Chris Harrison Facts

He kickstarted his television career by covering local sports in Oklahoma City in Oklahoma and a trip to L.A. for a screen test for a horseracing network had led to the permanent move.

Chris has stated that he had dreamed of becoming a professional athlete, having craved to be a soccer player. He has continued participating in games here and there and has often taken his kids to the big soccer events and games.

He has stated that he was actually rejected as the anchor for The Bachelor at first. His agent had initially informed him that he didn’t make it and it was a few days later that he found out that a mistake had been made and that he did get the gig.

Chris has disclosed that strangers have come up to him in bars and started telling him about their love lives when he has wondered if they expect him to make it better somehow.

He has revealed that when it comes to birthday festivities, he does not like to celebrate on just a single day, but loves to do so the entire month which is why he has always had a “birthday month” instead.

In February 2021, Chris received some backlash over defending Rachael Kirkconnell against the racist behavior in her past. He later issued an apology and revealed that he had decided to take a break from hosting The Bachelor. In June 2021, Chris announced that he was stepping aside as host of The Bachelor franchise.
