A few days before Season 14 of Bachelorette premieres Monday, May 28, and fans are already talking about which of Becca Kufrin's 27 suitors are frontrunners — including Garrett Yrigoyen. So who is Garrett from The Bachelorette? According to his official ABC bio, he's medical sales representative from Reno, Nevada. On May 24, TMZ published photos that they claim are of Becca kissing a man who might be her eventual fiancé — and some fans and media outlets have speculated that the man is Garrett. However, there is no confirmation has to who the man is and it's hard to see the man's face in the photos. Nonetheless, it has made Garrett a frontrunner for Becca's heart before the Bachelorette season has even began airing. At first glance Garrett's vague professional description may not sound like the least bit intuned with Becca's youthful and fun nature. But according to the 29-year-old's Bachelorette bio on the offical ABC website, he just could have a lot in common with the Bachelorette who is known for her catchphrase, "Let's do the damn thing." Garrett's passions are listed as "fly fishing, hiking and snowshoeing," showing that he's definitely an adventure seeker, especially when it comes to being in the wild. And along with his outdoorsy nature, the Bachelorette suitor's bio stated that he has a bit of a sense of humor too — citing "perfecting his Chris Farley impression" as one of his favorite pastimes as well. ABC/Paul Hebert Garrett's social media presence seems to be locked for now, with his apparent Instagram and Twitter accounts being switched to private. So if you're eager to find out more about the outdoors-obsessed suitor, you'll just have to wait until the Season 14 premiere to do so. With Becca's love for traveling, and dynamic personality, however, it sounds like the Garrett and Becca could have a lot in common. And if Garrett is as good to Becca in person as he comes off on paper, the medical sales rep just may have a pretty good chance to making it to those hometown visits, after all. If you've been keeping up with all of the antics surrounding the past season of the Bachelor, you know that Becca's journey to becoming the Season 14 Bachelorette was no small feat. The 28-year-old publicist, hailing from Minnesota, accepted the final rose and proposal from Season 22 Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr., only to have the rug pulled completely out from under her once the season wrapped. Arie broke off his engagement to Becca on-screen shortly after proposing in order to pursue Season 22 runner-up Lauren Burnham — totally leaving Becca devastated. But in the midst of that devastation, Becca didn't let the devastating on-screen incident squash her desire to find true love. And as heartbreaking as the entire scenario was, without it, it gave Becca the chance to helm Season 14 of the Bachelorette, and as a result, getting the engagement she wanted. ABC/Craig Sjodin That's right — Becca has already spoiled her Bachelorette season before it even began. Becca revealed to People that her Bachelorette season will end with a magical proposal and she's happily engaged. In the interview Becca said, "It was the happiest moment of my life. And it feels so good to say it. I still pinch myself, like, did that all just happen? It’s been a whirlwind." Whether or not Garrett is, in fact, her fiance or one of the final four men standing, knowing that Becca is that much closer to her happily ever after is amazing. Seriously, with the mix of interesting, to the say the least, suitors at Becca's fingertips — including a "colognoissuer" (seriously), a former Harlem Globetrotter, a "social media participant," a guy dressed in a chicken costume — Bachelorette Season 14 is definitely not going to be one to miss. And fans are sure to be rallying behind Becca every step of the way, in hopes that she picks the right guy, come May 28 — when Becca's Bachelorette season finally begins on ABC.<doc-sep>It's official: The Bachelorette is back, and so is Becca Kufrin, the most Midwesterny Midwestern bachelorette ever. I mean, her catch phrase is "let's do the damn thing" — a phrase ripe for future Home Goods wall hangings if I've ever seen one. The 28-year-old Minnesotan seems incredibly genuine, which is why I'm rooting for her. Oh, that and because ABC brutally destroyed her last season by filming that time her fiancé broke up with her. But fear not, because already, Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen's body language on The Bachelorette suggests girl is going to be fine. Spoiler alert: Becca has shared that she got engaged during the filming of this season. After Monday's episode, it seems like there is one clear frontrunner to the race, and that dude is Garrett Yrigoyen. Garrett is a 29-year-old from Reno, Nevada who works in medical sales. ABC describes him as "a true outdoorsman who loves fly-fishing, hiking and snowshoeing." He also apparently does a mean Chris Farley impression. But most importantly, Garrett received the "first impression rose" from Becca, as well as a kiss. It's worth noting that the past three Bachelorettes all ended up engaged to the recipients of their first impression rose. Plus, all of those Bachelorettes — Kaitlyn Bristowe, JoJo Fletcher, and Rachel Lindsay — kissed their future fiancés on the first night. The three appeared on last night's episode to give Becca some advice, and JoJo predicted, "Whoever she kisses tonight, or gives the first impression rose — keep an eye on them." Garrett's entrance was also... interesting. He rolled in with a minivan with a car seat in the back of it, as well as diapers and soccer balls. He wanted to highlight "the great dad and awesome husband," he'll be one day. The move made me throw up in my mouth, but it delighted Becca. Garrett "reminds me of home," she shared. "My family would love him. I really like Garrett." Because I'd like to know if Becca and Garrett are a done deal, or if I should keep watching, I spoke to body language expert Craig Baxter of All About Body Language, to gather his take on Becca and Garrett's body language. Here's what he shared. There's a lot of tenderness here. DISNEY/ABC This kiss is definitely tender, says Baxter. "However ,what’s interesting about this photo is her use of the ‘double touch’ — meaning that she utilizes a double hand hold," he adds. What's off about this? "We often only reserve this type of behavior for those who are deserving of a ‘little extra’ sincerity," explains Baxter. "We also tend to touch more when we find someone physically attractive, so as it’s Becca who has instigated this action, I’d say it’s a reliable sign of welcomed affection and attraction is felt." Ooh la la... Garrett's very open to being Becca's man. DISNEY/ABC Baxter calls this the "preening display." He says, "Becca takes great delight in placing this ‘symbolic rose’ on Garrett," says Baxter. "There are no concealed emotions here — Garrett gladly accepts!" Seriously about to put money on this dude. He continues, "Interestingly, placing a flower near your heart signifies that you’re indeed taken in some countries, whereas a flower on the other side of your chest means that you’re available." Let's be real, Becca and Garrett probably have zero ideas about these traditions. Still, this is a sweet moment that shows major potential for their relationship. Becca really likes this dude. DISNEY/ABC "Becca’s extra hold of Garrett’s neck with her left hand reveals her affection towards him," says Baxter. "This action screams, 'I’m holding you close and I don’t want to let you go!' [It's] behavior only seen with those who you find worthy of receiving such genuine tenderness." I often feel like hugs can be even more intimate than making out, so this makes sense to me. Additionally, Baxter adds, "Garrett looks utterly smitten." I don't blame him! Garrett is feeling confident AF. DISNEY/ABC This dude seems to loves a good manspread. "Garrett uses a crotch display and an ‘akimbo’ arm display to silently show off his territory to onlookers," says Baxter. "We often widen and spread out whenever we’re feeling confident, to the point where we want to show ourselves as being strong and powerful." Which is, after all, what some men seem to think women want. "This behavior is otherwise known as a ‘status display’ and features heavily whenever you’re around someone you fancy," explains Baxter. So yes, Garrett was full of minivan gimmicks on the season premiere, but he does seem to really like Becca.<doc-sep>Before Season 14 of The Bachelorette debuted on ABC, there was already controversy surrounding contestant Garrett Yrigoyen, who "liked" controversial images on Instagram. Despite his social media habits, he became a frontrunner for Becca Kufrin, and now he's reportedly made it passed several elimination roads, according to Reality Steve. Yrigoyen reportedly makes it to episode 4, where he goes on a one-on-one date in Park City, Utah, with Kufrin. They eat at the No Name Saloon for lunch and then go bobsledding with 2006 Winter Games silver medalists Val Fleming and Shauna Rohbock. To confirm Reality Steve's spoiler, he posted multiple pictures from the date that show Kufrin at lunch on March 27. They finished their date at the Granger Smith concert. In two of the pictures, Kufrin and Garrett are shown sharing a kiss. "Becca and Garrett, sittin' in a tree," the blogger tweeted in March. "Video of Becca and Garrett in their favorite pose - their faces stuck together." Fans at the concert, who were most likely unaware of Yrigoyen's social media activities, condoned the new relationship. "OBSESSED! There was so much chemistry! They were so cute," one wrote. "I'm obsessed with them!!" another added. After his social media activity was revealed by former Bachelor contestant Ashley Spivey, Yrigoyen issued an apology Thursday. He created a new Instagram account to share his message. "To those who I have hurt and offended: This is all new to me. I went on the Bachelorette for the adventure and possibility of falling in love, not fame. I did not know what to expect once the show aired. I am sorry to those who I offended, and I also take full responsibility for my 'likes' on Instagram that were hurtful and offensive," he said. "garret_yrigs12 was my former Instagram handle and I decided to take it down and start fresh because I have learned an extremely valuable lesson and am taking steps to grow, become more educated, and be a better version of myself. I am not perfect, and I will never be anywhere close, but now I will always be more informed and aware of what I am liking and supporting, not just on Instagram, but in life." Yrigoyen's new page has since been removed. Previously, Kufrin told E! News she hadn't been paying attention to the controversy surrounding her frontrunner. "I've heard a little bit about it these past couple days," she said last week. "I've just been so busy traveling around the country with press that I haven't really been able to read too much up on it, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and at the end of the day I wanted to go on this journey to open up myself and have people see my love story unfold, and I would hope that they would stay open and respect me but also stay open and respect these 28 guys that went along on the journey with me." To see all the drama unfold, don't miss The Bachelorette when it airs at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.<doc-sep>Your Tango has reported that Garrett Yrigoyen is a 29-year-old surgical technology consultant, who lives in Reno, Nevada. When he was younger, he played baseball when he attended the University of Nevada, according to Accept This Rose. He also happens to be a front-runner on The Bachelorette 2018, vying for the love of star Becca Kufrin. What’s interesting about Yrigoyen is that he was previously married to a woman named Kayla Cunningham and Bachelorette host Chris Harrison has said this has definitely affected Yrigoyen on the show. OKHereIsTheSituation has reported that the ex-couple’s wedding was on September 19, 2015 and they divorced after approximately 6 months. The divorce was finalized on March 25, 2016. Bachelorette host Chris Harrison commented on the split, saying that, “There’s a little backstory to Garrett. He’s heartbroken, and it wasn’t that long ago.” According to court papers obtained by Radar Online, from the Nevada Judicial District Court, the ex couple originally filed a joint petition for divorce on March 23, 2016, just two days before the divorce was finalized. It seems to have been a clean break, as no spousal support or alimony was included. The court documents reportedly stated, “Petitioners allege and state they are incompatible in marriage. They can no longer live together as husband and wife and there is no possibility of reconciliation.” Reality TV World has reported that Yrigoyen’s backstory with his heartbreak will play out on the show. In addition, show host Chris Harrison has said that Yrigoyen has a lot in common with Kufrin. Harrison says that Yrigoyen, who does impressions of the late comedian Chris Farley, is a nerdy and goofy guy. Harrison said that, even though Yrigoyen’s heartbreak will be discussed, he will not be the center of drama this season because he “puts Becca first.” Harrison has also said that Bachelor Nation will gravitate to Yrigoyen this season, dishing to People that, “He made a very good first impression. He has a lot in common with Becca. She is kind of goofy and funny in a nerdy kind of way, and so is Garrett. They really get along well from the beginning. Garrett is that guy that always makes it about Becca. He always puts her at ease. So she gravitates toward him.” Then Harrison continued, saying, “He’s a little bit reluctant and he’s definitely a very slow mover, which is very difficult for Becca to handle. That will come out over time.” The reasoning for this reportedly surrounds his break up from Cunningham. For those who want some spoilers on Yrigoyen this season, read on below. THIS IS YOUR MAJOR SPOILER WARNING. If you do NOT want to know Yrigoyen’s fate on the show this season, STOP READING NOW. The Bachelorette 2018 stars Becca Kufrin this season and the show airs on Monday nights, on the ABC network. The show airs at 8 p.m. ET/PT and 7 p.m. CT.

Memorial Day is great for a few reasons: it signifies the unofficially beginning of summer and the beginning of the new season of The Bachelorette. On Monday night's premiere Becca met all her suitors, like Garrett. What is The Bachelorette's Garrett's job? It may fall in the category of classic Bachelor franchise contestant profession. In his ABC biography, Garrett takes note of his passion for fly fishing. "Raised in a small town in Central California, Garrett is a true outdoorsman who loves fly fishing, hiking and snowshoeing. When he's not on an outdoor adventure, he's perfecting his Chris Farley impression. He's excited to find love with the Bachelorette…down by the river," it says — poetic! During the premiere, he even gave Becca a fishing demonstration that she must've loved so much she gave Garrett her first impression rose. But Garrett isn't a professional fly fisher (which Becca is probably grateful for, seeing as her ex Arie was also into an offbeat professional sport: race car driving). No, instead Garrett listed his career as "medical sales representative." What does this mean? A medical sales representative is defined as anyone selling or representing a product or service that could be utilized by people in the medical industry. A typical day for a medical sales rep varies but includes talking to customers (such as doctors or nurses) and trying to arrange meetings to meet sales goals. Not the most exciting industry, but certainly an important one. According to OK! Here's the Situation, Garrett's specific job is surgical technical consultant. It seems that he's deleted his social media presence — and he doesn't have a LinkedIn — so there's not much more sleuthing to do. To me, though, it seems that Garrett's personal life may be more interesting than his job — which could be why he showed off his fishing skills to Becca as opposed to his sales skills. Before The Bachelorette, Garrett was married to a woman named Kayla Cunningham. The two wed in 2015 but were divorced just six months later. Chris Harrison discussed some of his favorite contestants from this Bachelorette season with People; one of them is Garrett, and he touches upon his past: "There’s a little backstory to Garrett. He’s heartbroken, and it wasn’t that long ago. So he’s a little bit reluctant and he’s definitely a very slow mover, which is very difficult for Becca to handle. That will come out over time," Chris said. Chris Harrison also commented on Garrett's instant connection with Becca: "He made a very good first impression. He has a lot in common with Becca. She is kind of goofy and funny in a nerdy kind of way, and so is Garrett. They really get along well from the beginning." He continued, "Garrett is that guy that always makes it about Becca. He always puts her at ease. So she gravitates toward him." This is a good sign, despite his heartbreak. What's not so good, however, is what HuffPost found on his Twitter account. Garrett had apparently "liked" social media posts mocking Parkland shooting victims and undocumented immigrants. That's not all; some posts Garrett liked appear to be transphobic or racist in nature. That's a pretty awful look, especially because Becca seems smitten with him on the show. Then again, it's only the premiere episode, and there's a ton of the season left to go through. Will Garrett end up the winner of The Bachelorette? It's certainly too soon to tell, but he's definitely a controversial candidate from the start. I hope whomever Becca decides to "do the damn thing" with, she knows about their past — disturbing social media posts and all.
