Is Colton Underwood single?

Colton Underwood is married to Jordan C Brown. The two were first spotted kissing on vacation in Hawaii back in 2021.

Brown is 38 years old and has worked on many high-profile political campaigns like Barack Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaign and Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign.

On February 28, 2022, Colton announced that he and Brown were engaged after nearly a year of dating.

The former Bachelor star seemed to be engrossed in his phone as he enjoyed being out and proud with his pals including Olympian Gus, 29. 

On Saturday, May 13, Brown and Underwood tied the knot in a three-day event at the Carneros Resort and Spa in Napa Valley.

When did Colton Underwood announce he was gay?

Colton came out to the world as gay in a candid TV interview on Good Morning America on April 14, 2021.

He began: "This year has been a lot for a lot of people. It's probably made a lot of people look in the mirror and confront what they were running from.

"For me, I've run from myself for a long time, and I've hated myself for a long time. I'm gay. And I came to terms with that earlier this year. The next step in all of this was letting people know. I'm still nervous, it's been a journey for sure."

He told Robin that he's now the "happiest and healthiest" he's ever been in his life after overcoming a bout of depression.

At one point, he claimed he would've rather died than admitted that he was gay.

When asked if he had ever harmed himself, Colton replied: "There was a moment in LA that I woke up where I didn't think I was going to wake up. I didn't have the intentions of waking up, and I think for me, that was my wake-up call of 'this is your life, take back control.'

"Looking beyond that, even just suicidal thoughts, driving my car close to a cliff and thinking 'if I drive my car off this cliff it's not that big of a deal...'"

"I don't feel that anymore," he declared.

Colton previously opened up about questioning his sexuality in his memoir The First Time, but denied that he was gay.
