The long-awaited premiere of The Bachelorette season 19 has finally aired, and here are everything fans need to know about one of the 32 contestants, Johnny DePhillipo. The 25-year-old is ready to settle down, and he's in search of a partner that's intelligent, outgoing, and athletic. However, only time will tell if he will end up finding all of these features and more in either one of The Bachelorette's, Gabby Windey or Rachel Recchia.
The Bachelorette season 19 is off to a great start, with it being the second season with not one but two Bachelorettes. Unlike the first dual Bachelorette season, Gabby and Rachel will not be pitted against each other as it seems the ladies have developed a close friendship. The ladies were eliminated during Clayton Echard's season of The Bachelor and were both sent home following their overnight dates. Now, they are both in search of love, and hopefully, they'll find it this time around, without any drama.
Johnny made his debut as one of the 32 contestants on The Bachelorette season 19. According to Cosmopolitan, the 25-year-old is a realtor for Compass and hails from Palm Beach Gardens. Johnny, who shared his guilty pleasure on The Bachelorette, seems to be a simple guy that's simply looking for love and is also a huge dog lover. The reality TV star has a dog named Kilo, who he doesn't shy away from posting about online. Besides his love for his dog, Johnny loves his job as a realtor and enjoys helping people find their perfect home where they can one day build memories. According to his Compass bio, Johnny believes, "I believe your home is your sanctuary. Or at least should be treated as such. Whether you are a first-time home seeker or planning on your dream retirement residence the processes in doing so should be pain-free and exciting."
Outside work, Johnny, who might end up with Gabby or Rachel, enjoys relaxing beneath the Florida sun. If he's not doing either, fans can find him surfing, working out, or simply looking for a nice spot to hang out, eat, and party with his friends. According to Meaww, before Johnny began his career as a realtor, he used to work in the insurance sales sector, a businessman through and through. It's easy to see why Johnny may not have much of an issue relating to The Bachelorette fans who love old-school music, as two of his favorite musicians of all time are Frank Sinatra and Barry White.
In comparison to his fellow contestants on The Bachelorette season 19, Johnny doesn't seem to have much of a following online. However, the season has just begun, and there's still enough time for him to become a fan favorite. Right now, his focus seems to be more on Gabby, and if he's lucky enough, he might charm his way into her heart.
