He made one promise: The Bachelorette is not going away for good.

“The good news is I know it’s not going away. I know it’s definitely coming back. Without being able to get into too much of the creative decisions on it, I know that when it does, I just think it’s going to be absolutely tremendous,” Jesse said on the “Playing the Field” podcast.

He added, “I feel really really good with where the franchise is as a whole right now with The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette. There’s just so much that I think the franchise is offering in a variety and so much diversity in a lot of different ways.”
