There was no dearth of drama on the Season 16 of 'The Bachelorette'. With the finale only a week away, viewers are eagerly waiting to see which one of the final three suitors would be asking for Tayshia Adam's hand in marriage. In the last rose ceremony, Ben was sent home, as Tayshia took Ivan, Brendan and Zac C to the finale. Ahead of the final proposal that's due next week on December 21 and 22, here's everything you need to know about Tayshia's three suitors. 

Ivan

(ABC)

One of the most reserved yet charming men on Season 16 of 'The Bachelorette', Ivan is an aeronautical engineer from Dallas. He finished his graduation from Texas University with a bachelor of science in industrial engineering, and now works at Lockheed Martin, according to Entertainment Tonight. 

He and Tayshia connected for the first time when they discussed the Black Lives Matter moment in one of the segments and what it meant to each other. However, in the last episode, Ivan was seen telling his mother that he isn't sure about his engagement to Tayshia as he's yet to meet her family. Will Tayshia have him around until he makes up his mind as his mother pointed out? 

Zac C

(ABC)

Zac C's past left a lump in our throat when he first revealed his struggles with brain tumor and addictions. A victim of substance abuse, Zac went on to pursue his career as an addiction specialist. When he was in college, he wanted to pursue a career in sports but his additions stopped him from achieving his dreams.

He admitted on the show that he recovered after four months of rehabilitation. Zac has also been through a divorce and their mutual aspect of life drew Tayshia close to him. 

Brendan

(ABC)

Perhaps the first time Brendam showed a different side to his persona was when he met his niece during the hometown segment. He has come a long way since Clare Crawley's exit and Tayshia even said that she can totally see herself marrying him as he would be an "amazing father".

Brendan, who is from Milford, Massachusetts, works as a commercial roofer. He played basketball growing up and coaches middle and junior varsity basketball teams with his brother. He is also a divorcee and Tayshia felt connected with him when he first spoke about splitting with his high school sweetheart due to differences about having children.
