Calling Justin Y the calm in the eye of the storm might not be a stretch considering the sizzling hot competition in the form of 32 contestants wooed by the ever-beautiful Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia in 'The Bachelorette' Season 19 on ABC. For the Connecticut man, the stakes are higher considering his identical twin brother, Joey is on the show as well. A former contestant on Season 26 of 'The Bachelor', Gabby is a 30-year-old ICU Nurse from Denver.

She made it to the top 3 of Season 26 and was a fan favorite all season. Meanwhile, a former contestant on Season 26 of 'The Bachelor', Rachel is a 25-year-old Flight Instructor from Clermont, Florida. She made it to the top three on Season 26 of 'The Bachelor' and was touted to sweep up as the clear winner.

The 24-year-old from Brookefield with a million-dollar smile may or may not have been rumored to have a special someone back home, but all that said and done, both brothers are on the show and will give each other a stiff competition to win over Gabby and Rachel. Justin's Instagram pretty much portrays him just as the way his personality is — laidback and pleasant. With the show set to heat up over the course of the episodes, perhaps Justin's calm and relaxed attitude might just be what the women need.

Per ABC's description, "Justin Y. is the life of the party! He is a hardworking go-getter who enjoys clubbing in New York City's hottest spots with his favorite wingman, his identical twin brother, Joey. Justin Y. describes himself as attentive and loyal and says that he is ready to settle down when he meets the right one. His perfect woman is honest, outgoing, and family-oriented. Communication is everything to Justin Y. and long term, he could never be with someone who has issues opening up. Justin Y. is ready to find him forever and so, Gabby and Rachel, hope you're in it to TWIN it!"
