Who is Rodney Mathews?

Rodney, 30, used to play football for California State University before the reality show. However, the star's dream of becoming an NFL player was shattered after he faced a knee injury. After that, the California native started his career as a sales representative. Even though it wasn't his dream job, he had to do something to survive. 


 

As per ABC's official site, Rodney is defined as "a glass-half-full kind of guy". That description fits well with his character as he is enthusiastic, positive, and upbeat. In 'The Bachelorette', Rodney said that he was looking for "someone who he can laugh with every day". Moreover, what he is looking for is a deep mental connection, a clear vision, and a serious woman in his life. Moreover, the star is a family person. He is often seen posting photos of his mother and other family members. 

The star has learned a lot from 'The Bachelorette'. Now in 'Bachelor in Paradise' he returns with a clear vision of what he wants. Rodney is open to marriage and is eagerly looking for a life partner who has a "kind heart, kind soul, and a sense of humor". As per US Weekly's interview, Rodney claimed 2022 to be his year in terms of finding love. Hopefully, things will go the way he wants. 

'Bachelor in Paradise' Season 8 airs every Tuesday and Wednesday at 8/7 c on ABC.
