Finally, Matt Donald Is Getting the Recognition He Deserves on Bachelor in Paradise

Published on Sep 3, 2019 at 10:40 AM

It takes a pretty special person to get booted off of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette the first night and still make it to Bachelor in Paradise. Case in point? "Grocery Store Joe." Matt Donald, who is known for his entrance on a tractor on Hannah Brown's season, made a big enough of an impression to get a spot on season six. Finally, another person who was shafted on their season is getting redemption!

It was clear from the moment Matt stepped on the beach in Mexico that several women weren't mad about setting their sights on his heart-stopping smile. We have a feeling that Matt will make it further on BIP than he did on The Bachelorette, so let's get to know this sweet man.

He Has a Brother and Sister, and They All Look Exactly Alike

There's no mistaking these good genes!

He Has a Dog Named Saban

A dog guy is our kind of guy.

His Parents and Brother Are Deaf, So Sign Language Was His First Language

So, yes, he's good with his hands.

He Is an Old-Fashioned Guy Who’s Just Trying to Bring a Girl Flowers

Could Matt's ABC bio be any more endearing?
