Jake Pavelka Is The Bachelor: On The Wings Of Love (PHOTOS)
Dallas pilot Jake Pavelka was officially announced as the new Bachelor during Dancing With The Stars results show on Tuesday (October 13). The 31 year-old Bachelor, who was eliminated by Jillian Harris in the last season of ‘The Bachelorette’, is hopeful he will find true love in one of the 25 women that will battle for his attention on the show.
“I’ve dated some really amazing girls, but I’ve never been successful at finding that one girl,” Jake says, “and I saw how the whole thing comes together, the process with Jillian. I saw how the process works and I believe in it. That’s a unique way to meet somebody. I have a really good life now, but I would love to share it with someone.”
Jake’s parents reveal he likes adventurous women. “He likes a girl that is spontaneous,” mom Sallie says. “The way he put it to me, he would like a girl that can work in the yard and then put on a pretty dress and go out to dinner.”
But what Jake really wants is an energetic fun girl that can keep up with him. Jake said, “I fly on the weekends, play golf, go to a movie, but I’m not a couch potato. That’s the one thing I have to make these girls understand — I have a lot of energy. I love salsa dancing. Country dancing on a Thursday night in Dallas is really fun, too. I enjoy working with my hands, creating or building something, landscaping and doing garden work. Even if [a woman] didn’t enjoy doing the things that I do, I would want her to be a part of them because I love them so much.”
Jillian Harris, who is happily engaged to her final guy Ed Swiderski (rumored to be cheating on her with at least two girls), said, “Jake has a huge heart and he’s very sensitive. He isn’t afraid to show his emotions. The world will see how far he is willing to go to find the right person.”
The new season of ‘The Bachelor’ with the tagline ‘On The Wings Of Love’ (Jake is a pilot… how cute!?!) premieres earlier next year (January 2010).
