Here's Everything We Know About Olumide From The Bachelorette So Far
We've got yet another basketball player.
If there’s one thing everyone in Bachelor Nation knows about the newest Bachelorette Michelle Young, it’s the fact that she loves basketball. The Bachelorette played Division 1 basketball while studying at Bradley University and is the 13th-highest scorer in her college's overall athletic history. Since basketball is so important to Michelle, it makes sense that her season of The Bachelorette is chock-full of guys who love to shoot hoops, too. Olumide Onajide is one of the men from Michelle’s Bachelorette season who loves playing basketball, and he’s convinced that he and Michelle are meant to be together.
According to Olumide’s ABC bio, he’s “a strong believer in fate” and he believes that fate has brought him to Michelle. Not only are they both basketball players, but they both have also previously appeared on TV. Michelle, of course, was a contestant on Matt James’ season of The Bachelor, and Olumide competed on Fox’s show, Ultimate Tag. The fact that they have so much in common also can’t hurt when it comes to them forming a connection, but no matter what, Olumide is also apparently “coming in hot” to meet Michelle and win her over. Here’s what to know about this Bachelorette hopeful:
