The tables then turned toward the end of BiP Season 7, when it seemed Ivan had made moves on ChelseaVaughn despite the connection she’d established with Aaron Clancy. As the teasers for BiP Season 7’s Sept. 28 episode have hinted, it seems that Ivan did something out-of-bounds at the hotel where the cast and crew had retreated to last week to weather an impending storm. But who is the seemingly sweet-natured Hall? Here’s what you need to know about Bachelor Nation’s Ivan Hall.
What is Ivan Hall’s age?
Ivan is 29. He was born on March 9, 1992.
Ivan Hall is a groundbreaker on the show
While Ivan isn’t as outgoing as some other Bachelor Nation contestants, he is a trailblazer. Ivan shared in November 2020 on Twitter that he’s the first Black and Asian contestant on the show, a fact he’s proud of.
What is Ivan Hall’s job?
Ivan is an aeronautical engineer, per his Bachelorette bio. He’s been a senior software quality engineer for Lockheed Martin for more than three years, according to his LinkedIn profile. And before that, he was a systems engineer at Northrup Grumman.
What is an aeronautical engineer and what’s their typical salary?
Aeronautical engineers work with aircraft, largely designing aircraft and propulsion systems and study the aerodynamic performance of aircraft and construction materials, per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to a few different job sites (Indeed, Glassdoor, etc.), at his level he could be making around $100k/year.
What is Ivan Hall’s religion?
Ivan is agnostic, meaning he’s not sure if there is a God. “A lot of people confuse it for being atheist, which is not what I am,” he told former Bachelorette star KaitlynBristowe on her podcast, Off the Vine. “Atheist is taking a hard stance that there is no God, and that’s not what I believe at all. It’s completely different things, but everybody confuses it. Agnostic is strictly saying, ‘I don’t know,’ basically.” Ivan added that he doesn’t think that anyone “really knows” if there is a God or not, and added, “whatever religion you are, honestly the majority of the world is actually not your religion.”
Why did Ivan get kicked off TheBachelorette?
Ivan and Tayshia broke up after the Fantasy Suite date when they talked about religion—and that’s when Tayshia realized they weren’t on the same page. “I’m gonna be like, yeah my answer’s gonna be different than yours,” Ivan later remembered telling Tayshia. “Because I’m gonna tell our kids, I don’t know what there is, and then you can tell the kids whatever you want, and you can take them to church, that’s completely fine with me.” Ivan also added, “You can have whatever religion you want, my main focus are the morals and values that you have, and that’s what I try to have. I just try to have good morals and values, that’s what’s most important to me.” Ultimately, Tayshia decided they weren’t a good match and sent Ivan home.
Who has Ivan Hall dated?
It’s not clear who Ivan dated before going on reality TV. Ivan was a really sporadic Instagrammer before he was cast on the show—so no old photos with exes—and he hasn’t said much about his dating past on the show. Tayshia isn’t Ivan’s only famous ex. He’s also been linked with Bachelor star Heather Martin (who got her first kiss onscreen on ColtonUnderwood’s season of The Bachelor). A source told E! in April that Ivan flew to San Diego to celebrate fellow Bachelorette contestant SpencerRobertson’s birthday, and he spent plenty of time there with Heather. According to the source, Ivan and Heather hung out at a club and looked “really cute” together. The source also said that the two “hope to see each other again.”
What has Ivan Hill said about Chris Harrison?
Ivan told E!’s Daily Pop that it was the right move after longtime Bachelor host Chris Harrison announced that he would be going on hiatus from his regular hosting duties after making controversial comments about race. “Going forward, I honestly don’t know how this will all shake out, but for myself for example, if they have future shows and if they were to ask me to be on Bachelor in Paradise or something like that—and I’m sure a lot of other contestants feel this way as well—I wouldn’t feel comfortable if Chris is there, to be quite frank,” Ivan said. “[I’m] not saying he can’t make a recovery, can’t learn from all of this, but, you know … it would just be too soon, really.” He added, “I think he needs to take some time really look into himself and really just have a lot of tough conversations and understand why he believes the things he believes at this point in his life.”
Ivan’s really close with his mom
Ivan’s Bachelorette bio mentions his mom several times. “He is very close with his mom and says he talks to her every day,” it reads, before noting that Ivan’s favorite foods “always come from his mom’s Filipino cooking.” Aww! Ivan’s mom has even popped into his Instagrams, with him sharing a sweet birthday tribute to his mother, calling her “the best mom in the world!”
He’s a sporty guy
Like most Bachelorette contestants, Ivan has shared several thirst trap-style pics and videos of himself doing sporty stuff. There’s one of him playing tennis shirtless, and another of him posing with a resistance band—also sans shirt. Spoiler alert
Who does Ivan Hill end up with on BiP?
Apparently, Ivan ends up leaving the show alone. He developed relationships with Jessenia, Kendall Long (very briefly) and Chelsea, according to Reality Steve, but none of them last. Next, read up on Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise.
