Hannah Godwin has hinted she's ready to move on from ex-boyfriend Colton Underwood by appearing on Bachelor in Paradise Season 6, and she already has one particular Bachelorette alum on her mind.
Godwin, 23, spoke with Us Weekly for an interview published Sunday about what's in store for her romantic life after becoming the runner-up on The Bachelor. She revealed that she's open to the possibility of meeting a special someone on Bachelor in Paradise. "I know that, personally, I caught major feelings in this whole entire experience, so I think I'd definitely be open to catching feelings, but hopefully it would be on a two-way street situation instead of just a one-way," she said.
Godwin, a content creator, also admitted to her interest in Becca Kufrin's former Bachelorette suitor Blake Horstmann. Horstmann, a Colorado-based sales rep, competed for Kufrin's heart alongside Godwin's ex-boyfriend Underwood on The Bachelorette Season 14.
"There's a few really good options and I'd have to meet with them in person and see if there's a connection," Godwin shared with Us Weekly. "I don't know. I think Blake [Horstmann]'s a cutie."
Reality Steve addressed the possibility of Godwin and Horstmann linking up in Paradise in a blog post ahead of The Bachelor finale. He advised Bachelor Nation devotees to "keep your eye out" for the pair, as she's apparently "on his radar."
"Blake is interested, as I'm sure many guys are," Reality Steve alleged. "If she ends up not being Bachelorette and goes to Paradise, you can bet your ass she will be a lot of guys #1 option, and being right at the front will be Blake."
Godwin was the recipient of Underwood's first impression rose, but it was ultimately speech pathologist Cassie Randolph who succeeded in winning over the NFL alum's heart. Unlike previous Bachelor seasons, Randolph and Underwood concluded the show without getting engaged and are currently dating.
Godwin spoke with Entertainment Tonight about her abrupt split with Underwood. She admitted to being "confused" by the breakup. "I tried to make up for lost time and get answers I had been waiting for for months," she said.
Season 6 for Bachelor in Paradise hasn't been officially announced yet, despite hints from Bachelor Nation members and even the show's official Twitter page. If ABC decides to renew the series, it'll likely debut in August. Season 5 bowed on August 7, 2018, and Season 4 dropped on August 14, 2017.
