Alex Templeman, 31, is the only Atlanta resident of the 29 men cast on the show's 14th season. He's a dog owner and a country music lover, according to his show bio. The construction manager enjoys boating and skiing in his time off.

Connor Obrochta is currently a fitness coach in St. Petersburg, Florida, but the University of Tampa graduate also briefly played professional baseball. After playing for the Tampa Spartans in college, the outfielder spent a season with the Gulf Coast League Braves, an Atlanta Braves rookie league that plays at Walt Disney World's Wide World of Sports.

Viewers will meet Templeman and Obrochta when they exit the limo at the Bachelor Mansion during the show’s May 28 premiere. “The Bachelorette” airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
