What happened

Martin — who appeared on season 23 when Colton Underwood was the lead star back in 2019 — appeared and asked to join the latest season to win over Matt James, per the New York Post.

  • Martin made headlines because she was never kissed before she appeared on “The Bachelor” back in 2019. Underwood gave her her first kiss, apparently.

According to US Weekly magazine, Matt turned Martin’s request down, saying he had strong feelings for the women already on the show.

“He believed that in another situation they could have worked out but the timing was off, so she left in her minivan,” according to US Weekly magazine.
