Bachelor alum Colton Underwood tests positive for coronavirus

Colton Underwood kicked off his Instagram video with a warning to young people who might not be taking the coronavirus seriously, stating, “So, I guess the reason I’m sharing this is not to cause fear or panic, but to hopefully encourage you guys to stay home, do your part, take care of yourselves, take care of one another.” He then got candid about his symptoms, revealing, “It’s been kicking my ass, just to put it pretty bluntly. The main thing is I can’t even walk up a flight of stairs without being out of breath or go to the bathroom without having to sit down because I’m exhausted.” 

Underwood is currently resting at Cassie Randolph’s parents’ house in Huntington Beach, which is a good and bad thing. “I’m fortunate to have them,” he explained. “Unfortunately that means we’re all in this together, at this point. So we’ll keep you posted, but we’re in good spirits.”

Countless #BachelorNation stars took to Underwood’s post to wish him well, including The Bachelorette star Becca Kufrin. “Feel better,” she told her reality TV ex. “Skip the stairs and stay on the couch buddy!” Arie Luyendyk Jr. chimed in, “Dang dude stay safe and feel better, keep us posted.”
