What Happened To Chase McNary After The Bachelorette?

ABC's Bachelor franchise has made the average person an influencer, and even led to some A-list dates! Anyone remember Tyler Cameron linking up with supermodel Gigi Hadid post-Bachelorette fame? As fans guess who the next lucky leading lady will be from Season 25 to helm The Bachelorette, it's clear whoever she is will get a slew of sexy men at her disposal. 

Before preparing for yet another Bachelorette season — this time hopefully without any mid-season cast shake-ups — let's take a look back at some of our favorite past alums who have gone on to stay in the spotlight. First on our list? Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher's ex Chase McNary. Not only was Chase equally as shocked to be JoJo's runner-up, but he went on to share his love life on multiple reality TV series and Bachelor spinoffs. Plus, you guessed it: Chase had a post-Bachelorette brush with dating a celebrity!

Even though he didn't get the final rose, Chase McNary did leave with the last laugh. The Bachelorette alum appeared on Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise, and MTV reality shows Ex on the Beach and The Challenge, per Life & Style. The Colorado-based star also has a real career outside of TV: Chase is a former medical sales representative, and today works as project manager for apartment exterior renovations, according to Bustle. He additionally opened Revel Social bar in Denver in 2018. With over 295K Instagram followers, Chase is considered an influencer and shares sponsored posts for fitness supplements.

As for his love life, Chase reportedly dated television host Tomi Lahren for "about two weeks," per a January 2017 interview with Us Weekly. "I have nothing bad to say about her," Chase stated. "We weren't in the same place, so we went our separate ways." Chase was supposed to be The Bachelor, but ABC later appointed Nick Viall without telling Chase, per Cosmopolitan.

Chase has now found a potential forever-love with clothing boutique owner Ellie White. Ellie also works as the director of memberships at elite club experience app, The Register. After dating for close to two years, Chase wrote a touching Instagram post to his girlfriend on Valentine's Day 2021. "I've never met another soul that loves harder than you," Chase captioned. Could Ellie be his fiancee someday? Only time — and perhaps another reality TV show — will tell.
