Is Emmanuel Acho Dating Someone From Bachelor Nation? 

Bachelor Nation fans met Emmanuel Acho in March when he stepped in to host After the Final Rose. The franchise was in the middle of a controversy involving the racially insensitive behavior of contestant Rachael Kirkconnell. She ultimately won Matt James’ final rose, but they split before the ATFR taping. 

The controversy swept up Chris Harrison and he took a step back from his hosting duties. He hasn’t returned yet. 

Emmanuel Acho isn’t unknown to anyone who watches Fox Sports, where he co-hosts Speak For Yourself. 

While viewers had mixed reactions to the news of a replacement host, many Bachelor Nation alums were here for it. Season 14 Bachelorette Becca Kufrin congratulated him on the hosting gig, People reported at the time. 

Now rumors are circulating social media that Acho and Kufrin are dating. 

Where Did the Rumor Come From? 

It may be wishful thinking from Bachelor Nation fans. All traces of the rumor point to it starting on the Date Card podcast’s Instagram. From there, it made its way to Reddit and other outlets. 

The podcast’s evidence is flimsy, but enough for a rumor to spread like wildfire. One Redditor, r/kimberbet, shared a piece of the evidence – a since-deleted comment Kufrin left on Acho’s fiery hot selfie.
