The Bachelor Jake Pavelka: Where is He Now?
By Lillian Marx
Before there was Pilot Pete, there was Pilot Pavelka—Jake Pavelka, that is. While Peter Weber might have a mixed reputation with Bachelor Nation, Jake really made a bad impression by treating the women of Season 14 rudely, and ultimately choosing the season’s villain, Vienna Girardi, as his match. Unsurprisingly, the couple had a pretty nasty public breakup after a short period of dating. Here’s what Jake's been up to since then.
Jake Pavelka Now
Jake stayed in the spotlight for a bit after his time with The Bachelor franchise. He went on Dancing with the Stars alongside Vienna—and her new boyfriend. (He did not win.) He also appeared on Bachelor Pad, and the VH1 reality competition Famous Food.
As for his romantic life, he dated Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth for a spell. After that, he stepped out of showbiz dating circles and went out with an attorney from Arkansas named Tiffany.
Jake’s still got friends in Bachelor Nation, including former Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher. He vocally supported JoJo during her season, and even made an appearance as a surprise guest. Otherwise, he’s staying out of the limelight. He posts to social media, but sparingly, and he continues to work as a pilot. Very on-brand.
