Current Bachelor star Colton Underwood is just trying to keep everybody on their toes.
The 26-year-old — who just wrapped up his season a few weeks ago — teased his followers earlier this week on Instagram.
He shared a photo of himself from the Denver Nuggets game with somebody special, but he hid her identity by covering her with an emoji.
“Date night with my babe. She’s a little pixelated tonight, but I promise you that she has a great personality. Thank you @nuggets for hosting, ” he captioned the photo.
The emoji choice was extra funny because Colton decided to pick a pregnant woman, probably poking fun at all the virginity talk we’re going to get this season.
“Interesting prego emoji choice… could this be a hint,” one person commented.
Another person wrote, “Lol why is she pregnant though?!”
While most people seemed to get the joke, Colton took to Twitter to clarify his post.
What do you think? Post a comment!
“You guys read in to things wayyyy too much… can’t a guy just take his pregnant gal out on a date without speculation on his virginity?” he wrote on Twitter.
However, it turns out the mystery person behind the emoji wasn’t even a girl — it was fellow Bachelorette alum Blake Horstmann!
“Sorry to disappoint you America, but I’m @coltonunderwood’s plus one,” Blake wrote on his Instagram story.
Prior to filming The Bachelor, Colton opened up about his virginity and why he’s hoping to normalize it.
“I’m going to live my life and do what I’ve always done. [Being a virgin] needs to be normalized; it’s just who I am and what I believe in,” he said to People.
“I hold a lot of value in it and I hold it to a high standard. I’m just waiting for the right heart. This is the perfect time in my life to do this.”
He continued, “I’m so unbelievably happy with myself and now I can focus on finding my wife. I’m so excited to find that. My heart is 100 percent healed and I’m going to give this my all. And hopefully I’ll come out of it engaged!”
