Nate, a former Denver Broncos cheerleader was quick to share his 6-year-old daughter.
“She is my world. Like, a pocket of my heart just burst open for the first time when she said, ‘Dad,’ [and] the first time she told me she loved me,” he said, describing himself as a “girl dad.”
“Listening to you speak about your daughter, watching you be able to give this unconditional love that’s going to go with her forever is, like, really the best thing I could ask for in a partner,” Gabby told her suitor, who didn’t go into details about the mother of his child.
During her confessional, however, Gabby admitted that she isn’t sure she is ready to be a stepmother.
“I started to think, ‘Am I there yet? Can I be mother? Is this the life I want?’ But I don’t have to make that decision right now,” she said, noting that she is estranged from her own mother.
Nate continued to impress Gabby by scoring the group date rose on episode 5. Bachelor Nation was quick praise Nate with many alums even tweeting about how he would make a great Bachelor. But, he was the center of attention before episode six, when two women claimed that Nate dated them both.
