LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
If the new man looking for love on ABC’s “The Bachelor” looks familiar, that’s because he was rejected last season on “The Bachelorette.”
Jason Mesnick, whose proposal to DeAnna Pappas was spurned during the finale, will search for romance among 25 bachelorettes when the 13th season of the reality series returns in January.
ABC said Wednesday that the 32-year-old single father is looking for a woman who “has a real curiosity about the world, who loves life and can find passion in life’s smallest moments.” The network is casting for eligible women to vie for Mesnick’s attention.
Mesnick lost out in May during the fourth-season
“Bachelorette” season finale to professional snowboarder Jesse Csincsak, who’s engaged to Pappas. She herself was rejected by previous “Bachelor” Brad Womack during the series’ 11th season.
