Former Bachelor Colton Underwood is closing his chapter on living in Los Angeles.
“Thank you Los Angeles. This second round of living in you was so much better. I met my husband, made incredible friends and welcomed our baby boy. Our family is leaving with so much love & we are ready for the next chapter 🫶🏼,” Underwood, 34, wrote via Instagram on Monday, August 31. “It’s time for daddy to get his farm 🐓.”
Underwood also shared a series of photos with husband Jordan C. Brown and their 23-month-old son, Bishop, as the family loaded up a moving truck. “Thank you Los Angeles,” Underwood wrote over an image.
After Underwood appeared on The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise in 2018, he became the Bachelor in 2019. Underwood publicly came out as gay in 2021 and began dating Brown later that year. The couple tied the knot in 2023 and welcomed Bishop via surrogate one year later.
“The honeymoon phase evolves and changes,” Underwood exclusively told Us in 2025, adding that having their son has only added to their “honeymoon phase.”
“Watching Jordan be a dad right now is, like, the coolest, sexiest, fun thing ever,” Underwood gushed. “I can’t get enough of it. Seeing him in an all-new light, you know, getting to work with him as a team and raising our child is incredible.”
Underwood shared he has learned things about himself while navigating parenthood.
“I never really could have understood the connection that, you know, fathers and sons could have … until he was born, until I held him, until I woke up at 3:00 a.m. with him and had to give him a bottle,” Underwood said. “It’s an honor to be his dad.”
The next year, Underwood took to Instagram to share a photo of himself and Brown smiling for a selfie with Bishop. Over the image, Underwood included a screenshot of an Instagram comment that read, “I feel bad for that kid.”
Underwood replied to the user in the next slide, writing, “Genuinely curious what you meant by this. Because if you ‘feel bad’ for Bishop, I’d love to understand why. He’s loved, supported, celebrated, happy and surrounded by people who show up for him every single day.”
Underwood continued, “What a child actually needs protection from isn’t a loving family. It’s ‘adults’ who use vague, loaded comments to express disapproval they don’t have the courage to say out loud. Words like yours, ambiguous enough to deny, pointed enough to wound, are exactly how kids learn that who they are is something to be ashamed of. That’s the thing worth feeling bad about.”
The Traitors alum noted that he and his family are “great” before thanking the user for the “reminder that this work still matters.”
“Comments like this are something I write about a lot in [his memoir] Dear Bishop,” Underwood wrote in the caption. “Some days they don’t affect me. Other days, they ruin my day. Most days, they remind me why sharing my life this publicly is worth it … because somewhere there’s a kid, or a man, who might find comfort or something familiar in my story. That’s what keeps me living openly.”
