Early Life and Pre-TV Career
Wells was born on May 16, 1984 and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. He attended Nashville School of the Arts for high school where he honed skills in singing, guitar and acting. After graduation, Wells studied at Vanderbilt University, majoring in journalism and mass communication.
In his early 20s, Wells worked as a radio DJ at various Nashville stations where he developed a talent for banter and entertaining listeners. According to colleagues, Wells always brought a sense of humor to his shows.
Eager to break into the entertainment biz, Wells moved to Los Angeles in 2010. He lived with fellow aspiring actor James Wolk when he first arrived. Wells held various jobs including modeling for romance novel covers, acting in commercials, and working in radio.
Big Break on The Bachelorette
Wells got his big break in 2016 when he was cast on season 12 of The Bachelorette starring JoJo Fletcher. His personality and Andrew Lloyd Weber impressions made him stand out from the pack.
Sadly Wells got eliminated in week 6 after opening up about past heartbreak. But he left with dignity and humor, solidifying his status as a fan favorite.
After this popularity boost, Wells headed to Bachelor in Paradise season 3 the following summer. We were all rooting for Wells to find love in Paradise! He hit it off with Ashley Iaconetti, but was once again eliminated in week 6 right before the finale.

Wells showed off his trivia knowledge competing on Celebrity Family Feud with fellow Bachelor Nation members against the cast of Vanderpump Rules – and won!
But perhaps Wells‘ most famous "post-Paradise" role is serving as the bartender on Bachelor in Paradise beginning in season 5. He entertains contestants and fans alike with his legendary cocktail-making skills. According to Entertainment Tonight, Wells even released his first cocktail recipe book in 2021.

In July 2019, Wells proposed to Sarah on the beach in Fiji with a gorgeous oval-shaped diamond ring. The couple originally planned to wed in August 2020, but postponed due to COVID. They still hope to marry once it‘s safer for guests.
