A SELF-PROCLAIMED renaissance man, bachelorette contestant Mollique Johnson is one of 30 contestants vying for Michelle Young’s heart.
Making it through the second rose ceremony on season 18 of The Bachelorette, Johnson says he is a “hopeless romantic” and is “ready to find his person.”
Who is Mollique Johnson?
Johnson is an academic administrator from San Diego, California, and is a huge Nicholas Sparks fan, according to his ABC bio.
The 36-year-old says in his bio that being raised by women has made him a “domesticated day renaissance man who believes wholeheartedly in the power of love and family.”
Johnson has an 8-year-old son, and his bio says being a dad has taught him “what true unconditional love is and is ready to share that with the love of his life.”
What happened in the second episode of The Bachelorette?
There were two group dates with bachelorette Michelle Young in episode two.
The first took place in a school setting that closely resembled the show Are you smarter than a fifth-grader?
But the second date introduced two WNBA athletes for a basketball-themed group date. Las Vegas Aces player Dearica Hamby and Chicago Sky player Diamond DeShields showed up to provide an assist.
“The second group date gives the men a chance to prove what it takes to be a good teammate on – and off – the court,” ABC revealed.
