Colton Underwood is embracing fatherhood and living his best life with his husband, Jordan C. Brown, and their five-month-old son, Bishop Colton. The former The Bachelor star, who came out as gay in 2021, shared his excitement about his new role as a dad during the 33rd annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party in Los Angeles.
Speaking to PRIDE, Underwood reflected on the joy he’s found in fatherhood, expressing how natural it feels to raise his son with Brown. “I was born to be a dad and daddy, whatever you want to call it. We’re figuring out our titles still! Dad, daddy, pops… all of the labels,” Underwood said. “Hopefully, there’s more little ones in our future. It’s been the best thing that’s ever happened to us. It’s a dream come true.”
As Underwood and Brown navigate their new life as parents, the couple is enjoying their growing family and the new dynamic that comes with it. Despite the joys of parenthood, Underwood emphasized that he’s also making time for self-care, balancing his responsibilities as a father and husband with his own well-being.
“I have an incredible partner who loves and supports me and makes me feel good,” Underwood explained. “Then, I just find random times to take care of myself whether it’s a hot tub, a coffee, a Barry’s Bootcamp workout class, or an Equinox steam room… we’ll figure it out.”
Underwood also shared that he finds moments to unwind and focus on his physical health, which has become a priority for him. He enjoys the flexibility to fit in self-care activities, whether it’s a workout or a relaxing session in a steam room. Many fans will relate to his approach, as he highlights the importance of balancing personal wellness with the busy demands of parenting.
Notably, Underwood’s choice of the Equinox steam room is a nod to a popular self-care practice among many gay men, with its reputation as a social and relaxing space. It’s clear that Underwood is no stranger to enjoying the benefits of both physical activity and relaxation in places like the gym and spa.
Through his journey, Underwood has shown how embracing family life, health, and well-being can coexist, even as he continues to navigate his new chapter as an openly gay man. His openness about balancing his personal health with the challenges and joys of parenthood provides a relatable perspective for many.
As Underwood and Brown continue their journey with young Bishop, it’s clear that the couple is savoring every moment of their growing family while also prioritizing their own happiness and self-care.
