“Take a moment and say your goodbyes…”
It looks like Chris Harrison’s leave of absence from the Bachelor franchise is becoming a little more permanent.

Then, in an interview with Rachel Lindsay, Chris seemed to basically excuse Rachael Kirkconnell’s actions. Chris then announced that he would be taking a leave of absence from the show following a series of Instagram apology posts.
Now, in a statement from the official Bachelor Instagram, it’s been confirmed that Chris won’t be coming back for the next Bachelorette season — making it the first season that Chris hasn’t hosted.
Instead, former Bachelorettes Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe will be hosting.
