‘Nana helps me swipe on Tinder,’ Colton, 29, captioned the post.
‘My nana is picky, honest and blunt. But after we stopped filming she said “I’m not going to let you settle, you deserve the best and i want someone to make you very happy,” he added. ‘We all need a nana in our lives ♥️’
‘Um, kinda, he looks happy,’ Colton’s grandma said of one potential date before asking her grandson to slow down with his swipes. ‘I can’t go that fast if you want a true assessment.’
The duo giggled as they kept swiping left, with Colton’s nana saying ‘maybe’ to one of the men.

‘The next step in all of this was letting people know. I’m still nervous. It’s been a journey, for sure,’ he said. ‘I’m emotional, but in such a good, happy, positive way. I’m the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been in my life, and that means the world to me.’
Colton also apologized to his former partner Cassie Randolph, whom he had met on The Bachelor, after she had filed a restraining order and accused him of stalking and harassment after they split during the summer of 2020.
He shared: ‘I’d like to say sorry for how things ended. I messed up. I made a lot of bad choices.
‘If I’m being honest, I loved everything about her and it’s hard for me to articulate exactly what my emotions were in going through with that relationship with her was, because I obviously had an internal fight going on.
