Who Is Ian Thomson Of ABC’s ‘The Bachelorette’ 2015 Season With Kaitlyn Bristowe?

Ian Thomson made a strong impression on Kaitlyn Bristowe at the beginning of ABC’s The Bachelorette 2015 season. He said he was glad that Kaitlyn was there and he seemed to sincerely have an interest in developing a relationship with her. According to Reality Steve’s Bachelorette spoilers for the upcoming episode, Ian will be making a strong impression once again. What’s the scoop on this bachelor?

ABC’s profile for Ian Thomson notes that he is 28-years-old and he hails from Los Angeles, California. He is an executive recruiter, and Reality Steve’s spoilers indicate that he works for DHR International as a senior associate in the media and entertainment sectors. As is frequently the case with this franchise, it seems that Thomson has also done some modeling over the years.

Ian’s LinkedIn page indicates that he was born in San Francisco and he’s been passionate about entertainment and technology for years. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Princeton University and he also minored in African-American studies and became certified in teaching English as a foreign language.

During his college years, Ian ran track and in high school he was in an a capella group, participated in the Big Brother/Big Sister program and played basketball and football in addition to running track. Many would say that Thomson is a bit of a different breed compared to many of the contestants on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette.

This bachelor says that his favorite movies include Taken, Limitless and Forrest Gump and his big date fear is that he will be out with someone who can’t hold a conversation. He greatly admires investor and businessman Richard Branson, but he’d love to have lunch with comedian and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. This Bachelorette contestant definitely believes in romance and sees marriage as an opportunity to be vulnerable, open and honest.

It sounds as if those values of openness, honesty and vulnerability may well come to the forefront in the Week 5 episode of The Bachelorette airing on Monday, June 15. Reality Steve’s spoilers indicate that Ian will confront Kaitlyn Bristowe about her motives and decisions and the conversation doesn’t end well.

Will viewers side with Ian or Kaitlyn in this confrontation? This is definitely shaping up to be quite the dramatic season and there’s still plenty more to go and things move toward that final rose ceremony. Tune in to ABC’s The Bachelorette 2015 season starring Kaitlyn Bristowe on Monday nights and see what you think of Ian Thomson’s upcoming confrontation.
