Speaking his truth: During the conversation, the former professional athlete expressed that he had been on ‘a journey’ regarding his personal life over the past year
‘I’m gay, and I came to terms with that earlier this year and have been processing it…it’s been a journey for sure,’ he said.
The reality television personality went on to note that although he was still dealing with his feelings, his outlook on life was notably positive.
‘I’m emotional, but I’m emotional in such a good, happy, positive way. I’m like, the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been in my life, and that means the world to me,’ the athlete added.
Underwood then spoke about his relationship with his former girlfriend and Bachelor castmate Cassie Randolph, with whom he underwent a tumultuous breakup in May of last year.

‘It’s hard for me to articulate exactly what my emotions were in going through that relationship with her was because I obviously had an internal…fight going on,’ he noted.
The athlete went on to apologize to his 25-year-old ex-girlfriend for his actions, and acknowledged that he was emotionally reckless during their time together.
He stated, ‘I would just say that I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart. I’m sorry for any pain and emotional stress I caused…I wish it wouldn’t have happened the way it did.
‘I wish that I would have been courageous enough to fix myself before I broke anybody else, he added.’
