Burnett originally appeared as a contestant on Colton Underwood’s season of “The Bachelor.” She didn’t delve into her sexuality while on the show but is taking the opportunity to be open about her identity on “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Jamie King was the first bisexual contestant on “Bachelor in Paradise” in 2017. However, King didn’t explore any same-sex relationships during that season.
“Bachelor in Paradise” premieres on Aug. 5 on ABC.
