Jesse Palmer

Publish date: 2024-06-04

Just saw Jesse Palmer do a guest co-host gig with Kelly Ripa. (Didn't see him as the bachelor.)He really is hot and charming. Also, he set off my gaydar big time. Does anyone know his story? He said he's not dating because he's married to his job. All of this sounded tres gay. What's the story on the street?

Didn't know he was the Bachelor. Don't know a damn thing about him other than that I find him to be extremely attractive. And he likes Broadway musicals! He is either one of those (rare) secure straight guys, or he is gay gay gay.

If he was a Bachelor he is gay. I think 95% of them are and just do this shit show for exposure and opportunity.

ESPN analyst and former football player. He's Canadian, so I wonder if that skews the gaydar.

I find him very attractive as well. He considers himself to be something of a clothes horse and all around bon vivant. Obviously more than just a dumb jock. It's my understanding that he agreed to do The Bachelor only with a guarantee of a job in broadcasting after his playing days were over. Too bad there don't seem to be any good shirtless shots from his time on the show.

Of all Bachelor veterans, it strikes me as somewhat interesting that hardly any of them have married anyone, much less the virtual stranger they proposed to on the show and then broke up with during the next news cycle. Going back to the very first guy, Alex Michel, and on through Andy Baldwin and Jesse, you had some good-looking, apparently eligible men but very few have gotten married to anybody.

Totally agree r5. There is something very odd about the fact that very few of these bachelors have married at all.

No one has ever posted a single sighting of Palmer with another man. He's a straight jock who is afraid of commitment. He's always seen with hot babes. I'd love to know he's even bi, but I haven't seen anything.

And as for "The Bachelor," the very first one is someone I know very well- he's VERY hetero - a Marine officer, happily married, father - he's a very handsome man, but he is not even 1% gay.

Per the DL, he only did The Bachelor to ensure his ESPN gig.

R7, that is actually Aaron Buerge, who was the second Bachelor. He was more or less a "civilian" in the celebrity sense who was a banker from Springfield, MO. He is one of the few guys on the show who has subsequently married.

R9, are you talking about Alex Michel? He was the first one and I don't remember him being a Marine and I had not heard that he is married. The last time they did a round-up of previous Bachelors, they didn't mention it, either.

I don't know if Jesse Palmer is gay or not and I don't really care as I'll never meet him. He's still a young guy and for someone with his looks and job, he's probably getting lots of sex and attention from whomever he wants, so there'd be no rush to get married.

The very first bachelor was Alex Michel, who I know very well. He is not a Marine officer, nor married (happily or otherwise), nor a father.

I wouldn't call him handsome beyond "mildly above average". And, whatever his sexual orientation, he is most definitely more than 1% gay.

The first bachelor was Rob Campos. Check your records again.

I misspoke - Rob Campos was the first bachelor in the first reality program "For Love or Money" - he was not on the Bachelor. My apologies.

"Jesse Palmer, current ESPN analyst and former Bachelor has always been rumored to be gay, especially when he was a QB at the University of Florida..."

When they were interviewing Kate Walsh, it was interesting that Jesse brought up how exciting it must be for her to be working with Taye Diggs and Benjamin Bratt.

I saw the Host Chat segment and I thought he was pretty dull. He's obviously very attractive and I'd have been pleased to see him do well, but I was disappointed. He didn't seem to have much energy or affable humor.

Drafted by the New York Football Giants. Not gay.

He makes mama moist. Mama wants him deep inside.

He's on again today, exchanging glances with the aging Hugh Grant.

Hugh Grant seems like a charmless, doddering old man these days. Jesse Palmer could do so much better than him, it's hard to believe any glances were exchanged.

I'll give Hugh a pass on this one. He had a terrible cold and they all disinfected their hands with gel after greeting one another. I think he would have cancelled if he could have, but he was promoting his new film. I'd like to see him again when he's not feeling like death warmed over.

He wore a navy blue suit, black shoes, and argyle socks.

Today Jesse told Kelly he has an apartment on the Upper West Side. If they let viewers decide on the new co-host, he has my vote.

That's the #1 excuse for closeted gays.

#2: I'm dating someone, but she lives in Eastern Europe so we don't get together too often.

Bump. Anything new on JP?

Now he hosts Food Truck Face Off on the Food Network.

I find it interesting that he no longer does sports broadcasts on ESPN and FOX. I wonder if they won't hire him because of the gay rumors.

He's super hot though. And yes, I think he's gay. He's not even pretending to be looking for a girlfriend/wife.

I doubt he's gay. He has co-hosted The Chew two times in the last two weeks. I never got the impression he is gay. His body language and eye contact with the co-hosts and guests says to me he is heterosexual.

[quote] I never got the impression he is gay.

He was a college and professional football player. I'm sure he has mastered the game of being in the closet.

There are such things as masculine gay men.

R33 How many people train eye contact? Looking at women, who are not your partner or a sexual interest, for longer than 3 seconds is a big indication a guy likely is gay. I didn't see that from Jesse.

I saw Jessie Palmer hosting on the Food Network again today. He's so hot.

Hey Jesse, call me and let's hang out and talk about how hard it is for us former U of F jock bros to find the right girl with our super busy schedules.
