Is Mike Johnson in a Relationship? Here's What the 'Bachelor in Paradise' Star Says About His Relationship Status
I’m not saying that I stayed all the way out of it. I wouldn’t say I’m not in any drama. I definitely wanted to stay out going into it. But I would say, being the man that my mom taught me to be—just being a good human being, a good person—helps to avoid a lot of conflict.
What’s your take, then, on the drama surrounding Hannah and Blake?
Hannah is such a sweet woman that I was kind of feeling bad for her because she’s growing and learning how to deal with, you know, letting someone down while on camera. You know, it’s not the easiest thing to do, but she handled herself well. You’ve got to continue to watch. With Dylan and Blake, I’m completely biased because Dylan’s my little brother. I love Dylan, and I tried to instill confidence in him and let him know that he has to speak things into existence and continue to go after Hannah.
I know you can’t share any spoilers, but what was your mindset leaving the show?
Great question. I’m happy that I went on Paradise. We’ll see in the near future what my Facebook relationship status is…
Speaking of relationship status, a lot of people would like to see you as the next Bachelor… What can you say about that?
I can say that it’s incredibly awesome and a great feeling that people even consider me or think I’ll be a great Bachelor. Quite honestly, that warms my spirit. Like, straight up.
Let’s just say for fun you’re single when you leave Paradise. What are you looking for in a partner?
I like core values. I like loyalty, ambition, and women who are feisty. I find that a feisty woman, I’m attracted to for some reason. Even if they get on my nerves, I’m attracted to it still. I look for sexiness. And I look for someone who can teach me something. Say you’re a dental hygienist or an astronaut, just teach me something.
Any deal-breakers?
Oh, deal-breakers. Yeah. I’m personally not into someone that smokes nicotine.
You talk a lot about how close you are to your mom and grandma. Who would they want to see you with?
I know this is cliché, but they just want me to be happy. I mean, they think they know what I like, but they just want me to be happy. You know how parents are. They’ll be like, “Oh, you’ll like this person!” And I’m like, “No, mom, I don’t like them.” [Laughs]
