The Bachelor 2018: Who Is Chelsea Roy's Ex?

Chelsea Roy has stood out this season on The Bachelor. She's the only single mother (she has a 3-year-old son named Sammy), and she's been extremely forward about getting her one-on-one time with Arie this season, which has rubbed some of the other girls the wrong way.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SPOILERS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!


According to Reality Steve, the father of Chelsea's baby is a man named Mike Wilson. Chelsea and Mike were never married; in fact, according to the outlet, Mike is now married to the woman he left Chelsea for. The woman, Rani Williamson, is a former Miss Maine USA; she and Wilson recently had a son together this past August. Both Mike Wilson and Rani Williamson's accounts are currently private.

Mike works as a Senior Loan Officer at Residential Mortgage Services, where he has been since 2007.

According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Mike filed a custody dispute in September, asking to modify his original custody agreement with Chelsea. The outlet reports Wilson as writing in the filing, "Defendant [Roy] quit her job and moved to California on September 16, 2017 to be a part of the ABC show the Bachelor... The show is filming currently and Defendant could be gone anywhere between two and ten weeks or more... The parties son, Samuel M. Wilson, is now exclusively residing with plaintiff, who is fully supporting him."

On January 29th's episode, Arie asked Chelsea to talk about her ex and her son. "I was drowning in a life that seemed perfect," she told Arie. Roy said when she met her ex, he "swept her off her feet" and offered her a life that was "very comfortable." She says they were together for a total of seven years before the couple separated when Sammy was 6 months old.

The drama doesn't end there with Roy. Multiple outlets report that Chelsea was rumored to be dating Patriots player Julian Edelman up until she filmed The Bachelor. Reality Steve says that she "basically went on [the show] because she wants to have a modeling career."

Chelsea scored the first impression rose of the season, and on the January 29th episode, she'll go on her first one-on-one date with Arie. The 29-year-old is a real estate executive assistant, originally from South Portland, Maine, and stands 5'6". Asked by ABC about her guilty pleasure, she says, "Sweet tooth!"

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
