The New York Post’s Page Six reported Harrison is building a home in Austin for him and Lauren Zima, “Entertainment Tonight” host and Harrison’s girlfriend.

Bachelor Nation fans speculate the move indicates the longtime host may be departing from the shows.

Rumors of Harrison’s exit began when Season 12 contestant JoJo Fletcher temporarily replaced him in the most recent ‘Bachelorette,’ Us Weekly reported. But Harrison explained he was taking a break to take his son to college at Texas Christian College in Fort Worth and may take time to return to set due to COVID-related measures.

Harrison has hosted “The Bachelor” since the series began in 2002.
