Chris Harrison just announced his Bachelor Nation exit after a year of controversy. He is leaving the franchise after 20 years.
After almost 19 years of hosting The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, the 49-year-old star is set to officially exit the franchise.
Chris addressed his exit in an Instagram statement, and that will be the last time you hear him talk about it as he will allegedly receive an eight-figure settlement in exchange for not speaking out about his departure. So…no Oprah tell-all?!

Prior to tis announcement, Harrison had been on temporary leave following the controversial comments he made in defense of contestant Rachael Kirkconnell, who came under fire after photos surfaced of her at a 2018 antebellum plantation themed fraternity event.
Looks like this is the final rose for Chris Harrison.
