Andrew Spencer is making great plays on The Bachelorette and on the football field. But fans are still curious about Andrew's job and his residence in Austria. Here's everything to know about the emerging reality TV star's professional football career and unique international lifestyle.
Andrew, 26, caught Bachelorette Katie Thurston's attention when he exited in a fancy vehicle and greeted her in a British accent. Although his accent was fake, his connection with Katie turned out to be very real. On a group date, Andrew and Katie bonded over their similar childhood experiences. After Andrew opened up about the strong women who were instrumental in raising him, Katie awarded Andrew the group date rose. Since then, his connection with Katie has continued to grow and Andrew has emerged as an early fan favorite this season.
The Chicago native also has an unconventional job. He currently plays football for the Dacia Vienna Vikings as a defensive back and running back, splitting his time between America and Vienna, Austria. Since joining the team in 2019, Andrew has become a staple member of the team and helped the Vikings win an Austrian title series in 2020. Unfortunately, Andrew had to miss three games of the 2021 season in order to film The Bachelorette. However, Andrew says that his coach and teammates were supportive of his choice to pursue love on the show.
Playing American football in Europe gives Andrew a unique perspective on the sport and the opportunity to travel often. But before beginning his professional sports career, Andrew was a defensive back for the Division II school Winona State in Winona, Minnesota. There, he honed the offensive skills that would prepare him for his future career. Andrew also comes from a family of football stars: his cousin is Clay Harbor, who played on various NFL teams over his eight-year career. Clay, who appeared on The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise himself, nominated Andrew for the show and most likely provided invaluable advice as Andrew prepared for his reality television debut.
Although the season has just begun, Andrew will undoubtedly play an important role as Katie's journey to find love continues. However, the season has already been plagued by drama between the contestants as several men, including Karl Smith and Thomas Jacobs, have been accused of being on the show for self-promotion. But if Andrew can stay out of the fray and continue to impress Katie with his international flair and kind heart, he is sure to go far.
