Arie Luyendyk Jr is the next 'Bachelor'

Racing car driver Arie Luyendyk Jr, who participated in Emily Maynard's "The Bachelorette" season 8, will now get a chance to find love on television "The Bachelor".
The son of Indy 500 champ Arie Luyendyk said on "Good Morning America" that he's looking for a woman who's "independent, strong, but then still gentle", reported Ace Showbiz.
The 35-year-old hunk added, "Obviously, there's got to be that chemistry there. Emily and I had it previously and I'm hoping to find that type of love, for sure."
During Emily's season, Arie earned the nickname "Kissing Bandit."
He made it into the final two but lost to his rival Jef Holm.

After his stint on Emily's season, Arie never appeared on any other "Bachelor" spin-offs like "Bachelor Pad" or "Bachelor in Paradise".
He was considered for "Bachelor" season 17 but lost the spot to Sean Lowe, who also previously vied for Emily's attention.
He was courted again for "Bachelor" season 19 but lost to Chris Soules from Andi Dorfman's season.
