According to host Chris Harrison, all he had to do was ask.

They realized that this time, Brad was serious about finding love.

According toUs Weekly, he had gone to therapy and tackled the issues that had led to his commitment-phobia.

When Chris asked if Brad would ever return for a third season, Brad gave an emphatic answer.

“I will not do it a third time.

I promise you,” he told Chris with a laugh.

Brad is currently single, in case anyone’s looking for some non-televised love.
