The Bachelorette contestant James Clarke wants to have six kids

James is a "charmer." The Illinois native aims to bring someone special and introduce her to his big Italian family. The Bachelorette contestant hopes to find someone who will care as much about him as he will about her.

Viewers will have to tune in to the season to find out if he manages to woo the ladies and fall in love with either of them.

James is looking to find a "relationship with undeniable chemistry," and throughout the show, hopes to meet his best friend with whom he can spend the rest of his life with.

The reality newbie also aims to have six kids with his future wife, so she should be "ready and excited for the nonstop thrill ride that is parenthood." He values his family the most and wants to bring a valuable addition to the same.

Some fun facts that James shared with ABC ahead of his debut on The Bachelorette include: a big love for Waterski, and the fact that nothing makes him happier than a plate of piping hot meatballs. The contestant also describes himself as a huge LeBron James fan, as is clearly shown from his Instagram pictures.

James was originally expected to make his debut on the show as a cast member during Clare Crawley’s season. However, he didn't end up making the final cut once the pandemic delay ended and filming began. As per his LinkedIn profile, he is currently working on a master’s degree in business administration at DePaul University.

The Bachelorette contestant doesn't have a huge social media following. But that is expected to increase after his debut, depending on how he plays out with the two women and on the show throughout this summer. From his social media handles. he seems like an outdoorsy person and loves fishing, boating and skiing.

James also participated in Blackout Tuesday, an initiative that was designed so that people could show their support towards the fight to end racism. Previously, several Bachelor Nation relationships came to an end after political differences, so it will be interesting to see if this does have an impact this season.
