Queer Eye’s life and relationship expert, Karamo Brown, is another celebrity whose relationship came undone in quarantine. Karamo said he ended his decade long relationship with his fiance about three months ago. He said they tried counseling, but he realized he was just not happy or satisfied in the relationship.

Karamo spoke to US Magazine about his collaboration with Febreze for National Adopt a Pup Month. Karamo opened by saying he’d love to try dating by becoming The Bachelor. Karamo also said dating is a mess and that he dislikes when men DM him explicit pics. Below are a few excerpts:

Ready to hand out his final rose? Karamo Brown is a big fan of the Bachelor franchise — and he wouldn’t be opposed to becoming the Bachelor after his split from fiancé Ian Jordan.

“We can go for it. Let’s try it. I would … Why not?” the Queer Eye star, 39, told Us Weekly exclusively on Tuesday, October 13, while promoting his Febreze partnership. “Let me tell you something: what I’ve learned right now — and I tweeted this the other day — is that dating is a mess.”

Reflecting on the negative side of courtship, Brown shared that he hates being on the receiving end of obscene photos. “Not to be crude or anything, [but] sending inappropriate pics is not a way to ever engage with someone. That’s not universal for ‘hello,’” he explained. “I don’t know why guys think that’s an appropriate thing to do. So, it’s like, please keep it respectful. You know what I mean?”

The reality star continued, “The other day, I got someone who sent me Cardi B lyrics. … They literally sent me Cardi B lyrics for her new song and was like, ‘Hey, can we date?’ And I was like, ‘Why do you think this would be me? Like, me? You think I’m going to be like, ‘Oh, great. Cardi B lyrics. Yes, let’s date.’”

That being said, Brown sees the perks of being in the coveted Bachelor role. “So, if I could just get a whole bunch of great guys in one room and just to, like, go through, sign me up,” he added.

Baby, I am not a fan of the Bachelor franchise but would so tune into Karamo Brown’s Bachelor. Listen, that beautiful man needs to be on my screen all the time. Did I mention he is from Houston? I would like to see Karamo go through the process of dating because I want to see how a life coach would handle multiple relationships at once.

I also hollered when Karamo said don’t send him obscene photos. Karamo, let’s talk about those unsolicited d*ck pics sir. I know all about them. In fact, Celebitchy encouraged me to block someone after she saw how upset I was after receiving their unsolicited pics. I was hella mad y’all and I still can’t figure out why guys think this sh*t is cute. Like, stop, please.

I was sad to read that Karamo and his partner had split. Rona seems to either strengthen relationships or amplify the cracks. I don’t think we have seen the bulk of the quarantine relationship fallouts yet. With that being said, Chris Harrison, the host of Bachelor, said several years ago that there will never be a gay Bachelor. I still wonder who we need to lobby at ABC to get Karamo as the first gay Bachelor.
