'The Bachelorette': Who Is Nayte Olukoya On Michelle Young's Season? Age, Job, Instagram And More
Brenda Alexander
Nayte Olukoya has already made a great first impression on Michelle Young and viewers on Season 18 of The Bachelorette and the season has just begun.
The chemistry between Young and Olukoya is clear, with many speculating he'll get the final rose.
How old is Nayte Olukoya from and where's he from?
Olukoya (full name Tundé Nayte Olukoya) is a 27-year-old sales executive who lives in Austin, Texas.
But, the Texas resident hails from Canada. Per his ABC bio, Olukoya has a way with the ladies and it's easy to see why. He stands at 6-foot, eight inches tall. But, he's done playing the field. His dream wife is "outgoing, spontaneous and has enough swagger of her own to keep up with him."
Furthermore, he needs a woman who exudes passion. "He's looking for a connection filled with heat and for someone who will be just as passionate about him as he is about her," the bio continues. "[He's] confident that Michelle may just be the one he's been waiting for.
Other contestants aren't so convinced that Olukoya is ready to settle down.
"Nayte is a player," one contestant says in a clip of a future episode as scenes of him kissing Young play.
He's even confronted by Clayton Echard, with Echard telling him, "You're an actor and you've come on a reality TV show," to which Olukoya responds, "What are you talking about?" At one point in the trailer, Nayte breaks down and cries and so do a few other contestants.
Where did Nayte Olukoya go to school and what's his degree in?
Only time will tell whether he wins, but he's made his mark. He's also a proud dog dad, flanging photos of his dog, Percy.
The Canadian-born new TV star also holds a BA in business administration and a minor in Africana studies from Eastern Washington University in 2019, something Young, a teacher, should be impressed with.

SPOILER ALERT: Does Nayte Olukoya win 'The Bachelorette' season 18?
Bachelor Nation's resident spoiler man Reality Steve reports Olukoya wins the season.
Brandon Jones is reportedly the runner-up for Michelle Young's love. Reality Steve is typically right about season spoilers for The Bachelorette, but again, only time will tell.
