He’s the dreamy pilot set to fly straight into our hearts on The Bachelor but Jimmy Nicholson is, at heart, a family man.
Consisting of his mum, dad, sister, brother-in-law and his adorable nephew, Jimmy has a tight bond with his clan.
“I’ve got a really close family,” he admitted in a recent trailer.

The incoming Bachelor added: “I want someone that I’d be proud to bring home to meet my family. Their opinion means everything to me.”
We can’t wait to see what they’ll have to say to Jimmy’s final two!
If you trawl through Jimmy’s Instagram, which we have 100 per cent done, he regularly shares photos with his fam.
The handsome pilot often shares photos from his travels and adventures, and flying is in his genes!
“My dad is a pilot, not a commercial one, but he worked for QANTAS and so did my grandfather. My uncle is also a pilot… so I grew up with it all my life. It’s a bit of a family tradition,” he said in an interview for Year13 back in 2014.

Back in 2018, he and his mum Susan completed a triathlon in Noosa.
“#Noosatri all done and dusted. What an amazing event. Shout out to mum who came second in her age group,” he captioned the snap.
The fit father and mother duo were all smiles and sweat when they completed their sports odyssey.
What a nice achievement to experience with his mum!

“One of the positives to come out of 2020 – my nephew no longer cries when I hold him 😍#unclelove,” he cheekily captioned a photo from last year.
Perhaps he’ll be welcoming his own little bundle of joy with his Bachie winner soon…

In December 2019, Jimmy posted a picture of his family posing in their customary garb with the caption, “Christmas tradition with La familia.”
Which Bachelorette will spend Christmas with the Nicholson?

“I feel very fortunate to be the Bachelor 2021. I am ready to open up my heart and meet someone.” he said in a statement.
“I hope to meet someone with similar values that I can have fun with and that shares the same zest for life as myself. The Bachelor franchise has produced many success stories and I hope to be the next.”
