Most people like to keep their romantic relationships fairly private, but Viktor Simco has decided to share his with the world as a contestant on season 17 of The Bachelorette. During the show, he will be hoping to win Katie Thurson’s heart, but it won’t be easy. Although Viktor is good looking and interesting, he will be up against some very stiff competition.

Either way, it’s clear that his belief in God plays an important role in his life. His Instagram bio reads, “Psalm 103:8 God is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love.” Hopefully, he and Katie are on the same page when it comes to religion.
