Who Is Luke P. From 'The Bachelorette'—And What Does Hannah Brown See In Him?

Oh how quickly they fall. Luke Parker (a.k.a. Luke P.) stole the show the moment he set foot in the Bachelor mansion. The Bachelorette season 15 's Hannah Brown was instantly smitten, and the 24-year-old from Gainesville, Georgia, naturally stepped into the frontrunner position. But what goes up, must come down.

Everything You Need to Know About Luke P.

Just five weeks later, Luke P. the Southern gentleman has transformed into the Luke-ness monster. But, who is Luke P., really-and can he redeem himself before it's too late to capture Hannah's heart and make it to the finale and snag that coveted final rose? In fact, who is Luke P., really? Let's recap his story.

Hannah was so smitten by Luke P., she gave him the coveted first-impression rose on episode one of The Bachelorette. The feeling was mutual, and he noticed her beautiful green eyes right away. On his Instagram stories he said, "The eye contact was the first thing." But even before they met, Luke P. was attracted to Hannah when she proclaimed her faith on Colton's season.

Luke P. didn't waste any time connecting with Hannah. He used the L-word (gasp!) on a group date during the second episode. Hannah asked for bold, but woah! They'd barely spent an hour alone together at this point. Hannah said it best, "slow your roll."

Whether it's a cocktail party or a group date, Luke P. doesn't back down and is always trying to get Hannah's attention on this season of The Bachlorette. Naturally, Hannah included him on a group date with a rugby game. Luke P. shined, sprinting across the field, but then his aggressive style crossed the line. Seemingly out of nowhere, he body-slammed fellow contestant Luke S. Physically, both of Hannah's suitors were fine, but the drama was out of control and Hannah was not happy about it. Luke admitted on Instagram that, "Im the first to admit I am far from perfect."

The day Luke P. had been waiting for finally came, a one-on-one date with The Bachelorette. Though there's nobody around to interrupt or steal attention, the two still couldn't manage to communicate. It got so bad, Hannah asked the producers for help trying to crack Luke P. "Today was the worst a date has gone for me," she said. Yikes!

According to his LinkedIn profile, his main job is entrepreneur. However, his bio on The Bachelorette website pegs him as an Import / Export Manager. His LinkedIn profile also notes CrossFit as a part-time job. He's also described CrossFit as his "getaway" in Instagram captions.
