ABC's "The Bachelor 14: On the Wings of Love" will feature Jake Pavelka from "The Bachelorette 5" as its star bachelor.

Jake Pavelka is out to prove on ABC's "The Bachelor" Season 14 that nice guys don't always finish last in love. The handsome commercial pilot from Dallas—and America's most hopeful romantic—will star in his own bid for true love, choosing from among 25 bachelorettes, when "The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love" premieres on ABC in January 2010. This will be the 14th edition of ABC's hit romance reality series.

Ever since Jake, 31, shared a magical one-on-one date with Bachelorette Jillian Harris to see Martina McBride, millions of women have had their "Top Gun" fantasies about him. A fan favorite for his reputation as an honest guy with an open heart—not to mention his good looks—viewers were stunned when Jillian rejected Jake right before the hometown dates on "The Bachelorette 5." But women were drawn to him even more when Jake returned of his own accord in the next episode to protect Jillian from men who were not there for the right reasons. Jake—who already knew Jillian would not take him back—freely shared and showed his emotions, and that's when the requests for Jake to be "The Bachelor" on Season 14 started to pour in.

Jake's fairytale-like experience falling for Jillian made him confident that he can find the love of his life on ABC's "The Bachelor 14." Now, it's his time. Jake knows himself well enough to know that he's not made to live alone. He just needs to find the right woman—his best friend and soul mate—and that's whom he'll marry. Searching for a woman who is intelligent, confident, energetic and spontaneous on ABC's "The Bachelor 14," he admits that he can't wait for fatherhood.

Hosted by Chris Harrison, ABC's "The Bachelor 14: On the Wings of Love" is produced by Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television. Mike Fleiss and Martin Hilton are the executive producers of ABC's "The Bachelor 14."
