Alex Bordyukov – better known as Alex Bordy – was a contestant on Rachel’s season of The Bachelorette US, and while he failed to win her heart he did win the vote for Best Dressed of the series!
The American stud is ready to try his hand at the game of love once more after signing on for the 2019 season of Bachelor in Paradise.
Bordy is the only non-Australian among the cast of Network Ten‘s hit spin off, and the 31-year-old is sure to make major waves on the beach in Fiji.
Glamour magazine likened Bordy’s physique to Beauty and the Beast’s Gaston and his personality to Belle!
The tall, dark and handsome reality star works in information systems management in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan and also models part-time, but hasn’t yet been lucky enough to find ‘The One’ just yet.
Bordy comes from a Russian background and still has family living in a rural village there.
In an interview with America’s ABC network, Alex described his best traits as being “adaptable, logical and fun” but also admitted he can be “selfish, unemotional and unapologetic”.

The most adventurous thing the 6 foot 2 fitness fanatic has ever done is “eating a live salamander” and references Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson as his favourite celebrity.
Alex prefers a woman who “pursues him, an aggressive go-getter type” – so it’ll be interesting to see who he clicks with on Bachelor in Paradise!
