Alexander Ellert

Alexander Ellert is the winner of season 1 of “The Bachelor.” After the project, he and Ksenia Mishina tried to build a relationship, but in July 2021, the star of the series “Kriposna” announced that they had broken up.

When the Russian full-scale invasion began, the comedian was still in Ukraine for some time, but later moved to the United States, where he still lives and builds his career. In March, Ellert is going on a Russian-language tour of Europe.

Interestingly, there are two Ukrainian cities on the bill. Oleksandr “plans” to perform in occupied Donetsk on April 31 (April 30), and in Kyiv on April 1 (April Fool's Day). There are no tickets for these cities on the website. It is obvious that the winner of “The Bachelor” decided to make a joke, but his joke was not very appreciated on the Internet.

It is worth noting that many viewers like the format of “The Bachelor” more than “The Bachelor”, so they are waiting for the new season of the project.

In 2025, the constant host of the reality show, Hryhoriy Reshetnyk, admitted that he misses “The Bachelor” and shared that he hopes the project will be revived in 2026. However, there is currently no information about this.
