And now, several of the men who introduced Katie to their families have been disclosed nearly three weeks after production wrapped on Season 17 of The Bachelorette, which is scheduled to premiere Monday, June 7 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
Three of Katie's Final 4 bachelors are Blake Moynes, a 29-year-old wildlife manager from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada; Greg Grippo, a 27-year-old from Edison, NJ; and John Hersey, a 27-year-old from Santa Cruz, CA, according to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone.
"Those 3 I know," Carbone wrote in a May 13 blog posting.
"I'm not sure who the 4th guy is in the Final 4 yet. I've heard names but nothing I'm confident about. Those three I am."
Blake will be a familiar face for viewers considering he had competed on Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams' season of The Bachelorette last year.
After Clare ended her journey to find love prematurely because she had fallen in love with Dale Moss, Tayshia took over the reins and then eliminated Blake in the process of determining her Final 4 suitors.
Blake was sent packing around the same time Tayshia had chosen to eliminate Bennett Jordan, Noah Erb and Riley Christian as well.
Greg Grippo reportedly made a big impression on Katie right away and received her coveted First Impression Rose.

ABC had announced Katie's cast of 34 potential bachelors just a few days before filming began on March 22.
Katie's entire season reportedly taped at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico, where cast and crew were required to quarantine and follow COVID-19 safety measures.
Katie's The Bachelorette season wrapped filming unexpectedly early and "ahead of schedule" on April 24, according to an Us Weekly source, because "Katie was "in control" and decisive over the men she wanted to date or send packing.
After filming The Bachelorette, Katie returned to Instagram on April 28 and hinted at how she started "a healthy relationship."
Season 17 of The Bachelorette will be co-hosted by Tayshia and fellow former The Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe, who will be filling in for Chris Harrison after he "stepped aside" from his hosting duties to educate himself on how to be anti-racist.
Chris came under fire during Matt's The Bachelor season after he defended Season 25 contestant Rachael Kirkconnell's racially-ignorant and racially-insensitive actions in the last several years during a controversial interview he had with Extra's Rachel Lindsay, who starred as the first Black Bachelorette.
