Say what you like about Jarrod, but don't say he didn't do anything and everything to try to win over Sophie Monk on The Bachelorette.
"To this day, I still have feelings for Sophie. I will for a long time, she'll always have a place in my heart," Jarrod told marie claire the day after the finale aired.
Seeing a heartbroken Jarrod walking down the beach was hard for everyone to watch.
"I was gonna jump in [the ocean], with the mic on, and just keep walking," he revealed today.
Following rumours of Sophie and Stu's rocky post-show relationship, Jarrod said he would "definitely" take her back.
"The feelings are still there, Sophie and I had something real," he said on The Project. The connection we had and the emotions we grew over time - what people don't see behind the scenes is what we've actually achieved together."
