Aaron Erb made headlines for his connection to a fellow Bachelor Nation member even before he stepped out of the limo on night one of Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette.
Aaron’s twin brother, Noah Erb, previously vied for the affections of Tayshia Adams on season 16 before finding love with Bachelor in Paradise season 7 costar Abigail Heringer, whom he popped the question to in August 2023.
When it comes to finding The One on the franchise, Aaron noted that “it did work” for his brother.
“So I’m hoping it’ll work for me,” Aaron said in his intro package, which aired during the premiere of Jenn’s season in July 2024. “When you feel comfortable, and you feel like, ‘Hey, there’s nothing in life we want more than this,’ that’s when I’m like, ‘Yeah, let’s do it.’”

Aaron Cold Plunges Daily
Aaron has frequently uploaded videos of his daily cold plunges in his pool, which he began to “develop discipline.” In January 2024, Aaron addressed criticism that his clips were “thirst-trappy,” since he doesn’t wear a shirt while hopping in the water.
“Typically I would just let those things slide because I’m 29, I’ve heard it all,” he said via Instagram. “But for some reason [it] just, like, struck a nerve ‘cause it’s been something that I feel like I’ve experienced most of my life is like a judgemental attitude toward anything I do. There’s a little bit of trauma from a previous relationship and things like that, but I’m just annoyed because I feel like it’s a mischaracterization of who I am as a person and the things I care about.”
Aaron noted that “deep down” he wants to help people. “I’m just a guy. I have feelings. I struggle with people pleasing and wanting to make everyone happy,” he admitted.
