DEAR BISHOP, a new audio original written and read by former professional football player and television personality, COLTON UNDERWOOD.

Throughout his life, Colton was chasing perfection. He wanted to be the most decorated student athlete. The best professional football player. The beloved lead on The Bachelor. But even as he found success, he knew in his heart that he wasn’t being honest with himself. When Colton finally found his way to living openly as a gay man, he knew that his journey was not about following his ambition. It was a search for self-love and acceptance. 
 
Last fall, Colton and his husband welcomed home their son, Bishop, and their lives were forever changed. Nobody could have warned Colton about the new kind of love that filled their home. It was instant and all-encompassing, built on the foundation of self-love that Colton cultivated for himself as he worked through his own obstacles. 
 
As Bishop approaches a year old, Colton wants to reflect on this experience of new fatherhood in the form of DEAR BISHOP, an audio letter about his son’s first year of life and the path that led him there. From football to fame. Dating shows and diapers. DEAR BISHOP is not only a deeply emotional account of Colton’s life, but a tribute to the universal message that love makes a family. While the piece is incredibly personal, Colton aims to reach parents within the LGBTQ+ community through his story that expands the typical narrative surrounding parenthood.
