Underwood was also the lead on "The Bachelor" in 2019. Bristowe starred on "The Bachelorette" in 2015 before going on to host the show for two seasons in 2021.

What to know about 'Are You My First?' hosts Colton Underwood and Kaitlyn Bristowe
The hosts of "Are You My First?" are no strangers to looking for love on TV.
Underwood and Bristowe are both respective former leads of "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette."
Bristowe got engaged to Shawn Booth on her season, but the pair ultimately called it off after three years. She was later engaged to Jason Tartick, who appeared on Becca Kufrin's season of "The Bachelorette," but they split in 2023.
Underwood was the lead on "The Bachelor" in 2019, where he left in a relationship with Cassie Randolph. The couple later split, and Randolph filed a restraining order against Underwood in 2020.

Virgins are having a moment on dating shows
"Are You My First?" is not the first dating show to feature virgins.
In June, TLC premiered its new show "Virgins," which stars four so-called late bloomers ranging in age from 34-42 as they look to have sex for the first time.
Unlike "Are You My First?," TLC's "Virgins" doesn't include competitions, rather following four cast members "stepping outside their comfort zones and taking big swings to finally go all the way," according to a release.
