'Bachelor' Colton Underwood says he had a low sperm count. Here's what that means.

Colton Underwood, the former professional football player and star of The Bachelor, is opening up about his fertility journey with husband Jordan C. Brown-Underwood, including his issues with sperm count. In a recent interview with Parents, Underwood, who came out as gay in 2021, says his “ego took a hit” when he learned that his sperm count was so low he was considered “technically infertile.”

“We were going to give our sample and freeze our sperm — day one of starting our family — and I got my sperm results back, and I had four sperm,” the reality star told the parenting outlet. “Three of them were dead. One was barely moving in my sample. It was one of those things where [I was basically] considered technically infertile. I was like, ‘This sucks. This is hard.’”
