Fans across Bachelor Nation were shocked and divided when The Bachelorette season 16 contestant Noah Erb shaved off his signature mustache, and it would seem that Noah has been missing his bushy buddy. The former contestant recently took to Instagram to spotlight his glorious new mustache, garnering likes and love from fans and former cast mates alike.
From the start of his stint on The Bachelorette, the travel nurse from Tulsa, Oklahoma, quickly connected with Tayshia, even though at first she thought he could be “trouble.” But although his relationship with Tayshia was solid, it wasn’t always smooth sailing between Noah and the other cast members. During a wrestling match group date that he was not officially on, Noah surprised everyone when he jumped a fence into the ring to face off against fellow contestant Chasen Nick. Chasen may have won his match against Noah, but the stunt paid off. Noah’s bold move impressed Tayshia but irked the rest of the men, especially after Tayshia invited Noah to join the group on the night-time portion of the date. Later that evening during some one-on-one time, Tayshia confessed that though she liked Noah, she wasn’t on board with his distinctive facial hair, and convinced Noah to let her shave off his beloved ‘stache. Noah ultimately went home just before hometown week, but he has since become a favorite among Bachelor Nation fans.
Since the season wrapped, Noah has returned to his career as a travel nurse, assisting in COVID ICUs across the country, most recently in Denver, Colorado. All the while he has been slowly growing out his mustache, and now his fuzzy friend is back and better than ever. In a new Instagram post, Noah shows off his bushy ‘stache, asserting that “one woman’s trash is another mans treasure.”
Although Tayshia wasn’t a fan of it, Noah’s new mustache is seeing plenty of love in the comments section, most notably from some of his fellow castmates. “That stache is splendid 🔥,” Chasen Nick commented. “Thank you good sir, don’t forget how it felt on the wrestling mat (still think I got robbed that victory but you deserve the belt),” Noah responded, referencing their wrestling match. And the love didn’t stop there. After one fan claimed that Noah was the best man to come out of The Bachelorette franchise, Noah replied, “idk there are a lot of good ones 😅 you ever seen @rileydchristian?” giving a shout out to fellow castmate Riley Christian. “hahaha don’t gas me up man! It’s all you 😅⛽️⛽️,” Riley countered, to which Noah doubled down, asserting, “you’re driving in a car that doesn’t need gas my dude 😤.”
With all the camaraderie going on in the comments section, it would seem that any animosity between the three was left back at La Quinta (though Bennett Jordan has yet to weigh in). Now that Noah has his signature look back in place and Bachelor in Paradise is set to return this summer, The Bachelorette alum is primed to start a whole new chapter in his life, hopefully finding a partner who will love Noah’s ‘stache as much as he does.
