Per Page Six, Wilson is the host of a new show that will see him romancing famous women — Welch being one of them.
The premise is for the bachelor to challenge women to date challenges as they discuss being single in the public radar.
It will be available on Complex’s YouTube channel and has the clever title West Date Ever.
‘The dates are kind of gimmicky and cute, and there’s food and games and all that kind of stuff.
‘It’s kind of just getting to know more about them and what dating with a spotlight on you is like,’ Wilson explained to the publication.
He noted that doing the show was helpful with his dating life because he could ‘relate to things both good and bad’ with the contenders.
West added: ‘No one knows what the right thing to do is, and people are learning day by day. I think that’s something that I’ve picked up on — we think everyone knows exactly what they’re doing, but none of us actually do.’
He reiterated that each person he’s met has endured ‘trial and error’ as they’re ‘trying to figure things out and learn as we go.’

Welch shares in the upcoming episode that her boat outing with Wilson was ‘one of the best dates’ she’s been on, calling him a ‘real nice guy.’
She added that he ‘genuinely wants to get to know you.’
‘I’m just excited to dip my toes into something new, which I love to do, and I’m just really excited about this, and hopefully, people like it,’ West stated about the new series, which premiered Thursday afternoon.
About his fishing date with Haliey, he said, ‘It was fun going on a little day date with Haliey. She got thrown into the spotlight almost against her will, so I wanted to make sure she knew I wasn’t there to beat her viral meme over everyone’s heads.
‘Everyone has a story and I wanted to get to know more about her and help her leave “Hawk Tuah” in the past, you know?’

West was previously romantically involved with his Summer House co-star Ciara Miller, 28.
After striking a romance in summer 2023, they dated into the fall season before splitting in December.
During part two of the reunion this past June, Wilson took responsibility for the end to their romance.
At the time, he shared, ‘Ciara might regret our relationship and the however-month journey we had but I don’t.’
He added, ‘I apologize for — obviously — hurting you and I don’t want you to… you said you “got got” earlier tonight and I don’t love hearing that.
‘But my feelings were genuine. I think I just expressed myself maybe after it was too late to figure things out. But I’m sorry overall for hurting you and it’s obviously still painful. I mean, it’s painful for me too. It’s my fault.’
