They’ve never met, but "Diet Tribe"’s hunky trainer Jessie Pavelka and Jake Pavelka, the hot new "Bachelor," are distant cousins.
"My dad explained it to me," Jessie tells ET, but also admits he doesn’t quite remember how the family tree grows. "My dad met his dad, but I never knew him growing up. I went to college in the same town where he grew up, but I have never spoken to him."
Even so, Jessie says he thinks it is great that Jake is going to be "The Bachelor."
