Meet The Vow’s lead Jace Cates, who surprisingly works as a mortgage advisor
I can't believe he actually seems like a completely normal guy
Chris Harrison is officially back in the dating show game, and the man he’s trying to marry off is Jace Cates. Chris Harrison’s The Vow premiered on Fox Nation on Wednesday 11th November, with Jace dating 10 women who all say they’re ready to walk down the aisle.
It’s the former Bachelor host’s first dating show since he left the franchise in 2021, and from the mansion to the tux, the resemblance is hard to miss. So who is Jace Cates, and what do we actually know about The Vow’s leading man?
How old is Jace Cates and where is he from?

Jace is 30 years old and comes from Oregon. Unlike plenty of dating show leads who swap their hometown for LA the second they get a sniff of fame, he still lives in his home state. The show itself was filmed in Austin, Texas, so Jace has had to leave Oregon behind for this one.
What does Jace Cates do for a living?
Jace has a seriously sensible day job. He’s a loan officer for Guild Mortgage, and he’s been working there since January 2022.
Mortgages aren’t a new thing for him either.
Back in 2019, he posted on Instagram about working at Advantage Mortgage and how much he loved helping people buy their own homes. So if any of the women want a man with a stable career and a solid grasp of interest rates, they’ve come to the right place.

In a word, a wife. The Vow is all about couples with shared values, and faith is a massive part of it. Jace describes himself as a Christian on his Instagram, and the trailer even shows him leading the women in a prayer.
The show runs over six episodes and puts Jace and the women through dates and real-world compatibility challenges, testing everything from communication to long-term goals. Chris has called it “the most authentic, real dating show that I think has ever been created”, which is quite the claim from the man who spent nearly two decades handing out roses.
As for Jace, he keeps things short and sweet in the trailer: “My name is Jace. I’m 30 years old, and I’m here to find love.”
