Former 'Bachelor' Juan Pablo hangs out at Royals Spring Training, is crashing with Salvador Perez

And he's good friends with several current players, even serving as a representative of the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame. Seriously.

While he doesn't have a favorite team, he most often cheers for the players from Venezuela. "I always root for them," he says. "It's tough when there is a pitcher and hitter from Venezuela facing each other. Then I root for a hit, and then a double play."

"Oh, yeah. We call. We text. We're still very good friends. She's a big Royals fan. We went to some games last year there, including the Wild Card game. That was fun."
