“My mom was really nervous,” Leroux says, joking, “she’s a nervous wreck to begin with.”

Telling us he’s not good at the “breaking up” part, Leroux explains that along with having to go through the “rough” aspect of letting people go, he also let go of any and all plans he had going in.
“I’m not good at handling drama,” Leroux shares, keeping mum on whether or not the season will see its fair share.
“I’ve never been in situations like this before,” he says. “And I’ve been playing sports my whole life and this whole love… television… this is just totally new to me.”
