Juan Pablo Galavis admits reason he ‘made a pass’ at Katy Perry during daughter Camila’s American Idol audition
FORMER The Bachelor star Juan Pablo Galavis has revealed the reason he made a pass at Katy Perry during his daughter Camila's American Idol audition.
In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, Juan Pablo, 42, spoke about his daughter's experience while auditioning for American Idol and touched on his flirty on-camera moment.
Last month, The Bachelor alum briefly appeared on American Idol while his daughter Camila Galavis, 15, sang Rabia by Joaquina in front of Katy 39, Lionel Richie, 74, and Luke Bryan, 47.
"I liked them all," Juan Pablo told The U.S. Sun when asked who was his favorite judge.
"[I] met Luke in 2014 at NASCAR and it was great seeing him again."
The ex reality TV star said that none of the judges rubbed him the wrong way but when asked about his questioning if Katy was single and whether or not he had a crush on her, Juan Pablo had a confession to make.
"Everybody knows she is engaged to Orlando Bloom," he responded.
"She is great and I just joke around with her and the other judges."
The social media manager is an American-born Venezuelan TV personality who starred in Season 18 of The Bachelor.
He was the first Latino lead of the long-running reality dating series.
During the audition introductions, Katy asked if Camila came from a "musical family" to which she confessed, "No," before explaining that her dad is a manager in the social media industry "because he was on The Bachelor."
Lionel looked surprised as Katy curiously asked, "The TV show? On ABC? Who is your dad?"
"Juan Pablo Galavis," Camila proudly replied.
The famous singer repeated the TV star's name before inquiring, "Did your dad meet someone on the show?"
Camila explained that her father met someone but they later broke up.
Juan Pablo chose contestant Nikki Ferrell but the couple ended their relationship in October 2014.
"So he's single?" Katy followed, to which Camila happily replied, "Yeah."
Familiar with The Bachelor star, Luke added, "He's dreamy."
The former professional soccer would later join his daughter on stage, and while meeting Katy, the Idol judge would repeat her earlier inquiry.
"You're single?" she asked while shaking his hand and as Juan leaned down to kiss the sitting Katy on the cheek he questioned, "You too?"
He quickly answered his own question and stated, "No, I know you're not."
FAN REACTIONS
The episode clip of Juan Pablo accompanying Camila was posted on the American Idol Instagram account.
"Katy took this single thing personally," one person wrote in the comment section.
"Wonder what her hubby would say?" asked another.
"That’s funny. Orlando Bloom wouldn’t like it..." another wondered.
Elsewhere in the comment thread, fans congratulated Camila on making it to the next round.
"I can't believe that she is already 14! She sings like an angel! So talented! Beautiful to see Juan Pablo watching her so emotional," a viewer gushed.
"Judges see her potential, dad’s charm helped I think," added another.
Juan then commented, "Thank you Lionel, Katy, and Luke for all the great advice you gave my daughter Camila.
"Appreciate the honesty, that I know will help all the participants push themselves to become better. Luke, you were on point, Gracias!!!"
