Even though she's no longer dating his best friend, Matt James remains adorably invested in Hannah Brown's love life.

The current star of The Bachelor was a guest on the Almost Famous podcast on Thursday, Feb. 4, where he told hosts Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon that he made sure to check in with Hannah for advice about becoming the show's lead. He also added that he more than approves of the former Bachelorette's new boyfriend, model Adam Woolard.
