It was the split heard 'round the world: Chris Harrison, host of "The Bachelor", announced on Thursday he is getting a divorce.

After 18 years of marriage, Harrison confirmed that he and his wife Gwen are officially splitting:

"Though we have made this incredibly difficult decision to separate, our love and mutual respect remain, and we look forward to sharing in the lives of our wonderful children."

18 years is a long time -- in fact, an eternity in "Bachelor" terms. Despite playing matchmaker to literally hundreds (!) of uber bronzed, publicity-loving, good ol' American kids on "The Bachelor" franchise for ten years, we gather Chris is a little rusty in the dating department. How will our favorite TV host fair as a bachelor himself?

Luckily, he's got the look down pat. Here are his top five style qualities that make Chris the most eligible bachelor this side of ABC primetime. Perhaps we will see Harrison giving out his own final rose someday soon?
