I’m so excited! The Golden Bachelor is about to start, and everyone’s talking about who will win Barry ‘Bear’ Myrden’s heart in the end. I can’t wait to see who gets the final rose!
The 61-year-old actor, known as the ‘silver fox,’ showed his friendly side on Thursday by warmly greeting a publicist at a meeting.
The handsome star was seen giving Niki White a friendly peck on the lips.
Niki works as a publicist for the TV show *The Golden Bachelor*, collaborating with both Warner Bros. and Channel Nine.
The kiss was completely innocent, proving Barry’s quest for love is the real deal.
In the photos, Niki, wearing a light blue summer dress, playfully pulled Barry in for a hug by holding his shoulders.
Holding a takeaway coffee in one hand, Barry leaned in to return the gesture.
While out together, the two were spotted talking and walking along the sidewalk, and Barry took a phone call at one point.
The bachelor, who was born in Canada and now lives in Sydney, looked stylish in a dark blue shirt and cream pants, finishing the outfit with blue sandals.
Niki meanwhile accessorised her dress with a pair of tan strappy heels and delicate jewellery.
She wore her hair out and enhanced her complexion with light makeup.
Niki manages and founded NikStar, an agency that focuses on publicity, events, talent representation, and connecting brands with talent.
I’m a big fan, and it’s amazing to see how many incredible people trust her! She works with some seriously famous faces – athletes like Sam Kerr and Caitlin Foord, and even well-known media personalities like Richard Wilkins and Mel McLaughlin. It really speaks to her skill and dedication.
She’s a publicity expert who’s worked on high-profile events such as the TV WEEK Logies, the AACTA Awards, and major movie premieres.
The sighting comes after Barry hinted at who will receive his final rose on the show.
‘All I can tell you is, I made the right decision.’
Honestly, it’s so endearing to hear him talk about the women on the show! He admitted it was *really* hard to send anyone home – he actually said he wished he could have kept all twenty of them! You can tell he genuinely thinks they’re all amazing, and it just makes you like him even more, knowing he struggles with those decisions.
One of the contestants is Bianca Dye, a well-known TV and radio personality who’s been on the air for many years. She’s 51 years old.
She currently co-hosts a breakfast show on Queensland’s Sea FM 90.9.
I’m keeping an eye on Lauren George, a contestant from Queensland! She was spotted heading onto set looking absolutely fabulous – hair rollers and full makeup, the works! It seems she’s ready to make a statement, and I’m excited to see what she brings to the competition.
People close to Bear believe he’s now open to finding love, after his friends and family have been gently encouraging him for years.
A friend told Daily Mail Australia that Bear often complains his sons think the women he’s dating are too young and attractive for him.
We always joked he’d be perfect for a reality show like Married at First Sight, so it’s not shocking to see him being considered for The Bachelor.
The latest season of the dating show aims for a more genuine and emotional connection, with host Bear sharing his own experiences with love and heartbreak.
‘He’s not your usual reality TV type,’ an insider said.
He’s a captivating and thoughtful man who has experienced a lot in life. Having known both joy and hardship, he’s now eager to find love again, and many women will likely be drawn to him.
The American show, The Golden Bachelor, has been incredibly popular, and viewers in Australia have been eagerly asking for their own version since it first aired.
There’s been talk that Barry wasn’t the original pick to star in The Golden Bachelor, and that he took over after the first choice dropped out.
Barry confirmed he had been approached multiple times before finally agreeing to do the show.
He confessed he initially turned it down, possibly even twice! But he really believes in seizing the moment – he says you only live once, and it’s *never* too late to find someone special. It really resonated with me, knowing he felt that way.
The widower admitted he developed feelings for one of the contestants on the show. He also playfully confessed he was attracted to the host, Samantha Armytage, saying he wished he could have given her a rose.
The Golden Bachelor will premiere Monday, October 20 at 7.30pm on Channel Nine.
