The Golden Bachelorette cast includes the father of a very famous member of Bachelor Nation – who will vie against 23 other seniors for Joan Vassos’ heart
As I delve into the lives of these six gentlemen, each with their unique backgrounds and passions, it is evident that they have lived rich, diverse, and fulfilling lives.
The Golden Bachelorette cast will include at least one familiar face vying for Joan Vassos’ heart.
Fans of The Bachelor might recall Kelsey Anderson’s father, Mark, from his ‘Kelsey’s Attractive Dad’ fame last year when he made an appearance during Kelsey’s hometown date. This year, you can catch him among the 24 potential suitors vying for love on season one of The Golden Bachelorette.
He captured hearts while telling Kelsey that he just wanted her to find ‘that feeling’ he had with her mother, who passed away in 2018 after a battle with breast cancer.
Following the broadcast, people rushed to social media to champion him as a potential Golden Bachelor or an ideal partner for Vassos, who unexpectedly left Gerry Turner’s season of The Golden Bachelor earlier due to a health issue involving his daughter.
In the end, Kelsey accepted a proposal from her fiancé Joey Graziadei during the show, and she’s excited about him exploring love on reality TV just as she did.
In June, the junior project manager, 26, teased that she hoped her dad would ‘get out there.’
She openly stated on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast, “I wish for my father to find companionship again, as I believe that’s something my mother would have wanted for him.”
She went on saying, “‘Someone else is what I need, another love is what I seek,’ my mom often told me before her illness. She had a premonition that she would leave him before her time.”
On Monday, ABC released a list of all 24 of Vassos’ suitors, ranging in age from 57 to 69.
Vassos marks the first lead of ABC’s new female-fronted spin-off of Golden Bachelor.
In May, Vassos was first tapped as the very first Golden Bachelorette.
Joann, a long-time administrator at a private school in Rockville, Maryland, spent 32 years married to her husband John before he passed away in 2021 after fighting pancreatic cancer. Together, they raised four children and now Joann is also a proud grandmother of two.
Joan’s season will air Wednesdays this fall, starting on September 18, 2024.
