As I delve into the captivating tale of Joan Vassos, a woman who has weathered the storms of love and life with grace and resilience, I am struck by her indomitable spirit. Her journey, marked by loss, love, and loyalty, is a testament to the power of determination and the importance of family.


Last year, when Joan Vassos competed for Gerry Turner’s affection on The Golden Bachelor, she experienced the unsavory aspect of fame following her win. This was manifested in an influx of unusual private messages that she received afterward.

‘I got d*** pics,’ the 61-year-old widow revealed in her EW cover story on Wednesday.

Additionally, I had individuals with a foot fetish approach me, requesting photos of my feet and even willing to pay for them. One individual proposed purchasing every pair of shoes I wore during The Bachelorette, which was quite unsettling. My children reacted swiftly, demanding my phone and blocking these contacts, stating, “We’re not having this on our device, Mom.”

Apart from being on The Golden Bachelor, April Kirkwood wasn’t solitary, as she received an unusual proposition from a man and his spouse, who asked her for a threesome. Previously, she expressed her surprise about the situation to EW, stating, “I was taken aback. They wanted to join me.”

As an over-the-moon fan, let me share an intriguing tale: Leslie Fhima, the charismatic contestant from The Golden Bachelor, reminisced about a direct message she received from a man proposing to be her “sugar daddy,” detailing all he’d cover the costs of. Believe it or not, I receive more advances from younger men than those my own age!

73-year-old Gerry mentioned to TMZ back in June that many women, both in person at places like wineries, and online via Instagram messages, have offered him their phone numbers. However, he’s been careful about engaging with women who initiate contact with him.

Fortunately, ABC selected Joan as the lead for the debut season of The Golden Bachelorette, set to air on ABC starting September 18, offering her a selection of 24 eligible gentlemen.

A diverse group of silver foxes, aged between 57 and 69, can be found among them. Their professions span various fields such as chiropractic care, education, insurance management, construction, ranching, emergency room medicine, catering, hair salon ownership, and firefighting (FDNY chief).

‘I’m very picky about a man being a gentleman,’ Vassos said in the July 29th promo.

‘Somebody with a big heart, somebody who is generous and also somebody who’s humble.’

As a devoted admirer, I find myself compelled to share the tale of Turner and his beloved, Theresa Nist. Despite the enchanting three-month honeymoon phase they experienced, their marriage crumbled after eight months together, owing to an irreconcilable difference – her deep-rooted attachment to New Jersey and his equally strong bond with Indiana.

Joan made it clear from the start that she has no intention of hastily entering into a marriage or moving away, as her deep connection with her Rockville, MD house is unbreakable due to her four children and two grandchildren being her top priority.

The interior designer from Metropolitan Interiors LLC expressed that she doesn’t prefer someone who feels the need to move. If a person can easily relocate their entire life, they likely aren’t compatible with her.

Perhaps blending our lives together at some point in the future for a while – be it weeks or months. I prefer to take things slow and enjoy the journey. I no longer feel pressured by a biological clock, so there’s no need to rush. My life is already full and rich. The process of combining our lives takes time, but if there’s genuine love, then it’s definitely worth it.

Vassos left ‘The Golden Bachelor’ in the third week, choosing instead to support his daughter Erica Hiken who was dealing with postpartum depression after giving birth to Hartley Grace Hiken.

In her 32-year marriage to husband John, who tragically lost his life to pancreatic cancer in 2021, the Family Feud contestant finds the most joy at the beach with her family.

Currently, Joan is employed full-time in the field of alumni relations at The Landon School, an all-boys institution located in Bethesda, Maryland. Additionally, she works part-time as a special projects consultant for the Association of Independent Schools of Greater Washington. This information is based on her LinkedIn profile.

Fans of Bachelor Nation demonstrate an exceptional level of enthusiasm and dedication, even though the success rate for long-lasting relationships among contestants on the series is relatively low.

Among the 28 past seasons of The Bachelor, just four couples, such as Sean and Catherine Lowe (from season 17), have remained together.

Among the 20 seasons of The Bachelorette, there are four couples who have managed to stay together, such as Ryan and Trista Sutter from the very first season.

It’s quite remarkable that Bachelor in Paradise, among all its franchises, has the highest rate of success, with 10 couples still together following nine seasons.
