Joan Vassos’ golden years are about to be filled with golden opportunities—24 to be exact.
The men lined up to vie for the 61-year-old’s heart in the first-ever season of The Golden Bachelorette have been announced, and this sneak peek promises the spinoff to be as heartwarming a season as Gerry Turner’s.
As 68-year-old Bill, a retired videographer, tells the camera, “Just because you’re older, doesn’t mean it’s over.”
It’s a sentiment his fellow contestant Keith, a 62-year-old self-identified “girl dad” from San Jose, affirms.
“There’s nothing we can’t do that another age group can’t do,” he notes, before quipping, “But might have a new hip in there.”
And among the 24 men is one who will be a somewhat familiar face for dedicated Bachelor Nation fans: Kelsey Anderson’s dad Mark, 57, is hoping for a second chance at finding love.
“I watched The Golden Bachelor,” Mark, an army veteran, says to cameras. “And it was very inspiring.”
As he continues, “Knowing that Joan lost her husband, there’s an understanding I have of things that she went through.”
