Bachelor Nation fans fell in love with Joan Vassos on Season 1 of “The Golden Bachelor” before her time on the show was cut short due to a medical concern with her daughter.
Now, Joan will begin her own journey to look for love as she steps into the historic role as the first ever Golden Bachelorette.
The 61-year-old grandmother and school administrator from Rockland, Maryland, will bring her signature grace and charm as she looks for love on-screen once again.
As fans know, Joan is an extremely resilient woman who tragically lost her husband of 32 years to pancreatic cancer.

On the “Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour” podcast, she expressed her readiness to find love again and how her time on “The Golden Bachelor” made her realize that her heart was open.
In the press release from ABC, Joan shared, “As she steps into the golden spotlight and begins her journey to seek love once more, Joan envisions a future filled with shared moments by the beach and cherished time with family.”
We can’t wait to watch Joan’s journey unfold Wednesday nights on ABC this fall and as always, the episodes will stream later on Hulu.
Cheers to Joan’s Golden love story!
