As the Golden Bachelorette, Joan Vassos, prepares to embark on her adventure next month, the lineup of men vying for her heart has been revealed! The 61-year-old school administrator previously made her debut on The Golden Bachelor in an attempt to win Gerry Turner’s heart, but her journey was cut short due to a family obligation. On the show, she confessed to the 72-year-old bachelor, “My family will always be first. Once you become a mom, you’re always a mom, even when your kids are older. Nothing is more important.”
Now, Joan is getting a second chance at love— this time, for real. She will have 24 eligible and well-qualified men, ranging in age from 57 to 69, competing for her heart. Hollywood Life has rounded up the men competing for the Golden Bachelorette’s heart:

The Return of Kelsey Anderson’s Dad
Kelsey Anderson was the lucky woman who won over former Bachelor season 28 lead, Joey Graziadei. During her time on the show, viewers were introduced to her father, Mark Anderson, who became a widower after his wife passed away from breast cancer in 2018. He went viral for being seen as a “hot dad,” and now he will make his return to the Bachelor franchise as a contestant on Joan’s season.
