Joan Vassos e. Joan, 61, was a past contestant on the and competed for Gerry Turner's heart. Their love was short lived when .

The Golden Bachelorette was married to her late husband for 32 years but in January 2021. Now she's back for more, and in a starring role, ready to find her lover from 24 eligible bachelors. Viewers at home will see Joan bond with men who range from from 57 to 69 years old starting on Wednesday, September 18 and it looks like her experience as the Golden Bachelorette did not dissapoint.



In an interview with , Joan spoke about her experience meeting the 24 men, their bond and what it was like to see the men go through what she did on Gerry's season. Joan said: "I thought they were going to get together and talk about their golf game and how their baseball teams were doing. And that was so far from the truth.

They talked about dating and they talked about their families. They talked about being single fathers and about being girl dads." She continued: "And they were so vulnerable and so incredibly supportive of each other, like they had known each other for their whole lives.

They were best friends instantly. They were a lot more open, a lot more vulnerable, and a lot more like us women when we were entered the mansion. I felt like we were instant friends.

That surprised me about them." One of those competing for Joan's heart was Kelsey Anderson's father, Mark. He stole America's heart when he was introduced during Kelsey's hometowns on The Bachelor.

She is now engaged to Joey Graziadei. The Golden Bachelorette added that because the process have failed for some like Jenn Tran from The Bachelorette and Gerry, called off his divorce with season winner Theresa Nist, does not mean some should give up on love. She explained how every experience would be different but her's "ended exactly like it should.

" She said: "I can say I have an original ending and it ended exactly like it should,” she teased. “I’m in the right place.”.
