Barbara Alyn Woods might've exchanged a rose for her glass slipper. One week after Kelsey Anderson' s dad Mark Anderson was eliminated from The Golden Bachelorette , he and the One Tree Hill alum sparked romance rumors thanks to an adorable couple's costume. Barbara—who portrayed Deb Scott on the beloved TV series—shared a snap dressed as Cinderella with Mark as Prince Charming standing behind her daughter Natalie Alyn Lind , 24, dressed as Baby Yoda.
And Barbara cheekily captioned the Oct. 26 Instagram post, "When Cinderella and Prince Charming have a baby..
." With Mark's departure from the reality TV shows, fans quickly gushed over the pair's potential relationship. "Wait," one fan wrote.
"What's happening here???? Is this a new couple alert??? Cause I am ON BOARD!!!!" "This is too cute omg," another added. "The costumes are ON POINT!" Meanwhile, Kelsey, who won season 28 of The Bachelor and is now engaged to Joey Graziadei , only fanned the rumors by commenting with a pink heart emoji, "So cute." While Mark was eliminated from the dating show earlier this month, he is more than grateful for his time trying to find love with Joan Vassos and his friendships with the other contestants.
"I started a journey hopeful for a future," he wrote on Instagram Oct. 18. "I departed with so much more than I started with.
I am blessed to have met Joan, a radiant, and caring woman who stood tall and navigated this with poise and grace." "I met this incredible group of men that have enriched the core of my being," he continued. "Thank you for the encouragement and support that has been shared throughout this journey it has truly changed my life for the better!" And it helps to have a daughter ready to cheer you on every step of the way.
Kelsey commented, "Love you so much." In fact, the 26-year-old previously reflected on his decision to be on the show and why she supported the move. "He hasn't really put himself out there much since my mom passed, so if anything, I think this is a great push for him just to know that it's OK to date," she told E! News last month.
"There are a lot of people going on the show who have been in similar situations of losing a loved one. Same with Joan. This is a really cool experience that not many people get.
He decided, 'If Kelsey could do it, I think I could do it.'" And she also noted that it's something her mom Denise , who died after a battle with breast cancer in 2018, would want for him as well. "My mom always said that she wanted my dad to find another love after her if she passed before him," she continued.
"I know my mom supports it 100 percent, so I'm going to support it 100 percent. I want my dad to be happy. He deserves love and friendship in a partnership.
So yeah, I want the best for my dad. He's very deserving of love.".
