What’s in store for “The Golden Bachelor” season 2?
This season introduces 66-year-old Mel Owens, a former NFL linebacker-turned-attorney, as the new leading man searching for love later in life.
Owens, who played for the Los Angeles Rams in the 1980s before launching a legal career focused on sports injuries, began his journey with a bit of controversy. A pre-season podcast comment about cutting contestants over 60 sparked backlash, but Owens addressed it head-on during the premiere, offering a sincere apology to the women and asking for a chance to earn back their trust.
This season features 23 vibrant women ranging in age from their late 50s to late 70s, each bringing their own unique stories, passions and zest for life.
Standouts include Cindy, a 60-year-old retired biomedical engineer from Austin who once dated Chuck Norris and Roxanne, a 63-year-old longevity nurse who once moved to Costa Rica on a whim and competed in a pole-dancing contest.
From yacht sales reps and librarians to retired firefighters and vineyard owners, the cast proves that love truly knows no age limit.
