'Golden Bachelorette' is almost here. How to watch and see full cast featuring 6 Californians
Bachelor Nation was seated for “The Bachelorette” finale Tuesday, a tearful occasion that revealed Jenn Tran’s pursuit of love only ended in heartbreak.
While many fans begin virtual tomato-throwing at Devin Strader, who broke off his engagement with Tran in August, USA TODAY reported, Bachelor Nation can look forward to a new season of love.
“The Golden Bachelorette” will premiere in September with lead Joan Vassos, one of the 22 women who competed for Gerry Turner's heart in the first-ever “The Golden Bachelor” last year.
While Turner’s happily ever after with Theresa Nist didn’t work out — they married on live television in Palm Springs earlier this year and divorced three months later — fans can only hope Vassos finds a great love this season. Her husband of 32 years died in 2021, Entertainment Tonight reported.
