'The Golden Bachelorette' star Jordan Heller frequently boasts about his daughters.

When visiting Jordan's Instagram account, a few things are instantly obvious from his bio. Namely, he loves honeycrisp apples, he won the Mr. Legs award in 1984, and he's a proud "Girl Dad x 3" from Chicago.

Yet even without the bio, it would become obvious very quickly that he adores his daughters because posts about them are all over his social media. It paints a picture of a man who is proud of his daughters and enjoys his role as a girl dad no matter how much of a teddy bear it might make him look to the outside world.

Jordan is looking for someone to have some fun with in a meaningful way.

As a dad who has so much connection with his family, Jordan is clearly a fun-loving guy. With a penchant for outdoor exploration, his search for love has brought him to The Golden Bachelorette. He hopes that he will find someone to share his life with who loves trying new restaurants and isn't afraid to be adventurous.

Joan is familiar to fans of the franchise because she appeared on Season 1 of The Golden Bachelor, but came home empty-handed. She was hitting things off with the star bachelor, Gerry Turner, but was called home by a family emergency.

Joan is a private school administrator who also considers herself family-focused. She is a mother of four and grandmother to three. She lost her husband to pancreatic cancer in 2021 and is now ready to start fresh.

Could that new start be with Jordan? Time will tell, but on paper, they seem highly compatible. And, let's face it, adorable. With fun and a love for family in common, the two have a solid foundation to start from, but the competition is stiff.

The Golden Bachelorette airs on ABC and Hulu, with new episodes dropping every Wednesday.
