Counting Down to the Premiere? Get Ahead With These 'Golden Bachelorette' Spoilers!

Spoiler alert: This article mentions potential spoilers for The Golden Bachelorette.

After the huge success of The Golden Bachelor, ABC is all in on helping individuals in their golden years find love again! Mark your calendars for Sept. 18, 2024, because that's when The Golden Bachelorette makes its debut— and the star of the show is Joan Vassos!

We're still a bit off from the series premiere, but Bachelor Nation is already buzzing about Joan's journey! Could one of her contestants turn out to be the second love of her life?

Only time will tell! In the meantime, if you’re itching for a sneak peek, stay tuned for all the Golden Bachelorette spoilers we've got so far.

For the juiciest spoilers in the Bachelor franchise, there's one person we can always rely on to spill the tea: Reality Steve! According to the reality TV spoiler king, filming for Season 1 of The Golden Bachelorette kicked off on Thursday, June 20.

Joan's journey continued until the end of July, and according to Reality Steve, Joan ends the season with one of the guys, though as of August 2024, it's not clear if Joan is engaged at the end.

Now, there's been a bit of a news blackout on Joan's season so far — but on June 25, the spoiler guru shared footage of Joan on a magical 1-on-1 date at Disneyland. Plus, a Disney fan page posted pics of Joan and her date, who we now know is Charles "Chock" Chapple, the 60-year-old owner and president of Insurance Services Group in Wichita, Kan.

Reality Steve revealed that he's been told Chock is divorced but has kids with his ex-wife. He was also engaged to someone else until 2023 when his fiancée tragically passed away from brain cancer.

On July 16, Reality Steve reported that Joan went on a hometown date with Chock. He's also one of her rumored final four men. If you recall, Gerry's season of The Golden Bachelor only had three hometown dates, but apparently, Joan is sticking with tradition.

On July 16, Reality Steve reported that Chock is one of Joan's final four men. They had a hometown date in Kansas on Sunday, July 14.

Speaking of Joan's final four, Reality Steve has the scoop! On Friday, July 12, Joan had a hometown date with Guy Gansert, a 66-year-old retired ER doctor in Reno, Nev. Reality Steve said Guy has four kids, and his ex-wife is a political figure in Reno.

Then, on July 16, Joan’s hometown date took her to Glencoe, Ill., where she met up with Pascal Ibgui. Reality Steve disclosed that Pascal, 69, owns the Pascal Pour Elle hair salon in Glencoe.

Finally, on July 17, Joan's fourth and final hometown date was in Chicago with 61-year-old businessman Jordan Heller. According to his LinkedIn profile, Jordan works as a territory sales manager at AquaPhoenix Scientific.

If Reality Steve's spoilers are 100 percent accurate, then Joan does leave her season with a new beau, though we don't know yet if she gets engaged. According to the spoilers, Joan picks Guy! With four kids of his own, he and Joan are about to have loads of shared kids and grandkids.

Mark Anderson, the father of Joey Graziadei's fiancée Kelsey Anderson, quickly became a fan-favorite after appearing on Joey's season of The Bachelor. Kelsey, who spoke highly about her 57-year-old widower dad, revealed how he supported her and her four siblings after their mother, Denise, passed away from breast cancer in 2018. She even expressed her hope that her dad would find love again.

Well, it looks like she and the fans' wishes might be coming true! On July 7, Reality Steve dropped the bombshell that Mark is one of the lucky suitors on The Golden Bachelorette. He also hinted that Mark may have already had a one-on-one date, though we'll need to take that with a grain of salt until it's officially confirmed.

The Golden Bachelorette premieres Wednesday, September 18, at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
