Mark Might Be Perfect For Joan Vassos
Kelsey shared that she wants her dad to date, and that she thinks that her mom also"really would want him to.“Kelsey shared that her dad"kind of dated one or two ladies,“but he didn’t fully feel that he could date them"because he always felt guilty about it"because no one could replace her mom.Golden Bachelorettestar Joan, 61, might be the perfect person for Mark to datebecause she’s also a widow. Her husband, John, passed away due to pancreatic cancer in 2021, so she would understand the complicated feelings that Mark has.
It’s interesting that Mark was emailing with Susan beforeThe Bachelorseason 28 finale. They would’ve made a cute couple, especially since Susan is so outgoing, and Mark seems to be shy.At 57, he’s younger than all of the Golden ladies, but age is just a number.After everyone praised Mark on the podcast, Kathy joked that she’d like to pursue him, but Susan pointed out his age. Kathy then quipped that she could date younger for Mark. It would be intriguing to see which of theGolden Bachelorcontestants Mark would choose because they’re all so different.
Although it would be exciting to see him joinThe Golden Bachelorette,Mark actually might be better suited to be the nextGolden Bachelor. He’s handsome, kind, humble, and charming. After Gerry Turner was accused of lying about his dating history after the passing of his wife, it would be nice to have someone thatBachelorNation already knows and trusts as the lead of the show.Mark is an open book and unproblematic. Viewers already love him fromThe Bachelor. Whatever happens next, hopefully Mark will be on TV screens again very soon.
The Golden Bachelorettewill air on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC in the fall.
