Golden Bachelor Season 2: What You Need to Know
Summer is fading, but there’s no need to worry because fall brings a brand-new season of love with Golden Bachelor.
For those missing the romantic journey since Jess and Spencer’s engagement at the Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 finale, Season 2 of Golden Bachelor has arrived just in time!
Jerry Turner’s first season may have ended in divorce, yet the heartfelt stories and connections he shared with the contestants resonated well with fans. It’s a good thing, too, since Golden Bachelor is back for a second round. Before the season premiere, Turner mentioned that fans should be ready for a wild experience.
In June 2025, Mel Owens made headlines for some controversial remarks soon after being named the lead for Season 2. He reportedly stated a preference for women aged 45 to 60, saying things like, “If you’re over 60, I’m cutting them,” which understandably caused some uproar among fans. Even the original Golden Bachelor was displeased with his comments. Despite this, the network decided to keep Owens as the star of the show. In an exclusive August interview, Owens apologized for his “unfair and insensible” remarks, especially since most of the contestants are over 60. Viewers are eager to see how his story unfolds on Golden Bachelor.
