Who is 'The Golden Bachelorette'?
"The Golden Bachelor" alum Joan Vassos is ABC's inaugural leading lady on the first-ever "The Golden Bachelorette."
A private school administrator from Rockville, Maryland, Vassos, 61, was among the top picks for the show following the success of "The Golden Bachelor," USA TODAY had exclusively revealed in February.
Vassos spent a romantic evening with Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner in last year's show and became a fan favorite after her heartbreaking decision to leave "The Golden Bachelor." Vassos eliminated herself due to a medical concern with her daughter that required her care out in the real world.
During her time on Turner's season, Vassos had passionately talked about her husband, John, who died after 32 years of marriage from pancreatic cancer. "He was the husband that always made me feel safe and cherished," Vassos had written on Instagram in January.
