Joan Vassos was announced as the first Golden Bachelorette in May 2024
The Golden Bachelor’s Gerry Turner is passing the torch — or rose — to Joan Vassos as the first Golden Bachelorette.
“The secret is out!” Joan wrote via her Instagram Story at the time. “I’m honored to be #TheGoldenBachelorette.” Gerry, for his part, ended his season engaged to Theresa Nist, whom he wed in a January televised ceremony. The pair announced their split during an interview with Good Morning America three months later. Joan is a proud mother of four: Nicholas, Erica, Luke and Allison. During her brief stint on The Golden Bachelor, she opened up about how much her kids and grandkids mean to her — and ultimately chose them over pursuing a connection with Gerry.
She continued, “He was the husband that always made me feel safe and cherished. He was the parent that was always the fun one because that's all he knew how to do … lucky kids because fun in his book was generally epic. I could go on for hours, you all know that though. Honestly, I think that's how he would want to be remembered … by not forgetting him.
