The Golden Bachelorette is an American dating reality television series that premiered on September 18, 2024 on ABC.[1] It is a spin-off of The Bachelorette featuring a cast of older people as the contestants and single woman.

The series stars 61-year-old Joan Vassos, a private school administrator and widow from Rockville, Maryland.[2] Vassos was previously a contestant on The Golden Bachelor featuring Gerry Turner, but quit in week 3 due to a family emergency.[3]

It concluded on November 13, 2024, with Vassos accepting a proposal from 60-year-old Charles "Chock" Chapple.[4]
