The Golden Bachelorette star Joan Vassos, a 61-year-old private school administrator from Rockville, Maryland, is 11 years younger than The Golden Bachelor lead Gerry Turner, a 72-year-old retired restaurateur from Hudson, Indiana, which might mean that the “Golden” series could already be headed down the path that ruined the original shows. Joan made her Bachelor Nation debut on Gerry’s season, during which they formed a deep connection. However, Joan left The Golden Bachelor early to return home to her daughter who had postpartum depression.
