Kelsey Anderson’s Special Guest Spot on ‘Golden Bachelorette’

Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei fell in love on The Bachelor. However, the couple didn’t vanish from the spotlight post-engagement. Kelsey made an appearance on The Bachelorette, hosting one of Jenn Tran’s dates. Fans can also expect her to feature on the upcoming season of The Golden Bachelorette.

Joan Vassos is set to make history next month in the Bachelor franchise. The 61-year-old school administrator from Maryland previously appeared on The Golden Bachelor but left early due to a family matter. This May, Joan was announced as the first-ever Golden Bachelorette.

ABC meticulously selected 24 men of a certain age who, like Joan, are in search of love later in life. Joan’s journey is particularly poignant as she lost her husband of 32 years to cancer in 2021.

Fans of the Bachelor Nation have already been introduced to one of Joan’s suitors, Mark Anderson, who has a family connection to the franchise. Mark is the father of Kelsey Anderson.

The Golden Bachelorette is set to premiere on ABC on Wednesday, September 18.

Viewers were first introduced to Mark Anderson during Kelsey’s Hometown date on The Bachelor when she brought Joey to New Orleans. Mark left an indelible mark on fans with his humor and evident love for his daughter.

According to Kelsey, her dad hadn’t ventured into dating since her mom passed away from breast cancer in 2018. She encouraged him to apply for The Golden Bachelorette, where he eventually joined Joan’s season. But Kelsey’s involvement didn’t stop there.

A preview of the upcoming Golden Bachelorette season reveals Kelsey Anderson making a heartfelt appearance. The clip opens with Kelsey stepping out of the limo at the Bachelor mansion. After filming Jenn Tran’s season overseas, the show returns to the mansion for Joan Vassos’ season.

Joan’s eyes widen in amazement when she sees Kelsey. Kelsey then looks back at the limo, hinting she has someone to introduce to Joan. Her father, Mark, shyly exits the limo and moves towards Kelsey and Joan. The preview then shifts to show Joan and her contestants brimming with excitement for the forthcoming season.

Although The Golden Bachelorette hasn’t premiered yet, spoiler expert Reality Steve already has details on how it concludes. If curiosity gets the better of you, more spoilers about whether Mark Anderson and Joan Vassos hit it off are available online.

Undoubtedly, Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei will be eagerly watching the show to see Kelsey’s dad navigate the dating scene.
