A Golden Glow Beyond the Bachelor
Peggy Dercole, one of The Golden Bachelor‘s most graceful and poised contestants, is proving that confidence and style know no age limits. The 69-year-old recently stunned fans when she posted photos from her Florida beach getaway, wearing a plunging blue swimsuit that showed off both her vibrant spirit and timeless beauty.
Set against a backdrop of soft waves and golden light, Peggy looked effortlessly radiant. The bold color of the suit complimented her glowing complexion and sun-kissed silver-blonde hair. With oversized sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat in tow, she embraced full vacation mode—and fans were loving it.
Fans and friends are all in
The post quickly garnered love from her Golden Bachelor co-stars and followers alike. “You are glowing, Peggy!” wrote fellow contestant Faith Martin, while Leslie Fhima chimed in with, “That Florida sun looks good on you, friend!”
Comments rolled in calling her “ageless,” “fierce,” and “an inspiration.” Many praised her for embracing life post-show with such joy and elegance.
Embracing the golden years with grace
Peggy, a retired school principal from New Jersey, may not have left the mansion with a final rose, but she’s certainly found her own kind of happiness. Since the show, she’s been traveling more, reconnecting with old friends, and, clearly, enjoying the beach life.
In a brief Instagram caption, she wrote:
“Learning to let go, soak up the sun, and feel beautiful at every age.”
She’s also stayed in touch with several of the women from The Golden Bachelor, and fans have been thrilled to see how those friendships have blossomed beyond the show.
A reminder to live boldly
Peggy’s beachside confidence is more than just a fashion moment—it’s a message. She’s showing that style, self-love, and adventure don’t end at any number. If anything, they flourish with time.
