In this week’s hometown episode of The Golden Bachelorette, Joan Vassos will travel to meet the families of her top four suitors: Pascal Ibgui, Chock Chapple, Guy Gansert, and Jordan Heller. But before the episode airs, Pascal gave fans a playful hint about his relationship with Joan through a bold Halloween costume.
On October 27, Pascal posted a picture on Instagram dressed as Joan herself. Donning a gold bodycon dress, matching golden heels, a curly blonde wig, and holding a gold-painted rose, Pascal’s costume impressed fans. He captioned the photo with, “Pascal, will you accept this rose 🌹😉,” sparking reactions from his followers.
Pascal’s costume had fans buzzing in his comments, with one user saying, “It takes a real man with confidence to be able to dress as a woman for Halloween!” Another fan added, “Sense of humor is key to a great life full of adventure and fun! Pascal…how are you not taken yet?”
Pascal’s costume hints that he and Joan may have parted on good terms. It suggests they’ve stayed friendly—after all, not many people would dress as their ex if things ended poorly. According to Bachelor Nation insider Reality Steve, Pascal reportedly left The Golden Bachelorette during hometowns because he wasn’t in love with Joan, but this lighthearted Halloween post hints at an amicable split between the two.
Pascal Ibgui’s Background
Pascal, 69, has a rich background that includes both French and American roots. Originally from Paris, he moved to the U.S. at age 22 and has built a successful life in Chicago as the owner of the salon Pascal Pour Elle. Despite not speaking English when he first arrived, Pascal established himself in the beauty industry and has lived in Chicago for over three decades.
Pascal is also a proud father to three children: Natalie, Crystalle, Maxim, and Sara. His son Maxim even appeared on The Golden Bachelorette through a video message, cheering Pascal on and promising “no parties at the house this Saturday at 10 p.m.” if his dad brought Joan back. Pascal’s daughter Natalie took to TikTok to defend her dad against online critics, writing, “I’ll always have my dad’s back … that’s a fact.”
Possible Futures for Pascal and Joan
While fans await the outcome of Pascal and Joan’s relationship on The Golden Bachelorette, Pascal’s Halloween post hints that whatever happened, he left the show on a high note. Tune in this Wednesday to see if the friendship between Pascal and Joan endures as he potentially says goodbye.
