Since The Golden Bachelorette and The Golden Bachelor ended, fans have been buzzing about possible romances between the standout contestants. Among the favorites, Susan Noles and Jack Lencioni captured attention with their shared humor and magnetic personalities, sparking hopes that they might become an item. But is there more to their connection than friendship?
Susan Noles Clears the Air
Fans were eager to link Susan Noles, known for her charisma and candid demeanor, with Jack Lencioni, a fellow Golden Bachelor fan favorite. Their dynamic seemed promising, with both exuding a playful sense of humor and zest for life. However, Susan recently put the speculation to rest during an episode of her Golden Hour podcast, co-hosted with Kathy Swarts.
Michael Stevens, a guest on the podcast, didn’t shy away from addressing the rumors. “I have to ask you a question,” he began, teasingly setting the stage. “How do you feel about fans shipping you and Jack Lencioni?”
Susan’s response was direct yet warm: “He’s a great guy. I could see us cooking and laughing together, but the chemistry wasn’t there.” She emphasized the importance of connection in a relationship, adding, “You need to have chemistry. You can’t force it. He’s fun, but he’s not my guy. I consider him a friend.”
Stevens wasn’t surprised by Susan’s answer, agreeing that compatibility goes beyond shared interests or surface-level interactions.
Susan’s Romantic Prospects
While Susan ruled out romance with Jack, she hasn’t closed the door on love. During the podcast, Kathy Swarts humorously recounted Susan’s encounter with another potential suitor—a man whose one-sided conversation left a less-than-stellar impression.
“For 45 minutes, he talked about himself—what cars he drives, how much land he owns, what he earns. The only thing he asked Susan was what kind of car she drives,” Kathy shared, laughing. “Red flag. Get rid of him.”
Susan, however, wasn’t entirely dismissive. She revealed a text message from the man during the recording, which read: “I see you’re back from LA and recovering from your procedure, social media, LOL. Let me know if you’re still interested in meeting.” Though it’s unclear if Susan plans to give him another chance, her willingness to share the exchange suggests she’s keeping her options open.
Could Golden Bachelor in Paradise Be Next?
The idea of a Golden Bachelor in Paradise spinoff has been circulating among fans, and Michael Stevens didn’t hesitate to bring it up during the podcast. When asked who he’d want to see on the hypothetical show, he surprised Kathy with his answer.
“Well, certainly you, Kathy. I want you to be there,” he said, adding an unexpected twist to the conversation.
While no official plans for the spinoff have been announced, the possibility has ignited excitement among viewers. Fans are eager to see if Susan, Jack, or other beloved contestants might explore new relationships in a relaxed, sun-soaked setting.
Friendship Over Romance
Despite fans’ hopes, Susan Noles and Jack Lencioni remain firmly in the friend zone. Their lighthearted interactions and mutual respect demonstrate that sometimes, strong friendships can shine just as brightly as romance. With Susan open to dating and Jack continuing to charm fans, their stories are far from over.
As Bachelor Nation waits for the next chapter, one thing is clear: the golden years are full of surprises, laughter, and endless possibilities.
