Meet Austin’s “Golden Bachelorette” contestant

A 68-year-old Austin rancher is among 24 men who will vie for the heart of star Joan Vassos on ABC’s “Golden Bachelorette.”

The show, which kicks off Sept. 18, is a spinoff of “Golden Bachelor,” a huge ratings success for the network.

State of love: Vassos, 61, was a contestant on “Golden Bachelor” but was forced to withdraw because her daughter was experiencing a medical issue.

Her husband died from pancreatic cancer after 32 years of marriage.

Zoom in: Austin contestant David (the show doesn’t give the contestants’ last names) loves running marathons and spontaneously booking flights to new destinations, per the Hollywood Reporter.

His hero is his 91-year-old mother.

🍿 How to watch: The “Golden Bachelorette” will air on Wednesdays at 7pm, with next-day streaming on Hulu.
