SUMMARY
– The Golden Bachelorette’s Joan Vassos expects to be ridiculed when she returns to work.
– Joan’s adult children are worried about watching their mom kiss men on TV.
– Joan is unbothered by these concerns, and is looking forward to finding love on The Golden Bachelorette.
The Golden Bachelorette star Joan Vassos predicts that she’ll be ridiculed by the students and staff at the school where she works as an administrator after her journey to find love. Joan, a 61-year-old from Rockville, Maryland, got her start on Gerry Turner’s Bachelor season. They had a strong connection, but Joan had to leave early to go home to her daughter who was experiencing postpartum depression. Joan almost returned to the show, but the timing wasn’t right for her and her family. Now she’s ready to continue her journey to find love on The Golden Bachelorette season 1.
“People are gonna make a lot of fun of me when I go back to work, but I signed up for this, and I don’t care.”
In an interview with ET, Joan confessed that she expects the students and staff at her private all-boys school to mock her when she returns to work. She said, “I’m gonna probably get a lot of ridicule. People are gonna make a lot of fun of me when I go back to work, but I signed up for this, and I don’t care.” Joan added that if she finds a man she likes she has to make sure that he’s “a good kisser.” It’s interesting that Joan seems to be planning to return to her regular job after The Golden Bachelorette.
Joan Vassos’ Family Is Worried About Her Kissing On TV
Joan Has Four Adult Children
Joan, who’s the mother of four adult children, Allison, Nicholas, Erica, and Luke, and the grandmother of three, revealed that her family was “maybe a little embarrassed, worried that I’m gonna kiss somebody on TV.” She added, “That could happen. I promised I wouldn’t, but I think I lied.” Joan joked, “They shouldn’t even have asked me that. That’s not fair. I get to do whatever I want, so I might kiss a man or two on TV. I don’t know. It could happen.” Joan already kissed Gerry during The Golden Bachelor, so her kids have seen it happen before.
Joan is obviously ready to find love on The Golden Bachelorette. She lost her husband, John, to pancreatic cancer in 2021 after 32 years together. While it must be very difficult to move on after such a life-changing loss, Joan is finding her way with the support of her family. It’s humorous that her children are worried about their mom kissing men on television, but it’s a necessary part of the journey. It’ll also be interesting to hear more about Joan’s job as a private school administrator and how her colleagues and students react to her finding love on TV.
Joan was the perfect choice for the first-ever lead of The Golden Bachelorette. She’s calm, kind, and dignified, but she also has a funny side. After her early exit from The Golden Bachelor, it’ll be exciting to get to know her even better as she takes the lead role of The Golden Bachelorette. Joan was selfless when she left the show early to help her family, and she always puts them first in her life. Hopefully, Joan will find what she’s looking for as she continues to search for new love, and she’ll live happily ever after.
