Next ‘Golden Bachelor’ Star Mel Owens Faces Backlash After Revealing He Won’t Date Women His Own Age
The new Golden Bachelor star, Mel Owens, 66, who’s officially eligible for Medicare, says he’s not giving a rose to any women his own age.
On the In the Trenches podcast, the former NFL player turned lawyer admitted to host Jon Jansenhe does not want to date women over 60, and in fact, he wouldn’t mind if they were much younger.
“[Producers] asked me, ‘What’s your preferences?’ So I just said, ‘45 to 60, just being honest,’” Owens said.
“Then we had lunch with the executive producer. I said, ‘If they’re 60 or over, I’m cutting them.’ [They said], ‘Oh no, you can’t!’”
And no fake parts either, the California-based charmer added. “I told [producers], ‘Try and stay away from the artificial hips and the wigs,’ that kind of stuff,” he said.
The Golden Bachelorettes also “gotta be fit, because I stay in shape,” he added.
Are we shocked this guy is single?!
Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause spoke for many fans when she posted an Instagram Stories June 26, “We love The Golden Bachelor because of how wholesome it is. This type of energy will ruin it.”
Season 2 of The Golden Bachelor will premiere this fall on ABC.
