Women looking to woo ‘The Golden Bachelor’
It looks like The Golden Bachelor won’t be sharing an Indiana connection with any of the women vying for his heart on the senior-skewing “The Bachelor” spin off.
There’s a therapist; a fitness instructor; retired educators and a former Chicago Honey Bear cheerleader among the 22 women ABC revealed Wednesday to be cast members on “The Golden Bachelor;” but not one Hoosier.
The show, premiering Sept. 28, will star Indiana resident Gerry Turner, a 72-year old widower from Indiana.
The women in the cast are all between ages 60 and 75.
One is the mother of Matt James, the lead from “The Bachelor” season 25.
And it appears a decent number of them are pickleball enthusiasts, according to the video introduction.
