Unexpected twists await The Golden Bachelorette, as Joan Vassos reveals white lies shared with her family, amid Jack Lencioni’s family disapproval.
Although Joan Vassos is doing phenomenally well with her own show The Golden Bachelorette, the reality TV star had to dump certain lies on her family before venturing on this journey. According to Vassos, she had to tell a few lies to her family about the process—mainly about kissing men on television and about the fantasy suites.
However, eventually, after The Golden Bachelorette premiered on ABC and things went well, Joan Vassos revealed that her family was relieved. Surprisingly, on the other hand, her potential soulmate from the show, Jack Lencioni suffered similar obstacles and concerns from his ex-wife and daughter. But unlike Vassos, Lencioni’s family was concerned about him making a fool out of himself.
Joan Vassos Spills Her Family’s Concern About Her Own Reality TV Series
The reality TV world is no stranger to drama, but the latest revelations from ABC’s The Golden Bachelorette are nothing short of explosive. Joan Vassos, the charismatic lead of the show—who previously stole people’s hearts while being a contestant on Gerry Turner’s The Golden Bachelor—opened up about the lengths she went to in order to prepare her family for her journey in the spotlight.
During her candid interview with Fox News Digital, Joan Vassos admitted to spinning a few white lies before stepping into the limelight. Revealing her family’s concern about the prospect of kissing multiple suitors on camera and the infamous fantasy suites, Vassos noted how she had to downplay the scandalous aspects of her experience. Vassos later noted that her family was “more nervous” about Gerry Turner’s show than her taking charge as The Golden Bachelorette.
They were very adamant about me [not] kissing men on TV and about fantasy suites. So that was like super embarrassing for them. But, you know, I said I wouldn’t kiss anybody. And we all knew that was a lie. So, oh well!
Nobody really knew what this was going to look like if it was just going to look like a bunch of old people dating and might not be very dignified or, I don’t know, it could be embarrassing, I guess, for them. So, after they saw that it was really portrayed really nicely, and it showed that dating at this age isn’t embarrassing, and it could be really fun and, [there were] great personalities of the women. And on my season, the men are amazing. They were a little less worried about me.
Eventually, Joan Vassos’ family came around after they watched the premiere of The Golden Bachelorette. Realizing how the men on her show were amazing and respectful, unlike how the women on Gerry Turner’s show tried using their physicality to impress the lead, Vassos’ family greenlighted her with their support. But unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Jack Lencioni, her potential soulmate from the show.
The Golden Bachelorette Contestant Jack Lencioni’s Heart Faces Family Hurdles
According to reports from ScreenRant, The Golden Bachelorette contestant Jack Lencioni’s journey of finding love on reality TV has been marred by familial strife, as his ex-wife and daughters were less than thrilled about his participation in a reality dating series. Although he became an instant fan-favorite when he sang My Way by Frank Sinatra and cooked for Joan Vassos on premiere night, his family feared he’d say “something stupid”.
Unlike Joan Vassos’ family, who were concerned about the process of finding love on reality TV series, which involved kissing an odd number of men and venturing into the fantasy suite with them, Jack Lencioni’s family were worried about him being a laughing stock. Although he was excited about finding love with Vassos on The Golden Bachelorette, Lencioni told Nick Viall that his family wasn’t as enthusiastic about him joining the reality dating show for seniors.
My ex-wife and my two daughters were not happy at all about it when I first started doing it. Right now, all three of them are happy with it. [My ex-wife thought I would] say something stupid because I have a habit of saying something stupid. I would never disrespect her. She’s a wonderful woman. Just not the woman for me.
Although Jack Lencioni initially began his romantic pursuits without the support of his loved ones, the reality TV star later mentioned how his ex-wife and kids are now happy to see him flourish. But as viewers tune in to watch the potential romance between Vassos and Lencioni, on The Golden Bachelorette, the contrast in their family dynamics adds a layer of intrigue to the unfolding drama.
