What To Know
- Golden Bachelor couple Mel Owens and Peg Munson are spending their first Christmas together in Brazil.
- While filming an Instagram Live on their trip, they documented a slight “disagreement” they had.
- Owens and Munson also answered a fan question about what “annoys” them about each other.
Mel Owens and Peg Munson are still going strong more than a month after The Golden Bachelor finale, but even they aren’t immune to an argument here or there. The couple went live on Instagram while spending Christmas Eve in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and they didn’t shy away from documenting a disagreement they had.
This is Owens and Munson’s first Christmas together, and the former football star took his girlfriend to Rio to celebrate with his best friend who lives there. It’s been a tradition for Owens for the last 40 years.
When one IG Live viewer commented on how great Owens looked at his age, he explained, “I went and ran for, like, 25 minutes today on the beach. That’s the key: cardio.” Munson wasn’t quite on-board with that, though. “Is it cardio?” she wondered. “You gotta lift weights, though. Especially women.”
Owens held firm. “If you sacrifice one thing, don’t sacrifice the cardio,” to which Munson responded, “I have to disagree. I’m gonna disagree with the professional athlete.” Owens took it in stride. “You do you, boo,” he told Munson, to which she reiterated, “I’m disagreeing!”
It was all in good fun, though, as the pair went on to document their time soaking up the sun for nearly an hour. In response to a fan who asked what annoyed them about one another, they couldn’t even come up with anything. However, Munson noted that they’re still in the “honeymoon stage” right now, so that could change.
“We’re human beings,” she pointed out. “There’s going to be something that annoys me about him eventually. I’ll let you all know.”
Munson received Owens’ final rose on Season 2 of The Golden Bachelor, and while they didn’t get engaged, he did give her a ring to signify his commitment to her. The lovebirds have been keeping busy since going public with their relationship in mid-November. In addition to their Christmas trip to Rio, they recently celebrated Owens’ birthday in Las Vegas, attended a University of Michigan football game over Thanksgiving weekend, and more.
