Who Is ‘Golden Bachelor’ Star Mel Owens’ Dad? Everything to Know About Walter Owens

Mel Owens will make his reality television debut on the premiere of The Golden Bachelor Season 2, which begins with a two-hour episode on Wednesday, September 24. Based on pre-released footage from the episode, viewers will get a glimpse inside Mel’s life before he heads to the mansion, which will include time spent with his two sons, Lucas and Andre.

Unfortunately, one person who viewers won’t get to meet is Mel’s dad, Walter Owens, as he died in 2020. When Mel was announced as the lead for The Golden Bachelor, it was revealed that the death of his father was a pivotal moment in his life, as it occurred around the same time as his divorce from ex-wife Fabiana Pimentel.
