‘Golden Bachelor’s Mel Owens Reveals How His Late Dad Would Feel About the Show

Five years before Mel Owens became the lead for Season 2 of The Golden Bachelor, he went through a life-altering year. In 2020, he dealt with the death of his father, Walter Owens, and the end of his marriage to Fabiana Pimentel.

While Fabiana has given her reaction to her ex’s casting —”I mean, it’s going to be bad. But anyway, I don’t want to be involved in this,” she told Daily Mail in July — Mel is now revealing how he thinks his late father would feel about him being on the dating show.
