Vassos was introduced to audiences on the first season of The Golden Bachelor, but her journey was cut short when she had to leave the show due to a medical concern with her daughter. She is described as “a remarkable woman whose life has been defined by her resilience, zest for adventure and strong family values.”

“Vassos remains an embodiment of strength and grace as a devoted mother of four, grandmother of three, and school administrator while finding solace in the music of Elton John, spending time with her dog and cooking. Now, as she steps into the golden spotlight and begins her journey to seek love once more, Vassos envisions a future filled with shared moments by the beach and cherished time with family,” ABC’s description of Vassos reads.

The Golden Bachelorette, and the entire Bachelor franchise, is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon.
