After the grand success of the first season of The Golden Bachelor, ABC has come up with the second season of the reality dating show in which a hopeless romantic gives love a second chance.
We will get to see Mel Owens, a former NFL player-turned-lawyer, trying to find a compatible partner among all the women present in the Bachelor mansion this season.
Mel is 66 years old, so the women participating in winning his heart will be of a similar age group. However, Mel was married to a much younger woman, Fabiana Owens, in the past. While Mel is in his 60s now, his ex-wife Fabiana is in her late 40s.
According to reports, the age difference between Mel Owens and his ex-wife Fabiana Owens is 19 years.
