Guy said he felt a "chemistry" and "happiness" with The Golden Bachelorette star that he hadn't felt in years during their laidback one-on-one date this season, and Joan thought Guy was handsome and kind.

Guy made Joan feel "hopeful" about finding love on the show, and Joan made guy feel hopeful about the future.

"I feel like I am starting to fall for Joan. My brain is secreting so many endorphins, and dopamine is just squirting out of my ears right now!" Guy gushed to the cameras.

But because Guy was developing strong feelings for Joan, it rubbed him the wrong way when Chock Chapple arguably hogged The Golden Bachelorette star during a bowling group date.

"Do the polite thing and give everybody the opportunity. Don't take all of her time while we're playing the game," Guy vented in a confessional.

Joan ended up giving Guy a rose before hometown dates, and so he'll be one of four men introducing her to family members.

"For the first time since my ex-wife, I think I could be falling in love. It's very heartwarming for me," Guy gushed in a confessional.

Until The Golden Bachelorette viewers can watch more of Guy and Joan's love story on the show, let's learn some information about this handsome suitor right now.

Below is a list of 10 facts Reality TV World has compiled about The Golden Bachelorette bachelor Guy Gansert.

Guy wants to prove to the world that older men still have a zest for life

Guy is "a total catch" who does "NOT fit the 'grumpy old man' stereotype" men his age typically get slapped with, according to ABC.

Guy is passionate about hiking and traveling, and he even tried shoeing.

Guy recently traveled to Barcelona and Scotland. He hiked up a hill called "Cross Peak" in Reno in August, and he hiked a portion of the Camino de Santiago last year.

Guy says he's looking for "The five Cs" in a woman

During a recent episode of Good Morning America, Guy revealed that he's looking for communication, compatibility, commitment, caring and compromise in a healthy relationship.

Guy later added on social media how he'd like to add a sixth "C," Christ, to that list.

The Golden Bachelorette bachelor cherishes quality time with his kids

Guy is the proud dad of four children -- sons Glenn and Hank as well as daughters Kirsten and Mackenzie.

Guy also has one grandchild named Idan through his oldest daughter Mackenzie, who works as a lawyer in Atlanta.

Guy often boasts about his children's successes and achievements on Instagram.

Guy initially wanted to take care of animals rather than humans!

Guy received a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology/Animal Biology from the University of Nevada, Reno in 1982. He later earned his MD from the same college's School of Medicine in 1986.

Guy went on to pursue Emergency Medicine, and he completed the residency program at the University of Louisville School of Medicine in 1989.

The ER doctor has dedicated nearly 40 years to helping others

Guy works as an emergency room doctor for Northern Nevada Emergency Physicians, according to his LinkedIn.

Prior to his current gig, Guy worked as Chief of Staff at Renown Regional Medical Center from January 2005 to December 2007.

And before that, Guy served as the Medical Director for the Department of Emergency Medicine at Renown Regional from January 1994 to January 2005. He spent a whopping 11 years serving in that position.

Guy apparently injured himself while filming The Golden Bachelorette

Guy took to Instagram on September 4 and posted a photo of himself lying on the couch in a leg cast.

"During the filming of the Golden Bachelorette, I take full responsibility for thinking my body is 25 years old instead of being in my 'Golden Years,'" Guy captioned the photo.

"My left knee required surgery for a meniscus tear (cartilage). I'll be back to my old self in no time."

However, Guy had to postpone a trip to Africa he had originally scheduled for this fall due to his leg injury.

Guy was previously married to a political figure in Nevada

Guy is divorced from Heidi Gansert, a Republican politician in Nevada who began serving for the state Senate in 2016.

However, Heidi decided not to run for her seat again in the 2024 election.

According to an article in The Nevada Independent, Guy and Heidi were still together in 2017 and discussed being married for over 30 years.

Once Guy and his former wife became empty nesters, they split after 34 years of marriage and got a divorce. Guy said they lacked communication and spent three decades trying not to hurt each other's feelings.

Guy admitted how the divorce was difficult for him and he was depressed at first; however, his kids helped to lift him up.

Guy teases how his The Golden Bachelorette journey turned out

Guy recently posted on social media about his time competing for Joan's heart on The Golden Bachelorette.

"It was truly a transformational journey for me," Gansert wrote to his followers. "One that I can say sincerely changed my life for the better."

Guy later added in a separate post, "It was an honor to support Captain Kim with a song written for Joan from the Mansion Men... [And] I was humbled to be able to help Charles L finally understand and lift a heavy burden regarding the loss of his wife. Moments like these have made my Journey Transformational."

Guy's ex-wife Heidi had filed a restraining order against him

Guy's ex-wife filed a request for a restraining order in October 2021, according to court documents obtained by The Sun.

The filing states that Guy allegedly "physically tried to threaten" Heidi, who recalled having a startling encounter with the doctor.

Heidi claimed at the time Guy had approached her when she was entering her car with a female friend outside of a gym.

Guy allegedly spoke to the two women and then Heidi got out of the car and "realized he had placed something under the rear driver's tire."

Before she could take a look at the object, Guy allegedly removed it and began to "disparage" her.

"After disparaging me for some time and my now-boyfriend, he pointed his finger like a gun then 'shot' at me," Heidi wrote in her filing. "He motioned like he was going to shoot me with his hand shaped like a pistol."

Heidi claimed while this was the first time she ever felt threatened by Guy, he was "unstable" and had taken "Ambien at 4AM."

Heidi wrote in her filing, "He also said he took 10 pills. I don't know if the pills were all Ambien. He doesn't sleep and is extremely unstable."

Heidi also alleged that Guy had sent her "stacks of text messages" in Summer 2021 "trying to reconcile," before the October 2021 incident. Although Guy was allegedly trying to get Heidi back, she said he'd suddenly "flip to anger" when he wasn't getting his way.

"If needed, I can provide text messages and a video of adverse party trespassing on my property when he was aware I was not home," she wrote.

Heidi and Guy were supposed to have a hearing on November 3, 2021, but she ultimately decided to dismiss the application and not pursue action. She and Guy reached a "no-contact agreement," according to The Sun.

The temporary protection order was therefore never granted.

"This was an unfortunate situation that occurred during an incredibly stressful time for me and my former spouse and was ultimately resolved when she voluntarily dismissed her request for a protective order," Guy wrote in a recent Instagram statement.

"Together, we crafted a resolution that was agreeable to both parties."

Guy had apparently been hoping this protective order would not surface during his The Golden Bachelorette stint.

"My ex-wife and I recently asked the court to seal her application for the protective order as we had hoped to maintain privacy for our family," Guy continued.

"But, I know that being in the public eye comes responsibility."
