Pascal was "speechless" when he first saw the "attractive" and "elegant" Joan, and The Golden Bachelorette star liked what Pascal was bringing to the table.

Joan called Pascal "very charming" and liked his "very sexy" French accent, and she noted, "I've been wooed tonight by a Frenchman. Maybe there's some amour in our future."

Joan then dove deeper with Pascal during a one-on-one date in which they enjoyed a Pretty Woman-inspired shopping spree.

Pascal opened up about his childhood during the dinner, and the conversation allowed Joan to see more of his heart instead of just his nice Gucci clothes and manicured appearance.

Joan called Pascal "a solid human being," and she was happy to see a softer and more humble side of the bachelor during their solo date.

Pascal, in turn, said there was "no doubt" in his mind that he and Joan had a connection, and he gushed about their chemistry. Their date ended with Joan giving Pascal a rose.

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

Below is a list of eight facts Reality TV World has compiled about The Golden Bachelorette bachelor Pascal Ibgui.


Pascal is ready to say, "Eiffel in love!"

Pascal, who grew up in Paris, France, is looking for his soul mate, and, given he's French, he believes being romantic is in his blood.

Pascal is hoping to meet a woman who is passionate, full of life, and intelligent.

While he's not the best cook, he jokes about how he "makes great reservations!"

Pascal didn't have it easy growing up and his family struggled

"I had a very tough childhood where money was always an issue," Pascal revealed.

"We were living in an apartment where there were six in a room, two in each bed. We had no bathroom and no shower."

Pascal was also resentful of his parents, who allegedly never hugged him or told him, "I love you."

"They'd say, 'Go play in the street,'" Pascal recalled.

At a young age, Pascal had the opportunity to move to the United States, and he apparently took the trip with a big hole in his shoe.

"I said, 'I am going to be successful and make something of myself.' When I came to the U.S., I didn't speak a word of English... but I would look in the mirror and say, 'You've got this! Be positive!'" Pascal shared.
