The Golden Bachelorette star Joan Vassos has revealed that she's playing matchmaker and has already set up three Golden franchise couples.

Now that The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette have aired, many fans are hoping the senior bachelors and bachelorettes from both seasons will mix and mingle.

And Joan is apparently making sure of that!
"I've already set three of them up, so we have love connections that are brewing right now," Joan told Us Weekly in a joint interview with her The Golden Bachelorette winner and new fiance Chock Chapple.

"And I have two more that I'm looking at and working on. I have to see how that's going to unfold."
But Joan pointed out how many of the men from her season, including Jonathan Rone, are already taken.
"Surprisingly, well, maybe not surprisingly, there are already five guys from this season that are already involved with somebody," Joan revealed.
"They came off of this [show] and they were popular guys! And I'm not surprised that some of them have girlfriends already!"
Jack Lencioni and Susan Noles were spotted sitting together at The Golden Bachelorette finale, and dating rumors are swirling about Leslie Fhima and Jordan Heller.

However, Leslie recently insisted that she and Jordan just have a friendship right now, although there is potential for love down the road because Jordan is definitely her type.
But one lucky man -- presumably from Joan's The Golden Bachelorette cast -- will get to star on The Golden Bachelor's second season when the show returns to ABC.
Joan admitted to Us that choosing just one man to helm The Golden Bachelor's second season is "the hardest question" she's been asked in post-show press.

"I'm not trying to be evasive at all. I cannot hone in on one person because there are qualities about so many of the men -- I would dare to say, almost all of the men, that would make really good Golden Bachelors," Joan explained.

"I think [Dan Roemer] would be amazing. He's not one of the ones people are yelling. And obviously [Mark Anderson] and [Charles Ling] would both be phenomenal. But there are so many others people aren't thinking about."
Joan said Gregg Lassen, for example, would be a great pick for the show.
"He's one of the guys who was in the background. He kind of left a little on the early side, but he is the smartest and funniest man that was on the show," Joan gushed.
"He's so fun and he's such a great guy! He had these little one liners... He just had [us] in stitches! He's hilarious."
Joan said Jack also has "a huge personality," and while Bachelor Nation isn't actively rooting for some of these guys, they'd be "hits" on The Golden Bachelor.

Chock added how he could throw about eight names of his The Golden Bachelorette pals into a pot and just pick one out.
"You've got Jordan's personality, which the fans didn't really get to see. He has such an outgoing personality," Chock shared.
"And you've got Mark, who is just a solid person. And Gregg, as Joan had mentioned, is super witty and he's the smartest guy that was there, unequivocally, but he just kind of laid in the background."

Chock also mentioned that Charles L. has a great personality and "America loves the guy," whereas Gary Levingston is "a sweetheart."
Joan gushed that Gary "has the biggest heart of anyone you've ever met."
Chock and Joan also agreed Keith Gordon would be a great selection as well as Joan's The Golden Bachelorette runner-up, Guy Gansert.
"I'm not sure Bachelor Nation really knows Guy well... but he is such an amazing human being," Joan noted.
"He is so smart, so caring, and he has an emotional intelligence beyond his years. He's just a wonderful guy."
"And plus he's really good looking," Chock added. "[Guy] is better looking in person. I still don't think his teeth are real, but he's a good looking man!"
Joan and Chock got engaged on The Golden Bachelorette finale that aired earlier this month.

The couple recently shared on "The Viall Files" podcast how they could envision having a televised wedding for Bachelor Nation in late 2025 or early 2026.
In the meantime, Joan and Chock plan to continue living in their home states -- Maryland and Kansas, respectively -- but will travel all over the world and frequently meet up for dates in New York City.
