Golden Bachelor: Mel Owens Opens Up About His Marriage On A Date With Nicolle
In the recent episode of The Golden Bachelor, Mel Owens took Nicolle Kate on a date. While the two were really excited to spend some alone time together, Nicolle, who is a yoga instructor, was very curious to know about Owens’ past. Mel revealed that he got married once. He said, “I had one marriage, right? And it lasted a total of 25 years.” Replying to it, Nicolle shot a quick question. The yoga instructor asked if his marriage would last for the rest of his life.
Mel looked vulnerable and said, “Well, I took the vow.” He further added that the leading cause behind the divorce was the age difference. Owens and Fabiana had a 19-year age gap. According to Mel, his former partner initiated the divorce because she wanted something else. And he did not want to be the one who would have stopped her. Mel said that Fabiana was younger and wanted to experience new things. “It was more like, ‘it’s over.’ And the papers were there, and I’m not fighting it,” he added.
He admitted that the divorce was utterly ‘heart-wrenching’ for him. But it seems that he is ready to move forward in life. The yoga instructor asked him if he was prepared to get married again. He added that he would want to give it another shot. He said that he would trust it again for sure. Their light-hearted conversation, as well as the date, came to an end. Kate also accepted the rose Mel gave to her.
The pair also shared several kisses before they called it a night. Later, when Mel was asked about the time he spent with Nicolle, he said that it was ‘very meaningful.’ He further added that the chemistry between them is good, and it is something you can’t manufacture or fight. “And she’s definitely a person I can see in my life,” Owens said. He concluded that they will have fun in the future. Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for more Golden Bachelor updates.
