Golden Bachelor's Mel Owens ordered to pay $980K in divorce settlement... as ex issues stark warning


Mel Owens finalized his divorce just months before being crowned the next Golden Bachelor. His ex, Fabiana Owens, who was paid nearly $1 million in the divorce settlement, is weighing in.

The 66-year-old former pro football player, who was recently rumored to be replaced after sparking backlash for his ageist comments, is not getting support from his ex-wife, Fabiana Owens, whom he was married to for 17 years. It is presumed that Mel has paid off the $980K by the February 2025 deadline since the final court documents state that, 'In the event that Respondent (Mel) fails to make timely payment of the $980,000, and Petitioner (Fabiana) requests that the Court vacate this Judgment on Reserved Issues, the marital residence shall be listed for sale immediately (as provided in the 9/10/2024 Stipulation and Order Thereon), and all prior orders in this matter shall remain in full force and effect.' Fabiana was described as Mel's 'first love' in the April press release that announced the University of Michigan alum as the next Golden Bachelor, following Gerry Turner's season...which ended in divorce to winner Theresa Nist.
