Who Is Mel Owens? Meet the ‘Golden Bachelor’ Season 2 Lead That Is ‘Ready to Rediscover’ Love


The Golden Bachelor is back for season 2 and fans want to know everything about Bachelor Nation's new handsome leading man, retired NFL star, Mel Owens.

After retiring from professional football, he moved to Orange County, California, and transitioned into a career in law as he dedicated his life to helping others — specifically those suffering from sports-related injuries. “After several years as a devoted dad, Owens is ready to rediscover a love rooted in the simple joys of companionship — sharing life’s everyday moments, making plans for the future, and growing stronger together as a couple,” the network teased. Mel’s journey as the leading man follows a schedule similar to Joan Vassos’ season of The Golden Bachelorette, which began filming in June 2024 and concluded with the finale in Tahiti that August.
