Everyone Thinks Mark Anderson and Barbara Alyn Woods Are Dating and They Might Be Right 

There’s a new romance brewing around, and it might be the cutest thing we’ve seen in a while. Mark Anderson, a fan favorite from The Golden Bachelorette, is rumored to be dating One Tree Hill star Barbara Alyn Woods.

Yes, you read that right! After seeing their adorable Halloween post together, fans can’t help but wonder if these two are more than just friends. Anderson was a frontrunner to become the next Golden Bachelor, and his time on the show had fans hoping he’d get another shot at finding love on TV.

But now, with his possible relationship with the actress heating up, the idea of him as the Golden Bachelor might be off the table. Could his heart already belong to someone else? Keep reading to find out how this all started and why everyone is so sure these two are an item.

How Did the Romance Rumor Between Mark Anderson and Barbara Alyn Woods Start?

Let’s rewind to October 27, when Mark Anderson and Barbara Alyn Woods shared a picture that made everyone’s hearts skip a beat. Alyn Woods posted a Halloween photo on Instagram, where she was dressed as Cinderella, and Anderson was all decked out as Prince Charming.

In the caption, she joked, “When Cinderella and Prince Charming have a baby…” with a crown and baby emoji. That’s when the rumors started flying. And the icing on the cake? Anderson’s daughter, The Bachelor winner Kelsey Anderson, chimed in with a comment that said, “So cute.”

If Kelsey’s supporting this, then it seems like something is going on, right? While it’s still unclear if this Halloween moment was just fun or something more, it was definitely a cute sign that these two might be growing closer.

After losing his wife, Denise, to cancer in 2018, Anderson has been on a journey of healing, and it looks like Alyn Woods might just be the one who’s helping him open his heart again. So, is this the start of something special? The clues are definitely there.

The Sparks of Romance Between Mark Anderson and Barbara Alyn Woods Are Flying Again

The plot thickens! After the Halloween costume photo, these two gave fans another reason to talk when they posted a TikTok video together. In this clip, they’re dancing to Disco by Surf Curse, in front of a gorgeous Christmas tree.

But the best part is at the end of the dance, they share a hug. It’s honestly the kind of move that screams couple goals. The caption read “IN GOOD COMPANY,” which sounds like the perfect way to let everyone know that they’re enjoying each other’s company… in more ways than one.

Of course, Anderson’s daughter Kelsey was quick to comment again, writing “AWE” with a heart. At this point, it’s hard to deny that these two are looking pretty cozy together.

While neither Alyn Woods nor Anderson have confirmed they’re officially dating, the chemistry they’re showing off on social media is hard to ignore. Plus, when you get that much support from your daughter, it kind of feels like the real deal.

So, What About The Golden Bachelor?

Mark Anderson was one of the top choices to be the next Golden Bachelor. After his time on The Golden Bachelorette and his obvious charm, fans thought he’d be a perfect fit to follow Gerry Turner’s footsteps.

But if Anderson is actually dating Alyn Woods, does that mean his dream of being The Golden Bachelor is out the window? At this point, it’s hard to say for sure. But now, if Anderson is really dating the actress, his chances of becoming The Golden Bachelor will probably go down the drain.

It’s hard to imagine him looking for love on a reality show if his heart’s already spoken for. So, if Anderson is out, who could be next in line? Jonathan Rone, another fan favorite from The Golden Bachelorette, was also rumored to be in the running, but he’s found love too.

Looks like the search for the next Golden Bachelor just got a whole lot more complicated. In the end, we may not get to see Anderson on TV again anytime soon, but we can’t be mad about it. If he’s found love with Alyn Woods, we’re totally here for it. Let’s just hope they keep sharing those adorable TikToks!
