Mark Anderson Recently Eliminated from The Golden Bachelorette
Mark Anderson was on The Golden Bachelorette, trying to win over Joan Vassos, who is also looking for love later in life. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as he hoped. During the show, he shared personal stories about his late wife, Denise, who passed away from cancer.
It was a deep and emotional moment. But Vassos didn’t feel that strong connection with him. While she thought he was a great guy, she mentioned that something was missing between them.
They had a romantic date on a yacht, and Anderson was feeling positive about it. However, Vassos ultimately decided they weren’t meant to be together. The day after their date, she went to speak with him and told him it wasn’t working out, saying (via PEOPLE):
I didn’t see me in our conversations when we were talking, and I didn’t feel like I imagined an us… I need somebody who is as far along in their journey as I am.
So, now that Anderson is single, is he turning to Woods for comfort and companionship? It sure seems like it!
