Matt James Dishes On His Mom, Patty, As ‘Golden Bachelorette’
Everyone is wondering who will be the first Golden Bachelorette. Matt James weighs on if his mom, Patty, is interested in the job. Keep reading for more on what he had to say.
Who Is Patty James?
Bachelor Nation viewers first met Patty James through her son. Matt James was the lead on Bachelor Season 25. Towards the end of the season, his mother made her appearance to offer advice on who he should pick. She returned to the franchise two years later as a contestant on The Golden Bachelor.
So, who is Patty James besides Matt’s mom and a Celine Dion lookalike? She’s 71 years old and resides in North Carolina. According to her ABC bio, she’s retired from her career in real estate. She’s been single for nearly three decades and was hoping to find love with Gerry Turner.
Unfortunately, she didn’t make it very far in the competition. She was sent home at the very first rose ceremony after failing to make a connection with Gerry.
Matt James Dishes On His Mom As Golden Bachelorette
According to Matt James, his mom is very much single and still looking for love. She saw firsthand how the Bachelor franchise is a great way to meet your forever person. Despite an initially rocky start, Matt James and his final rose winner, Rachael Kirkconnell, are still going strong.
He recently told TODAY that his mom is “open” to the idea of being the Golden Bachelorette. He admitted she was “bummed” by Gerry Turner’s rejection but isn’t giving up hope to find love again in her golden years.
Even if his mom doesn’t join another dating show, he is determined to help her find love again. “If you’re out there and you’re single, slide into my mom’s DMs,” he said.
Fans Weigh In
While fans enjoyed meeting Matt’s mom on his season of The Bachelor, her time on the Golden Bachelor was underwhelming. Fans took to Reddit to discuss the idea of her as the first Golden Bachelorette. They didn’t seem as supportive of the idea as her son. Check out some of the comments:
- Lmao good for him supporting her but she didn’t make it past night one, what in the world makes her fit to be the Golden Bachelorette.
- And she was at the tell all and didn’t say a word!
- Nah we’re good.
- Of course she deserves love like everyone else – but she just doesn’t have the personality for it. Whenever she’s been on tv, she barely speaks.
- Everyone deserves love but one thing that I’ve never liked about the show is that it seems that the people they bring on sometimes will be a friend of a friend or like in this case a mom of one of the cast members.
But what do you think? Would Matt’s mom be a good Golden Bachelorette? Share your thoughts in the comments.
