Fans loved everything about Mark when they first saw him on The Bachelor. Some were thirsting over him. Even one of the top execs for ABC, Rob Mills, noted that he would be an amazing Golden Bachelor. 

When the subject was first brought up to him, Kelsey said her dad joked around saying he was too young. However, this latest hint from Jesse has fans wondering if they have already found their next leading man.

Would He Take The Job? Kelsey Weighs In

People caught up with Kelsey Anderson and asked her about her father potentially being The Golden Bachelor. At first, she said she was traumatized by all the photos and fans thirsting for her dad. However, she thought about it and changed her mind. She said, “But then I decided to take a step back and I was like, ‘You know what? My dad deserves all of this praise and love. He is an amazing dad, and he was an amazing husband to my mom.’ I think that my dad deserves all the love.”

Kelsey went on to say that her dad is open to the possibility especially because he sees how happy Kelsey and Joey are together. Mark has told his daughter that she never would have met Joey if not for the show.

She also said her mom always wanted him to be happy if she passed away first. Kelsey lost her mom in 2018.

Joey thinks his father-in-law-to-be would crush it as the lead. He said, “He has a presence about him. So, if he’s open to it, I think he’d do really well.”
