Who Is Pascal Ibgui?

Pascal Ibgui was an early favorite with his smooth entrance, but some fans soured on him as the episode went on. So, who is Pascal Ibgui?

The native of France now lives in the Chicago, Illinois area, where he owns a salon. His ABC bio describes the French man as a “proud father and grandfather” who enjoys going to the theater, or concerts during his downtime. He also enjoys trying new restaurants, but Joan shouldn’t expect him to cook for her. His bio quips that he’s great at making dinner reservations, though.

He said that he wants a woman who is passionate, intelligent, and full of life. Sounds like Joan Vassos. While the Golden Bachelorette contestant is a proud business owner, his dream job would have been a fashion designer.

His bio also notes that Pascal played a lot of tennis when he was younger. Joan Vassos is an avid pickleball player, as she revealed in the season premiere.

Fans will get to know more about Pascal as the season progresses. Do you think he could be a good match for Joan? Sound off in the comments.
