The Golden Bachelorette Gary Levingston’s Shocking Tie To Music Icon

When The Golden Bachelorette premiered, Joan Vassos met 24 eligible men, all there to woo her and hopefully, win her heart. They want that final rose and to sail off into the sunset with her as they all have their own stories to share. Joan lost her love of 30+ years whereas some are in the same boat. There are girl dads, grandfathers, stepdads, adoptive fathers, and those who thought they would never feel anything again. Now, they are here in the mansion and Joan has given them a renewed sense of hope. One of the contenders for her hearts and already a fan favorite is Gary Levingston.

He has a heart of gold and teared up when he saw his daughter and lookalike grandson during the messages from home segment. In fact, everyone was tearing up and leaning on each other. So, who is Gary? According to Meaww, he is 65, from Palm Desert, and a retired finance executive. He is said to go above and beyond what is expected of him at his job which is clear by the way he interacted with not just Joan but the fellow suitors. Gary has a masters from USC Marshall School of Business.

Plus, he went to the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts for documentary filmmaking so this must be a very cool experience. Gary Levingston is a father of two and wants to travel the world, especially Paris but there’s more to his story. He just so happens to be the godson of the late, great, iconic Tina Turner. That explains his passion for moving and shaking.
