She wants a golden handyman.
“The Golden Bachelorette” star Joan Vassos said her ideal partner will do her grocery shopping and yard work because those are her least favorite chores.
“I grew up with a father that was the ultimate gentleman,” Vassos, 61, said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal published Tuesday.
“He never let my mom carry the heavy groceries in,” she continued. “He always hopped up when somebody walked in the room. He always opened doors.”
The widowed mother of four said she is searching for a man who is outgoing, courteous and would enjoy going to the beach with her family.
Vassos noted that she can be flexible about where they live as long as she is not too far away from her family.
As for her dealbreakers, she is totally turned off when a guy is rude to waitstaff, as she worked as a waitress when she was a college student.
The blond beauty was married to John Vassos for 32 years until he died in 2021 after battling pancreatic cancer.
Joan competed to win the heart of “Golden Bachelor” star Gerry Turner during the first season of the “Bachelor” spinoff last year.
She quickly formed a close bond with Turner, 73, but ended up abruptly leaving the ABC dating show and going home to be with her daughter, who was struggling with postpartum depression.
“I was a little worried that maybe we were going to look foolish or look like old people trying to date, and that it may be uncomfortable to people watching, or maybe even funny to them,” Joan recalled of her time on the show. “After just a few days, I saw what it was really about, that it was really genuine.
“They wanted this to be a show that gave hope to people out there in their 60s and 70s, who are not with somebody, who still have that want or need. It’s OK to go out and look, and it doesn’t look stupid. It looks natural.”
While Joan felt anxious each time she had to eliminate someone on her inaugural season, she told the outlet that the men “still go home to really full lives.”
“At this age, we have a lot. We have big careers, we have families and we even have grandchildren. So we go home to a lot,” she noted.
