About the Show
The Golden Bachelor on Channel 9 meet the participants – Get ready for a love story unlike any you’ve ever seen! Hosted by television powerhouse Samantha Armytage, The Golden Bachelor is set to make hearts flutter as viewers follow a modern twist on romance for the golden years.
Twenty incredible women are stepping into the spotlight, ready to capture hearts across the country as they pursue a chance at love with Australia’s first Golden Bachelor, 61-year-old Sydneysider Bear.
Bear will make history as Australia’s first-ever Golden Bachelor, in a heartfelt new series that will charm the nation. A strong, protective man with a deep love for family and adventure, Bear made the northern beaches of Sydney his home in 1998 with his late wife, Audrey, raising their three sons by the ocean. Tragedy struck in 2011 when he lost both Audrey and his mother in the same year. For years, Bear prioritised fatherhood above all else, and he is proud of the men his sons have become. Now he is ready to open his heart again to love.
Bear said:
“It’s quite surreal getting to be Australia’s first Golden Bachelor. It’s an incredible privilege that twenty remarkable women are willing to come on this journey with me, for all of us to have the courage to open our hearts and take the chance to fall in love again. I couldn’t be more grateful or excited to see where this trailblazing experience takes us.”
Samantha Armytage said:
“I can’t wait to introduce Bear to Australia. We’ve found a one-in-a-million Golden Bachelor, full of integrity and compassion. He’s incredibly kind and, I might add, very handsome! I know you’re all going to want to join him on his journey to fall in love again.”

From a hoist operator and a radio personality to a NICU nurse and an age transformation coach, they are rewriting the rules of romance.
