Bear, a devoted father of three, tragically lost his wife Audrey to brain cancer 14 years ago. The Canadian-born star moved to Sydney with Audrey in 1998, where they built a life together before her passing. His journey on the show has resonated with viewers, showcasing his emotional quest for love later in life.

Despite the social media clue, rumors swirl that Bear’s relationship may already have ended post-filming. Fans, however, remain eager to see if the finale delivers a happy ending filled with the drama and heartwarming moments the series is known for.

Fan Favorite Jan Herdman Sparks Calls for Spin-Off
While Bear’s story takes center stage, eliminated contestant Jan Herdman, 66, has stolen viewers’ hearts. The Sydney-based transformation coach charmed audiences with her infectious energy, fitness dedication, and wit. Though Bear didn’t form a romantic connection with her, fans are demanding a Golden Bachelorette spin-off starring Jan.

Social media erupted with support for Jan, with comments like, “Bear’s loss! Jan for Bachelorette!” and “She’s too good for him—give her a spin-off!” The U.S. version of The Golden Bachelor recently launched its own Golden Bachelorette, fueling hopes for an Australian adaptation.

Host Samantha Armytage teased the possibility, telling Yahoo Lifestyle, “There’s a bright future ahead for this show.” While no official plans are confirmed, Jan’s popularity could make her a frontrunner for the role.
