Joan Vassos threw Bachelor Nation right into a frenzy when she joked that her crush on Rob Lowe was so robust that she’d drop fiancé Chock Chapple “in a single minute,” but it surely seems the 9-1-1: Lone Star actor isn’t the one celeb she’s had her eye on. The 61-year-old widow, who lately starred within the first season of The Golden Bachelorette on the 2024 TV schedule, has additionally professed her love for Kevin Costner, and it seems that truly performed an element in conserving the ending of her season from being spoiled.
On The Golden Bachelorette Season 1 finale, which aired November 13 and might be streamed with a Hulu subscription, we watched Joan Vassos get engaged to Chock Chapple; nonetheless, that proposal really happened in early August. Which means the joyful couple needed to cover their relationship for 3 months in order to keep away from spoilers, and a part of doing that was developing with aliases for one another of their telephones. That’s the place Kevin Costner enters the chat, as Vassos advised Decider the Yellowstone star impressed Chapple’s pseudonym:
In my telephone, he’s Kevin C — Kevin Costner. [Laughs]
I don’t assume anyone can blame Joan Vassos for loving Kevin Costner. Area of Desires? The Bodyguard? Are you kidding me? Between him and Rob Lowe, she’s undoubtedly bought good style in celeb crushes.
It should have been disappointing for her, then, when Yellowstone’s fifth and closing season resumed to disclose (spoiler alert!) that John Dutton had been killed off. The Golden Bachelorette star talked about shifting on from Kevin Costner — in additional methods than one! She continued:
I really like him. He’s not on this season although, so I’m sorry, Kevin Costner. You’re carried out. And immediately I’m gonna change [Chock’s] identify to a standard identify in my telephone as a result of he’s nonetheless Kevin in my telephone.
Wow, it’s a tricky month for Kevin Costner. First, John Dutton dies in impact by the hands of his personal son (in an episode that didn’t embrace Costner however nonetheless earned Yellowstone’s highest scores ever), and now Joan Vassos is taking his identify out of her telephone? Strategy to kick a person whereas he’s down!
The truth star’s feedback in regards to the Bull Durham actor come not lengthy after she expressed her love for Rob Lowe, in a Jimmy Kimmel Reside! interview that made its method again to The West Wing veteran himself. Lowe had a hilarious response, joking that he might be the following Golden Bachelor, which was — in keeping with him — even higher than a Golden Globe.
At this level we’re undecided who will lead The Golden Bachelor Season 2, but it surely’s a protected guess it gained’t be Rob Lowe, who may be very, very married. Our cash is on Mark Anderson, Jonathan Rone or Charles Ling … or perhaps simply whichever of Joan’s eradicated contestants hasn’t hard-launched a brand new relationship by subsequent summer season.
Time will inform, however for now Bachelor Nation followers are simply biding our time whereas we look forward to The Bachelor to premiere on the 2025 TV schedule, with Grant Ellis’ journey kicking off at 8 p.m. ET Monday, January 27, on ABC.
