Freddie Freeman’s Aunt Joins ‘The Golden Bachelor’: A Surprising Connection to Bachelor Nation
Freddie Freeman, the talented first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has a unique family tie to the world of reality television. His aunt, Carol Freeman-Branstein, is currently captivating audiences as a contestant on this season’s The Golden Bachelor. Carol is not only a contestant on the show but also plays a significant role in Freddie’s life, working as his full-time manager.
The show, in its second season, premiered on Wednesday, September 24, with Mel Owens, a former NFL star, as the featured bachelor. Describing Carol on ABC’s website, it notes, “Carol has a life full of love and hard work but is missing one important piece — a man by her side.” Her participation in the show is driven by the hope of finding enduring love.
Freddie Freeman has yet to publicly comment on his aunt’s appearance on the show. Meanwhile, Mel Owens, the season’s bachelor, has been in the spotlight for past controversial remarks about dating preferences. Known for his previous comments about preferring women aged between 45 and 60 and avoiding women over 60, he has recently expressed regret over his remarks during the premiere episode. Owens took the opportunity to apologize, acknowledging, “I messed up. I was wrong. I have regrets and I’m sorry for all the things I said.” As Owens seeks redemption, he remains hopeful about finding a partner who shares his vision for a loving future.
The Golden Bachelor continues to air on ABC every Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET, offering viewers a mix of romance, drama, and heartfelt moments.
