One of The Golden Bachelor season 2 contestants, Debbie Siebers, is making history on the show as the first Golden contestant to openly say that she’s never been married. The Golden Bachelor season 2 stars 66-year-old NFL player-turned-lawyer Mel Owens from Detroit, Michigan, a divorced dad of two sons. The show features 23 women aged 58 to 77 competing for Mel’s heart.

During The Golden Bachelor season 1 starring Gerry Turner, most of the women were either divorced or widowed. However, Debbie, a 65-year-old fitness professional from Denver, Colorado, is breaking new ground on the show as someone who’s revealed that she’s never tied the knot and made it part of her story.

Who Is The Golden Bachelor Season 2 Contestant Debbie Siebers?

During The Golden Bachelor season 2 premiere, Debbie revealed that she’s never been married. She stated that her life, career, and passion is fitness. She shared that she started out as a personal trainer in Los Angeles, which led to her creating a program for Beach Body, called Slimin6. Debbie said that she’s helped so many people get in shape and live better lives.

However, Debbie revealed that because she put all of her energy into her career, she’s never been married. She explained that she wasn’t willing to compromise, but she’s so proud that she took the chance to appear on The Golden Bachelor because it’s not too late.

During a one-on-one conversation during the group date, Debbie told Mel that she had love very early that didn’t work out. She said that it was so painful because she was about 45 at the time, and she had to start over again. She shared that she had so much love to give, and she’d almost given up. Mel told her that she can’t give up.

Debbie Brings A Different Perspective To The Golden Bachelor

Throughout The Golden Bachelor season 1, the women shared their stories of resilience after divorces and the deaths of their spouses. Fans could relate to either scenario as so many of them had been through exactly the same things. However, no one represented people who’ve never been married because it wasn’t a major storyline on the show.

Debbie is bringing a whole new perspective to The Golden Bachelor. It’s going to be very interesting to watch someone possibly get engaged for the first time at age 65. She’s a beautiful example of a person who chose a different path in life. Too often society discounts unmarried people as useless or worthless, but she’s removing that stigma. Debbie is a strong, vibrant woman whose journey is certain to inspire The Golden Bachelor viewers and the world by proving that it’s never too late to find the love of one’s life.
