Who Is Jonathan Rone On ‘The Golden Bachelorette’?

The Golden Bachelorette premiered on September 18, and though Golden Gal Joan Vassos only had one first impression rose to hand out, so many of her men had stellar intros, including Jonathan Rone.

For those who need a refresher, Jonathan, a 61-year-old shipping consultant from Oakland, Iowa, showed up wearing a blindfold as a sweet callback to Joan’s comments about feeling invisible after she lost her husband of 32 years. “As far as feeling invisible, I feel we’re kindred spirits in that,” Jonathan told Joan.

As the night progressed, Jonathan made another standout impression during his one-on-one time with The Golden Bachelorette lead. “On Gerry’s show, when you did the talent show, something went off in my mind. I thought, ‘I want to be the guy you’re reading the poem to.’ So I wrote a poem, it’s in my heart, it’s short, it’s sweet, and if you really like it, I can repeat,” Jonathan said. “As my heart is full of bliss standing here in front of you, so now what do I do? Take your hand, be your man, and hope you understand that I’m grateful and blessed to see you in that dress.” OKAY, sir. You killed it!

Joan told Jonathan he was “good” and had real talent. To cameras, she called him a “romantic,” “kind,” and “caring.” She also said she’s remember his “adorable dimple” forever and that she could “feel it” between them, adding, “He makes a really good first impression. Very sincere.
