Kathy Swarts, a 70-year-old reality personality known for her appearance on “The Golden Bachelor,” has a rule when it comes to dating – she won’t date men who have never been married. She believes that such men can be selfish and prefers someone who has already experienced marriage. Despite this rule, Swarts still entertains suitors and has had interesting encounters with men reaching out to her on social media.
During an appearance on Jana Kramer’s “Whine Down” podcast, Swarts shared some of the interesting interactions she has had with men since her time on The Golden Bachelor. She mentioned receiving messages from a 32-year-old, a 40-year-old baseball player, and even a daughter reaching out on behalf of her father. Despite not hearing from all of them, Swarts appreciated the attention and even received a flattering compliment from a man in his late 50s.
Swarts was introduced to Bachelor Nation on the first season of The Golden Bachelor, where she was eliminated in week four. She had some drama with eventual winner Theresa Nist after accusing her of bragging about her connection with Gerry Turner, the star of the dating show. This led to a tense moment between Swarts and Nist, where Swarts expressed feeling dismissed and overshadowed by Nist’s perceived possessiveness.
After the show aired, Nist reflected on the drama, stating that she never thought she would be involved in such situations. Turner ultimately proposed to Nist during the finale, and the two got married in January. However, just three months later, they announced their split, stating that they mutually agreed to dissolve their marriage to prioritize their happiness and be closer to their families.
Despite the ups and downs in her dating life and reality TV experiences, Swarts remains open to new possibilities and continues to navigate the world of dating with her own rules and preferences. Her insights and experiences showcase the complexities of modern dating, especially in the context of reality TV shows like The Golden Bachelor and the dynamics of Bachelor Nation as a whole. Through it all, Swarts remains resilient and open to whatever life has in store for her in the realm of love and relationships.
