Joan Vassos told ET why she believes her late husband is partially responsible for her being cast as the Golden Bachelorette.

debut, Joan opened up about how her late husband, John Vassos, inspired her to accept the role. John and Joan were married for 32 years, before his 2021 death, which came after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 59.

"Jesse Palmer, who I love and have gotten to know, Zoomed me. I thought, 'Huh, isn't that weird that Jesse's Zooming me. I thought I was having a meeting with the producer,'" she said."It was Jesse and I'm like, 'OK, something's going on here.' And then he told me, 'I hope you have some time this summer, because you are the first ever Golden Bachelorette.' It was crazy. I screamed, of course.

Despite being supportive, Joan's family, which is made up of four kids and three grandchildren, had one fear about the role.
