The Bachelor's Kelsey Anderson Finally Reveals If Mark Anderson Should Be The Next Golden Bachelor Despite Backlash Over Red Flags

The Bachelor star Kelsey Anderson has been watching her father Mark Anderson’s journey on The Golden Bachelorette along with Bachelor Nation, and she’s finally weighing in on whether he should be the next Golden Bachelor or not. Kelsey, who met her fiancé Joey Graziadei during The Bachelor season 28, has been one of the loudest voices supporting her father Mark as he’s gone on his Golden journey. After being introduced during Joey’s season, Kelsey’s father became a fixation for Bachelor Nation, who wanted to see him as a.Golden Bachelorette contestant. Now speculation is rising over whether he’ll take the lead.

According to Kelsey, who struggled to see her father’s exit from The Golden Bachelorette during last week’s episode, she’s not opposed to seeing her father get the opportunity to be the lead of The Golden Bachelor in the future. “If that’s what he wants to do, I would fully support him,” Kelsey shared with Us Weekly. She explained that she’s been so proud to see her father's journey throughout his time on The Golden Bachelorette and would be excited to see him leading his own season. “He grew a lot from it and I’m just really proud,” Kelsey gushed.

What Kelsey Anderson Supporting Mark As Next Golden Bachelor Means

She’s Hoping He Gets What He Wants

Kelsey, who’s one of the five children Mark had with his late wife, has explained that she would be happy to see her father find love no matter how it happens. Though he wasn’t able to connect in the way he wanted to with Joan Vassos during The Golden Bachelorette season 1, Mark could easily make connections with other women in a season of his own. Kelsey explained that she knew it was hard for Mark to leave The Golden Bachelorette behind, though he knew that his connection with Joan wasn’t the strongest. Even so, Mark had a positive outlook.

While Kelsey has struggled in the post-season of The Bachelor with the way the media has perceived her relationship with Joey, she’s still someone who respects the process of the series. Knowing what she went through and what her father went through when they lost her mother, Kelsey is surely excited at the idea of seeing her father happily in love with someone new. Though The Golden Bachelorette wasn’t successful for Mark, he’s grown to be one of Bachelor Nation’s most beloved contestants, so seeing him lead The Golden Bachelor season 2 wouldn’t be surprising.

Our Take On Kelsey Anderson Supporting Mark Anderson As Next Golden Bachelor

She Loves Her Father & Hopes For His Happiness

While Kelsey could be rooting for her father to take on the leading role in The Golden Bachelor season 2 because it will keep her family in the spotlight, it’s far more likely that she just wants her dad to be happy. After losing her mother so traumatically, Kelsey knows the strength that her dad had to display for their family. Although his time on The Golden Bachelorette didn’t bring him the love Kelsey was hoping for, The Bachelor star would love to see her father find love for himself, whether it’s as the next lead or on his own.
