In a heartwarming twist that has fans buzzing with excitement, Susan Noles, the beloved breakout star of The Golden Bachelor, has officially announced that she is tying the knot with her new boyfriend, Frédéric, later this year. The news has come as a joyful surprise to followers who have been rooting for Susan ever since her graceful and spirited presence won hearts across America.
Known for her infectious energy, elegant charm, and unwavering optimism, Susan became a fan favorite during her time on The Golden Bachelor, where she competed for love in her golden years. Though she didn’t walk away with a final rose on national television, it appears life had other, more romantic plans for her.
A Whirlwind Romance That Captured Her Heart
According to sources close to the couple, Susan and Frédéric met shortly after her time on the show wrapped. Their connection was immediate, sparked by a shared love of travel, food, laughter—and, as Susan cheekily told ET Online, “the same old-fashioned values and a whole lot of dancing in the kitchen.”
Frédéric, described as a “charming and worldly gentleman with a French accent that could melt steel,” reportedly swept Susan off her feet during a chance encounter at a charity event. Since then, the pair have been inseparable, enjoying romantic getaways across Europe and cozy weekends at home with family and friends.
An Unexpected, Yet Beautiful Announcement
Susan took to Instagram on Sunday to share the big news with her 150K+ followers, posting a photo of herself and Frédéric smiling beneath a golden sunset, a sparkling ring visible on her finger. The caption read:
“Love found me when I least expected it, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Frédéric and I are thrilled to share that we’re getting married later this year. Thank you for believing in love, no matter your age 💍❤️ #GoldenBride #NeverTooLateForLove”
Within minutes, the comments section was flooded with messages of congratulations, heart emojis, and even a few playful jabs from fellow Golden Bachelor contestants, joking that Susan had “snuck in a real-life final rose.”
What to Expect From the Wedding
While the couple is keeping specific details under wraps, Susan did reveal that the ceremony will be “intimate, elegant, and full of joy.” The wedding is rumored to take place this fall in Napa Valley, California—a romantic location that holds special significance for the couple, having visited the region on one of their first trips together.
Insiders say the guest list will include close friends, family, and a few familiar faces from Bachelor Nation. And yes, there’s talk of a “rosé and roses” theme—because why not stay on brand?
A Message of Hope and Second Chances
More than just a love story, Susan’s announcement is being hailed as a beacon of hope and inspiration for those who believe that true love knows no timeline.
“In a world that often tells older women they’ve had their time,” Susan said in a recent interview, “I want to show that happiness, romance, and new beginnings are always possible. You just have to stay open to the unexpected.”
Fans and fellow contestants alike have applauded Susan for her fearless vulnerability and for proving that age is just a number when it comes to the matters of the heart.
As the countdown to the big day begins, all eyes will be on Susan and Frédéric—and their journey from unexpected encounter to everlasting love.
