The Golden Bachelorette‘s Mark Anderson might be off the market. His journey with lead Joan Vassos didn’t work out, but another famous blonde woman could have potentially stolen his heart. Mark hasn’t exactly revealed his relationship status, but his tight bond with One Tree Hill alum Barbara Alyn Woods has everyone on the internet talking — now more than ever.
This potential new couple first became a viral topic when Mark donned a Prince Charming costume for Halloween and met up with Barbara, who dressed as Cinderella. Her daughter Natalie Alyn Lind was even included. She transformed into Baby Yoda in the picture shared on Instagram. In the weeks since Mark and Barbara seem to have grown even closer.
In a new TikTok video, Barbara and Mark danced along to the trend song “Surf Curse” by Disco. Leaning into each other as they went back and forth, both were glowing with big smiles on their faces. “IN GOOD COMPANY,” the actress captioned the video.
Fans were blowing up the comments section. “Grandma Deb and Grandpa Mark?” one fan wrote. Mark’s daughter, Kelsey Anderson, was also quick to respond. “AWE,” she commented, clearly giving Barbara her blessing.
Some fans had some genuine questions. “Wait….so he’s not the next Golden Bachelor?!? But I was certain,” a fan noted. Kelsey’s “hot dad” has been a frontrunner to take over Gerry Turner‘s reign, and people are starting to wonder who will step up as the lead in a potential Season 2.
If Mark and Barbara are dating, we won’t see Mark in another Bachelor installment. But that’s okay! Bachelor Nation is happy about his apparent newfound love. Mark was previously married to Kelsey’s mom, Denise, who died in 2018. After six years, Mark decided to open up his heart again. While many thought he could find great love with Joan, it looks like Barbara is the lucky lady.
Do you think Mark and Barbara make a cute couple? Let us know in the comments down below.
