The Golden Bachelorette contestant Guy Gansert has shared an update about his personal life. The 66-year-old former emergency room doctor appeared on Joan Vassos’ season of the ABC reality show, where he made it to the final two before Joan chose Chock Chapple. Nearly a year after the show aired, Guy took to Instagram to announce a new chapter in his life.
On April 1, 2024, he posted a photo with his new partner, Johanna Boston, standing together in front of a red heart sculpture at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa in Mexico.
“I HAVE FOUND MY PERSON ❤️” he wrote in the caption.
The post quickly drew attention from fans and fellow members of The Golden Bachelorette and The Golden Bachelor franchise. Many expressed their support and happiness in the comments, including former contestants and show host Jesse Palmer. Joan Vassos, the lead of Guy’s season, also left a message on the post.

Guy’s post-show journey and acting debut
After The Golden Bachelorette, Guy Gansert continued to stay connected with fans and show updates.

Guy also shared how meaningful the friendships between the male contestants were.
“The relationships between the men definitely created bromances. Everyone only wants each other to succeed. At our golden years, we only want each other to be happy,” he added.
He expressed that the other cast members would likely be supportive of his new acting venture and his relationship. His time on the show gave him visibility, and he used the opportunity to explore new interests after retirement.
