The Golden Bachelor star Barry ‘Bear’ Myrden has provided a telling hint that he does pick a winner during Sunday night’s finale.

Bear’s Facebook bio lists him as ‘in a relationship’, appearing to confirm he is dating one of the women on the show.

The account, which is private, allows followers to see his relationship status.

Bear has long been a devoted father to his three sons, after losing his wife Audrey to brain cancer 14 years ago.

Although he is expected to choose someone in the finale, rumours have been swirling that the relationship may have already ended.

Bear has lived in Australia since 1998, when he moved to Sydney with his wife Audrey, who tragically died 14 years ago after a long cancer battle.

Viewers have been captivated by Bear’s journey from heartbreak to hope as he searches for love later in life, and Sunday’s finale promises all the tears, tension and romance fans have come to expect.

Fans are calling for a spin-off after one charming contestant won them over.

Transformation coach Jan Herdman, 66, has quickly won the hearts of audiences through her upbeat attitude, charismatic personality and incredible dedication to fitness.

However, the Sydney-based personal trainer was axed from the show after leading man Bear failed to form a romantic connection with her.

Shocked viewers are now calling for Jan to appear in her own spin-off series called The Golden Bachelorette, in which a group of refined bachelors would vie for her heart.

‘Bear’s loss. The next Golden Bachelorette!’ one person wrote.

‘You should be the next Bachelorette,’ a second added.

‘You were so dignified, articulate, and beautiful. Far too good for Bear. We look forward to seeing you on screen again,’ another chimed in.

Nine’s The Golden Bachelor is itself a spin-off from its American counterpart, and the US ABC commissioned its own The Golden Bachelorette in 2024, starring former contestant Joan Vassos.

Series host Samantha Armytage has said she would love to expand the franchise.

She told Yahoo Lifestyle: ‘As we say with this show, you don’t know what the future holds.

‘So I think let’s just get the inaugural Australian season to air and see how that goes… I think there is a bright future ahead for this show.’
