Barry Myrden, a 61-year-old Australian widower, completed filming for the first season of The Golden Bachelor, premiering October 20.

Barry Myrden, a 61-year-old father of three from Sydney, has finished filming Australia’s first season of The Golden Bachelor, though he hasn’t revealed if he found love. After his wife’s death in 2011, he was encouraged by his sons to join the show, initially declining three times. He sought a fit, active partner and emphasized wellness, sharing his passion for skiing, sailing, and exercise. Describing the experience as overwhelming yet rewarding, he praised the diverse group of women, admitted emotional difficulty saying goodbye, and expressed no regrets. The show premieres October 20 on Channel 9 and 9Now.
