New photos have emerged showing Bear Myrden, The Golden Bachelor winner, sharing a passionate kiss with an eliminated contestant amid split rumors. Fans are questioning who Barry ‘Bear’ Myrden chose at the final rose ceremony and whether they remain together.
Speculation has grown that Bear, a 61-year-old widower, is single again after parting ways with his winner, partly fueled by his own comments. This rumor intensified with unaired footage showing Bear locking lips with an eliminated contestant, adding confusion to the story.
Channel Nine released never-before-seen photos of Bear kissing Pip during the first group date, which took place in episode two. The date involved Bear re-enacting scenes from classic romantic comedies, such as Dirty Dancing, Grease, and Muriel’s Wedding, during a themed photoshoot.
Notably, Pip was edited out of the final televised episode for unknown reasons. The aired segment only featured participants Catherine, Nicolette, Jan, Gera, Hamidah, Sunny, Shamse, Elizette, and Katrina.
Unlike the other women, who were paired in groups, Pip, a 60-year-old hoist operator, enjoyed a solo photoshoot with Bear. Their shoot included recreating the iconic rainy kiss scene from The Notebook, featuring actors Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.
