The Golden Bachelor<\/span><\/i><\/a> alum <\/span>Susan Noles<\/b><\/a> revealed that she wanted to date <\/span>Kelsey Anderson<\/b><\/a>\u2019s dad, Mark Anderson<\/strong>, after he made a cameo on the franchise.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we met him at your finale, of course, Susan elbowed her way in to see if she could maybe date the guy,\u201d Kathy Swarts<\/b> told Kelsey, 26, about Mark, 57<\/span><\/a>, during the Wednesday, June 26, episode of the <\/span>\u201cBachelor Happy Hour\u201d podcast<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n Susan, 67, interrupted to explain that she and Mark had been \u201cemailing long before that,\u201d while Kathy, 71, stated that Mark is a \u201csuper nice guy.\u201d<\/p>\n Kathy jokingly said that she wanted to pursue Mark after she heard such great things about him, though S<\/a>usan pointed out that he is much younger than them<\/a>. However, Kathy insisted that their age gap wasn\u2019t a problem by replying, \u201cSo what? I can go younger.\u201d<\/p>\n Not only did Kathy and Susan \u2013 who competed for <\/span>Gerry Turner<\/b>\u2019s heart<\/span><\/a> during the debut season of <\/span>The Golden Bachelor<\/span><\/i> \u2013 gush about Mark, but Kelsey also revealed she\u2019s supportive of her dad <\/span>having a \u201csimilar dating experience\u201d<\/span><\/a> to her after she met fianc\u00e9 Joey Graziadei<\/strong> during season 28 of The Bachelor<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cI want my dad to get out there. I want my dad to date,\u201d Kelsey said. \u201cI think that my mom really would want him to. My mom before she passed always said like<\/a>, \u2018I want you to find somebody else. I want you to find another love.\u2019 Before she even was sick she would always say this. She just knew that she was going to pass before him.\u201d<\/p>\n The former reality star added that she and her siblings \u201cwant him to be happy and find a partner to travel and do things with.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like my dad gave all of us so much love growing up<\/a> and he still does. I just feel like my dad deserves love as well,\u201d Kelsey continued. \u201cI think that loving your family is different than loving a partner. And I think that he needs that support of a partner, someone that\u2019s not his kid, not his brother, his sister-in-law. Like his best friend. I think my dad is deserving of that.\u201d<\/p>\n Mark was married to Kelsey\u2019s mother, Denise, until she died in 2018 following her battle with breast cancer. He made his reality TV debut during his daughter\u2019s hometown date on March 4, and fans quickly expressed interest in having Mark star as the next Golden Bachelor<\/em>.<\/p>\n While Kelsey is now supportive of her dad potentially dating<\/a>, she admitted it was originally hard to see him move on following her mom\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n
