Carol Freeman, Amy Kaplan & More ‘Golden Bachelor’ Ladies Reunite for Night Out: ‘Season 2 Vibes’
Forever friendships.
Bachelor Nation got to know some incredible Golden women on the second season of “The Golden Bachelor” as they looked for love with Mel Owens.
Mel ended up falling in love and committing to Peg Munson, but that wasn’t the only love found that season.
The Golden women formed strong friendships with one another during their time on the show and have stayed in touch ever since, often posting about their reunions online.
This week, a few of the women reunited for a night out and shared about their time together in a new post on Instagram.
Carol Freeman and Amy Kaplan met up with fellow Golden ladies Carla Kemp, Andra Wicks, Lily Reeves, Nicolle Kate, and Maia Dreyer.
The group went out to a restaurant in Los Angeles for a nice dinner and took multiple cute photos together.
In addition to dinner, it sounds like the Golden ladies also enjoyed drinks and dancing and are planning to see more of the women from their season this year.
Carla wrote, “Golden Bachelor Season 2 vibes ✨ Cocktails, dinner & dancing with 7 of the fabulous ladies — can’t wait to see all 23 this year! 💃🏽🍸”
Cindy Cullers commented on the post, “I hope to be next! ❤️ Gorgeous” and Carla replied, “Let’s make it happen. 🥂” Nicolle chimed in, “ABSOLUTELY.”
So fun! We love these Bachelor Nation friendships, and it looks like everyone had a great time. We can’t wait to see more Golden reunions this year!
