Mel Owens, the 66-year-old former NFL veteran-turned-lawyer, is
gearing up to make his next big play as the second Golden Bachelor.

Born and raised in a close-knit Midwestern family in Detroit, Owens’
athleticism shone through from an early age. After graduating from the
University of Michigan, he was selected as the ninth overall pick in
the 1981 NFL Draft by the LA Rams. Following his retirement from
football, Owens transitioned into a career in law and moved to Orange
County, California, dedicating himself to helping others –
particularly those seeking justice for sports-related injuries. It was
during this time that he met his first love, and together they had two
sons. While life took an unexpected turn with the passing of his
father and the end of his marriage, Owens channeled his energy into
being the best father he could be, focusing on raising his sons and
coaching their extracurricular sports teams.

Now, after several years as a devoted dad, Owens is ready to
rediscover a love rooted in the simple joys of companionship –
sharing life’s everyday moments, making plans for the future, and
growing stronger together as a couple. As the Golden Bachelor, he’s
eager to meet someone who shares this vision and finally find that
perfect teammate he’s been waiting for in his golden years.
