The Golden Bachelorette premieres on Wednesday, September 18, and one of Joan Vassos’ 24 spunky seniors will have members of Bachelor Nation saying, “Yes, chef!”
Whether or not he snags the first impression rose, Jack Lencioni clearly makes quite the entrance in a bold pink blazer on Night 1, so we can’t wait to see what the season has in store for him.
The 68-year-old caterer from Chicago, Illinois, seems like he’s ready to wine, dine, and romance The Golden Bachelorette lead. So the least we can do is take some time to get to know the charming contestant.
Who is Jack Lencioni on The Golden Bachelorette ? And how long does Reality Steve expect Jack to stay on the show? We’ve got answers!
Here’s everything we know about Joan Vassos’ chef suitor Jack, including his age, official Golden Bachelorette bio, Instagram account, Reality Steve spoilers, and more.
Who Is Jack Lencioni On The Golden Bachelorette?
Per Jack’s official Golden Bachelorette bio, the 68-year-old caterer from Chicago has “an appetite for love.”
“The retired restaurant owner and chef has a big personality and loves spending time in the kitchen. Jack is ready to treat Joan like the queen she is and wants to cook a five-star meal just for her,” the bio continues. “The father and grandfather loves making people laugh and is looking to find his travel partner for life. He went on a solo trip to Italy last year and it made him realize that he truly wants someone to enjoy the world with. Jack is a big softie who just wants to tell his partner that he loves them every morning and every night before bed. He truly believes that love is within reach, and we hope he’s right!”
No spoilers, but you’ll be able to tell from the premiere that Jack is a man who knows how to have fun. Need more convincing? Fine! Here are his fun facts:
- Jack is a proud racquetball champion.
- On May 22, 1977, Jack was sitting in the front row at Elvis’ last concert in Chicago.
- Jack’s favorite treat is a cigar, twice a month.

How Far Does Jack Lencioni Make It On The Golden Bachelorette? Reality Steve Spoilers
Want to avoid major Golden Bachelorette spoilers? This is your chance to stop reading. But if you’re curious to know how long Jack Lencioni might stick around, we’ve got a Reality Steve rumor below.
In an August 27 Instagram post, Reality Steve revealed who he believes to be Joan Vassos’ final four contestants, and sadly for Jack stans, he’s not one of The Golden Bachelorette‘s reported Final Four.
As always, Reality Steve rumors are only rumors until we watch the season play out for ourselves. Bachelor Nation’s go-to spoiler has been wrong before. Remember when we all thought Daisy won The Bachelor Season 28?! And I don’t think a single soul saw the ending of Jenn Tran’s Bachelorette season coming.
You’ll have to tune in Wednesdays from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. ET on ABC or watch next-day on Hulu to find out what really goes down on Joan’s journey. In the meantime, be sure to read Decider’s interview with Joan Vassos for more Bachelorette tidbits.
