Golden Bachelorette's Jordan Heller Spotted With Leslie Fhima
Keeping it in the Bachelor Nation! Jordan Heller stepped out with The Golden Bachelor alum Leslie Fhima following his elimination from The Golden Bachelorette.
Jordan, 65, and Leslie, 65, attended the Los Angeles Football Club game together on Sunday, October 27, with the Golden Bachelor star sharing a selfie from the outing on her Instagram Story. In the photo, the pair snuggled up and smiled as they rocked matching LAFC jerseys. Jordan reposted the selfie on his own Instagram Story.
The senior sales executive also shared a video of the jerseys, which were customized to feature his and Leslie’s last names on the back. Finally, he shared a photo with Earvin “Magic” Johnson Jr. and Will Ferrell at the game. “Things that happen in L.A.,” he captioned the snap. The LAFC ultimately took home the win 2 to 1 over the Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Jordan’s outing with Leslie came days after his elimination from The Golden Bachelorette season 1 aired. During the October 23 episode of the ABC dating series, the Illinois native took Joan Vassos home to Chicago to meet his family. However, Joan, 61, wasn’t sure that they would be able to maintain their connection, as Jordan struggled to put down his walls following his divorce.
At the end of the night, Joan sent Jordan home, with Guy Gansert, Chock Chapple and Pascal Ibgui heading to the finale. “I loved getting to know you. Time was not our friend, right?” she asked Jordan on the way out, to which he responded, “I know. Time was not our friend.”
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight that aired before the episode, Joan — who also starred on The Golden Bachelor as a contestant — teased that she had already tried to set up a few of her costars from the show with men who were eliminated on her season on The Golden Bachelorette. Perhaps she was referring to Jordan and Leslie?
“Well, I’ve already made a match,” the leading lady said. “I’ve tried two. One is working. [I have] one that’s about to work, about to happen. You should see the texts I get from these ladies.”
Leslie was the runner-up on Gerry Turner’s season of The Golden Bachelor, which premiered in 2023. The Indiana native, 72, ended their relationship after their fantasy suite date. He ultimately proposed to Theresa Nist and married the New Jersey native in a televised ceremony in January. However, Gerry and Theresa, 71, called it quits in April.
“We’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to dissolve our marriage,” Gerry said on Good Morning America, revealing that they couldn’t agree on where to live. “The thing that strikes me the most and in our conversations it’s been how dedicated both of us are to our families. So we look at these situations and I think we just feel like it’s best for the happiness of each of us to live apart.”
Leslie, who told Gerry that she was “blindsided” by him breaking up with her during the After the Final Rose special in November 2023, reunited with Theresa in June. “Made my way all the way to Minnesota to visit my dear friend, the lovely Leslie!” Theresa captioned a photo.
Leslie commented on the post, “So happy you’re here and so is Minneapolis!!”
