Golden Bachelor Season 2 lead Mel Owens may be a former NFL player, but ever since Night 1, a contestant with some serious MLB connections caught his eye: Carol Freeman.

The 63-year-old from Villa Park, California stepped out of the limo wearing a bedazzled FREEMAN jacket and tossed Mel a baseball, smoothly saying, “They told me you’re a good catch…hopefully we can both hit it out of the park.”

Turns out, Carol isn’t just a big baseball fan! She’s also the family manager and aunt of LA Dodgers player Freddie Freeman, who Mel admittedly loves! On top of their shared love of sports, Mel and Carol were also both married before, and both live in Orange County. In other words, they sound like a match made in Bachelor Nation heaven!

So who is Carol Freeman-Branstine on The Golden Bachelor? Here’s everything we know about Carol, including her official Golden Bachelor bio, Instagram, and more.

Who Is Carol Freeman On The Golden Bachelor Season 2? Meet Freddie Freeman’s Aunt

Per Carol’s official Golden Bachelor bio, she’s “a total girl boss.”

“After raising her three daughters, the pride and joys of her life, she went back to work becoming the full-time manager for her pro-athlete nephew, Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman,” the bio continues. “Carol also returned to college recently and is thriving as a later-in-life student. She jokes, ‘I now can get student and senior discounts!’ Carol has a life full of love and hard work, but she’s missing one important piece — a man by her side. For Carol, this journey is all about finding her forever, so here’s to hoping she can find that meaningful connection with Mel.”

In Episode 3, Carol revealed that she’s only had one boyfriend, one husband, and went on two dates in five years, so she’s having trouble opening herself up to Mel. After taking Golden Bachelor alum Susan Noles’ advice, however, it seems she may be ready to put herself out there a bit more. And after her comedy routine during Episode 2’s group date roast, we know Carol is capable of having fun and letting loose.

After losing her readers and failing to write a single joke before the performance, Carol winged her stand-up routine and said, “So I heard on the podcast that Mel likes to date 40-60 year olds right? That’s the first thing we have in common. He was looking for a younger woman, and I was looking for a rich quarterback.” Iconic!

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: Carol’s fun facts!

• Carol drinks more Diet Coke than water.
• Carol loves Bad Bunny.
• Carol is a skilled tambourine player.

A former NFL player and a Bad Bunny lover? Sounds like these two have a Super Bowl date in their future if they leave the show together.

Since Bachelor Nation’s go-to spoiler Reality Steve doesn’t have many insights on The Golden Bachelor Season 2, we’ll have to tune in to new episodes to find out how far Carol will go on Season 2. But considering she survived the first four three ceremonies, it’s clear she’s standing out to Mel!

New Golden Bachelor Season 2 episodes premiere Wednesdays at 9:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
