Pascal Ibgui’s Charm Has Taken Over ‘The Golden Bachelorette’: Get to Know Joan’s French Beau
With just four men left, Joan Vassos will have to decide soon which man she wants to spend the rest of her sunset years with. The Golden Bachelorette star has revealed that she is not quite in love with anyone yet, but she did say that she is getting there. Could the suave Pascal Ibgui be the man who wins her heart?
The French suitor has slowly become a fan favorite. Pascal has won over our hearts with his eccentric tendencies and his good heart. He might not know how to do laundry and a good night’s sleep without anyone snoring is important to him, but we love him anyway. Didn’t you see the guy cry after his “best friend” Mark Anderson left? Let’s hope the two buds have spent time together since departing the show.
As we get closer to the finale, you need a refresher on all things Pascal. Swooon is breaking down everything you need to know.
Where is Pascal from?
Originally from France, Pascal grew up in Paris. During his younger years, the 69-year-old business owner did not have the riches he can afford now.
Often speaking about haute couture, the fashionable European mentions brands like Prada and Gucci in just about every episode. He also famously said, “I don’t like to cook, I don’t like to clean, I don’t like to do laundry,” so he has really been able to embody the upper-class attitude.
Pascal moved to the U.S. when he was 22 and never looked back. He has visited France since then but has been happily living in Chicago for over three decades.
What does Pascal do for a living?
The Frenchman definitely has style, so it’s no wonder that he makes a living out of his stylish choices. He especially knows how to accomplish a great haircut.
According to his hair salon’s LinkedIn page, they have been in business since 1976, which would’ve been around the time Pascal moved to the U.S. On the salon’s Instagram page, however, it is stated that they have been in business for over three decades. Whatever the case may be, PascalPourElle has been around for a while. Located in Glencoe, Illinois, they had a second location in Glenview, Illinois, as well. He also sells his own hair products, Pascal Paris.
Has Pascal been married?
Pascal has been private about his previous romances. Not sharing much about his love life to Joan, it is not known whether he has been married before or not.
He has proven to be a certified flirt, so we’re very curious about his past. Maybe he’ll reveal more details in the upcoming episodes.
Does Pascal have any kids?
The Golden Bachelorette suitor is a proud dad and grandfather. He has three kids that he often talks about, Natalie Crystalle, Maxim, and Sara Ibgui. Posting photos of his kids all over his social media, he loves to spend quality time with them.

His oldest daughter Natalie lives in Canada. Sara goes to college at Loyola University, while Maxim goes to Indiana University.
Maxim made a cameo in the first episode when he recorded a video for his dad. In the clip he said, “Dad, I just want to say how thrilled I am for you to have been given this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Joan, I can’t wait to meet you when my dad brings you back.” He also joked, “One more thing. I promise I won’t have any parties at the house this Saturday at 10 p.m. I love you, dad. Kill it.”
Where does his relationship with Joan stand?
Joan and Pascal have a very flirty relationship. She even took him on one of the more upscale dates of the season. She whisked him away on a private jet to go to a private dress shop and dinner in the Paris Las Vegas Hotel. The special date and nod to his home country was greatly appreciated by Pascal.
Joan was surprised by Pascal’s ability to open up about himself and his turbulent upbringing. This formed a closer bond. Since then, The Golden Bachelorette hasn’t shown them interacting all that much since. However, Joan will be headed to the Chicago area to meet Pascal’s family!
What do you think? Will Joan pick him?
