Joan Vassos is a TV personality known for appearing on the debut season of “The Golden Bachelor.” However, she left the show to assist her daughter, Erica, who was undergoing a health problem after delivery.
Thus far, the health complications Erica faced after her childbirth remain unknown, which led Joan to discontinue “The Golden Bachelor.”
Joan and her late husband, John Vassos, welcomed their daughter Erica Vassos on May 2, 1991, in Potomac, Maryland.
According to her Facebook, the 33 years old Erica attended Connelly School of the Holy Child and studied at American University.
Hailing from Potomac, Maryland, Erica now resides in Olney, Maryland, with her husband, Brent, and daughter.

Brace yourself to learn about “The Golden Bachelorette” cast Joan’s daughter Erica’s story of finding love in a hopeless place.
Erica and Brent, the coach of the Atlas Lacrosse Club (PLL Atlas), first met at a tiki bar on August 10, 2019, after her brother-in-law, Noah, introduced her to Brent.
It was love at first sight for Brent, and he instantly knew she was “the one” he’d like to marry.
On the other hand, Erica did her homework, checking on any mutual friends to learn if he was a “good guy.”
Later, Brent came to Arlington from Baltimore to take Erica on a real first date. Quickly, the little spark fanned into flame, and the rest is history.
After nine months of alternating between Arlington and Baltimore, Erica convinced Brent to move out of Baltimore.
Eventually, Brent got on his knees and proposed to Erica on April 10, 2021, which Erica obviously accepted with tears of joy in her eyes.
