Why Golden Bachelorette Mel Owens and Peg Munson Aren’t Fighting
Mel Owens And Peg Munson are still in the honeymoon phase since they found love The golden bachelor.
“We are 62 years old, there is nothing to fight about,” Peg, 62, said on the Thursday, December 11, episode of “Dear Shandy” podcast. “Like, old people shouldn’t fight, because you know what? There’s nothing to fight about.”
She continued, “If you fight, you’re just one bubble of a plum, come on. All the hard work is done, there’s nothing to fight.”
Mel, 66, and Peg found love in season 2 of The golden bachelorthe final of which was broadcast last month. Ultimately, Mel and Peg left in a committed relationship without getting engaged. Instead, Mel presented his current girlfriend with a diamond promise ring and the coveted final rose.
Mel agreed that he and Peg had few things to discuss because of their “similar interests.”
“I have my playlist and I say, ‘I know she’s going to love the playlist,’ and she loved it,” the former NFL star explained Thursday. “We have similar backgrounds and stuff, and she’s always dancing. I’m like, ‘This is my girl right here.’ It’s a lot of fun, it really is.”
Mel and Peg further revealed that they haven’t overcome any other major issues in their relationship either.
‘She lives in [Las] Vegas, and I live in Orange County, but today I flew in the morning,” Mel said of their long-distance relationship. “I was up and down so fast, I’m thinking, ‘Man, the time I woke up and the time I landed was like three hours, which would be faster than driving.’ That would be a small hurdle, but other than that, [there’s] not really [any].”
For her part, Peg noted that it has been “easy” for her to make plans with Mel since her retirement.
“I retired thirteen years ago,” explains Peg, who used to work as a bomb technician. “I’m back into my interior design and flipping houses in real estate. I’m taking jobs that I want to take, so it’s easy for me. It’s easy to do what I want to do when I want to do it. I’ve been blessed that way, and we both have our health to be able to do that.”
Peg and Mel, who both have children from previous marriages, found an unexpected bond in the Bachelor Mansion.
“Mel and I bonded early on. I knew it, and he knew it,” Peg shared exclusively We weekly in November of falling in love with the Golden bachelor. “We have spoken [the] fantasy suite and had great conversations. We got to know each other and that connection was there.”
Mel had expressed on the show his hesitation about getting re-engaged after his divorce, which fellow divorcee Peg wholeheartedly understood.
“You have to get to know someone before you commit to an engagement or marriage,” she said. “Mel and I are both realists and we wanted a real foundation and we want a real connection. We don’t want a fantasy land, [which] never comes true. We’re both old enough to know – and wise enough to know – that’s just not reality.
In the meantime, Peg said Us that the couple “made a lot of plans” together over the holidays.
“We’re going to Toronto and then Montreal, which I’ve never been to,” Mel teased last month. “So we go there and spend some time in those cities.”
