Michael Stevens, one of the contestants on the “Golden Bachelorette,” has revealed that he is texting Kathy Swarts, and he gushed about the former “Golden Bachelor” contestant.
However, Stevens revealed that he’s also texting other women from the show.
“I got to meet some of the women of The Golden Bachelor,” Michael, 65, said on the December 10, episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. “I had a really good time. Been texting a couple of them, just on a friendly basis from time to time, and hearing back from them, as well.”
Stevens then revealed that Swarts is one of the women he’s been texting, and he had positive things to say about her.
Michael Stevens Says That Kathy Swarts ‘Gets Kind of a Bad Rap’

Swarts was a controversial contestant on Gerry Turner’s season of “The Golden Bachelor” after she told eventual winner Theresa Nist to “zip it.” She felt that Nist was being insensitive by speaking about her connection with Turner in front of Swarts.
However, Stevens thinks Swarts is not like she was portrayed on television.
“You know who’s a really nice lady, who’s very sweet and I think gets kind of a bad rap, is Kathy,” he said on the podcast. “Very sensitive and easy to talk to and bright. We’ve been texting a little bit back and forth as well.”
Michael Stevens Said There Could Be a Match for Him

Stevens hinted on the podcast that he might find a match among the group of “Golden Bachelor” women.
“There’s a couple that might be a good match for me,” Michael teased. “We’ll have to see. I met some terrific ladies so far.”
He also spoke positively about Nancy Hulkower, another contestant on “The Golden Bachelor.”
“I think all the guys would like to meet Nancy, to be honest with you,” he said on the podcast. “She’s a beautiful woman and she seems really grounded, so that’s intriguing.”
Stevens said he got a chance to talk to the women at the After the Final Rose special, including Sandra Mason, and he said he’d be down for a Golden Paradise show. He said on the podcast that he would be “all-in” if producers decided to have such a show, which they have not announced at this point.
“I want my shirt on,” he said on the podcast. “Either that or I hit the gym for six months. Just live there, I just move in.”
