The Golden Bachelorette’s Jordan Heller Hangs Out With Leslie Fhima

Jordan Heller followed up his recent Golden Bachelorette elimination by enjoying a fun night out with another member of Bachelor Nation.

Heller, 61, attended a Los Angeles Football Club game with Golden Bachelor alum Leslie Fhima on Sunday, October 27. Fhima, 65, commemorated the sports outing by snapping an Instagram Story selfie with Heller, which he reposted via his own Instagram profile.

The two sported grins while posing in matching LAFC jerseys, which featured their last names on the back. Heller shared a video featuring the customized merch in a follow-up Instagram Story video, as well as a photo he took with Magic Johnson and Will Ferrell at the game. “Things that happen in LA,” he captioned the star-studded pic. (The LAFC defeated the Vancouver Whitecaps FC with a score of 2 to 1.)

Heller’s soccer outing with Fhima comes shortly after he was eliminated by Joan Vassos on season 1 of The Golden Bachelorette. During the Wednesday, October 23, episode of the ABC reality dating series, Heller brought the show’s leading lady home to Chicago to meet his family.

While Heller seemed confident in their relationship following their hometown date, Vassos found herself conflicted over her remaining contestants. While she felt “very confident” in her connections with Guy Gansert and Chock Chapple, Vassos, 61, wasn’t as sure about her bond with Pascal Ibgui and Heller.

With Heller in particular, Vassos worried that she would be unable to break down the emotional wall he put up after getting divorced. She ultimately sent him home during the episode’s rose ceremony, sending the other three men through to the fantasy suites.

“I loved getting to know you. Time was not our friend, right?” Vassos told Heller while walking him out of the Bachelor Mansion. He agreed with her comments, adding, “I know. Time was not our friend.”

Fhima, for her part, also experienced heartbreak on the debut season of The Golden Bachelor, which premiered last year. After making it to the final contestants of the season, Gerry Turner ended their romance shortly after their fantasy suite date and went on to propose to Theresa Nist. (Turner, 72, and Nist, 71, split back in April just three months after they got married on ABC’s The Golden Wedding live TV special.)

During The Golden Bachelor’s season 1 After the Final Rose special in November 2023, Fhima told Turner that she felt “blindsided” by his decision to end things, stating that what he told her up to that point “gave me 100 percent certainty that I was your girl.”

Turner apologized, noting that he realized his “heart wasn’t ready” at the time.

Fhima and Nist, both currently single, reunited earlier this year. “Made my way all the way to Minnesota to visit my dear friend, the lovely Leslie!” Nist captioned Instagram pics of the pair from their outing.

Heller, meanwhile, has not addressed his Golden Bachelorette exit via social media but has shared several photos from his time filming the show, including several from his and Vassos’ ice-skating date.

“1 on 1 fun, not pictured; the embarrassing hard fall & the massive hip bruise!” he captioned Instagram pics from the duo’s episode 4 date.
