The Golden Bachelorette’s Mark Anderson may have a new lover!
On Oct. 27, One Tree Hill alum Barbara Alyn Woods posted a photo dressed up for Halloween alongside Mark, showing the two in what appeared to be a couple’s costume.
In the sweet snap, Woods wore a blue dress like Cinderella, while Mark was decked out in a royal mantle in true Prince Charming style. The duo also posed with Woods’ daughter, Natalie Alyn Lind, who was dressed as Yoda from Star Wars.
“When Cinderella and Prince Charming have a baby…🫅👸👶,” she captioned the post.
Kelsey Anderson, Mark’s daughter and the winner of season 28 of The Bachelor, commented, “So cute 💗,” further sparking rumors that her dad and the actress are dating.
“WAIT wait wait wait. What just happened,” one user wrote, with Woods proceeding to like it.
Another said: “My OTH and Bachelor Nation worlds colliding‼️”
Woods also liked a comment that read “OMG PLEASE LET THIS BE REAL🔥”

As fans may know, Mark was (spoiler alert!) recently eliminated from the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelorette, in which he was vying for Joan Vassos’ heart. The army veteran and father of four went on a one-on-one ahead of being sent home in episode 5, where he and Joan spent the day on a yacht together.
Before the date, Mark told the cameras, “I have not felt this good for the last six and a half years. And I feel like I’ve never been more prepared in my life. I’m ready to go deep.”
Joan, however, was not sharing those same feelings, saying Mark “checks so many of the boxes” but she hadn’t “gotten there yet” in terms of an emotional connection.
“He’s just quiet,” Joan said. “He’s very soft-spoken. We’re kind of formal, almost, with each other.”

On the date, Joan and Mark talked about where they saw their lives going, and Mark opened up about his final days with his late wife Denise, who died from cancer several years prior.
While Mark expressed that the date was “the best day I’ve had single arriving in California,” Joan was not on the same page by the end. “There still seems to be something missing,” she said.
The next day, Joan went to see Mark at the mansion to end things for good. “I didn’t see me in our conversations when we were talking, and I didn’t feel like I imagined an us… I need somebody who is as far along in their journey as I am,” she told him.
