'The Golden Bachelorette’s Pascal Ibgui’s Halloween Costume Might Have Everything to Do with His Future on the Show

Warning: Spoilers for ‘The Golden Bachelorette’ season one ahead! Make sure you’re all caught up before reading.

In this week’s episode of The Golden Bachelorette, fans will follow leading lady Joan Vassos as she travels across the U.S. on the long-awaited hometown dates with her top four contestants. Among the men still in the competition are Pascal Ibgui, Chock Chapple, Guy Gansert and Jordan Heller.

But, ahead of the deciding episode on Wednesday, Oct. 30, Pascal gave a hint about his current relationship with Joan with his Halloween costume. On Oct. 27, Pascal shared on Instagram that he dressed up as none other than Joan herself!

For the costume, Pascal wore a body-hugging gold bodycon dress, golden strappy heels and a curly blonde wig. For the photo, he also held up a gold-painted rose. Talk about commitment, right?

“Pascal, will you accept this rose 🌹😉,” he wrote in the caption.

In his comment section, fans of the hair salon owner are freaking out over the outfit.

“It takes a real man with confidence to be able to dress as a woman for Halloween,” one commenter wrote. “Sense of humor is key to a great life full of adventure and fun!” “Pascal…how are you not taken yet?!” questioned another. “You are GOLDEN😆💛⭐️.”

From the outfit, fans can draw some conclusions about Pascal and Joan’s future. Either they’re still together and are having fun poking fun at each other on Halloween, or the two ended their relationship on good terms. After all, no one would dress up as their ex they hate for Halloween, right?

And, according to a September 18 post from Bachelor Nation insider RealitySteve — which also revealed the alleged winner of The Golden Bachelorette — the latter option is what really went down. Per the insider, Pascal chose to leave during hometown week because he wasn’t in love with Joan.

In other words, while viewers are likely in for a Pascal and Joan breakup this Wednesday, his hilarious costume basically confirms that it ended pretty amicably between them.

All About Pascal Ibgui

Pascal, 69, grew up in Paris but moved to the U.S. when he was 22. Despite not speaking English at the time, Pascal managed to find success and has been living in Chicago for over 30 years. He is the owner of the hair salon PascalPourElle.

While Pascal has been private about his past romances, we do know that he has three children — Natalie Crystalle, Maxim, and Sara Ibgui.

His son, Maxim, made a brief appearance on the show via a video message to his dad. “Dad, I just want to say how thrilled I am for you to have been given this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Joan, I can’t wait to meet you when my dad brings you back,” he said in the video, adding in a joke: “One more thing. I promise I won’t have any parties at the house this Saturday at 10 p.m. I love you, dad. Kill it.”

Pascal’s daughter, Natalie, also defended him from haters in a TikTok video.

“All the people that talked smack about my dad PASCAL from The Golden Bachelorette without knowing his life story,” she wrote in the video. “I’ll always have my dad’s back … that’s a fact,” she added in the caption.
