Mel Owens has been thrust into the public eye ever since he was announced as the lead for Season 2 of The Golden Bachelor earlier this year. For the most part, he’s still been able to keep most of his family life private, though.

However, the new ABC star brought his sons, Lucas Owens and Andre Owens, out for a rare public appearance on Sunday, September 7, and a photo of the trio was shared on the official Golden Bachelor Instagram account.
