GOLDEN Bachelor Mel Owens and Nicolle Kate have shared an intimate moment in the pool while cameras rolled in a new show teaser.
Things got hot and heavy between leading man Mel, 66, and one of the 23 women competing for his heart.

On Tuesday, The Golden Bachelor‘s official Instagram account shared a preview clip of what’s to come on this week’s new episode.
Nicolle, 64, appeared not to waste any time getting to know Mel during a pool day, as the teaser showed her embracing him in the water while wearing a skimpy bikini.
Mel, who wore nothing but swim trunks, welcomed the affection, and the pair had a steamy makeout session while the other ladies stood by.
While most appeared to ignore Mel and Nicolle’s intimacy, Cindy, 60, broke down in tears about the blatant PDA.
“I don’t share men very well,” the retired biochemical engineer admitted in a confessional interview.
Terri, 71, also expressed her frustration about the moment, calling it “disrespectful” to the other woman vying for time with Mel.
“It’s kinda like disrespectful. It’s like, if you want to do that, go over to the side and do it,” the Austin native complained.
The clip ended with Cindy getting emotional on camera and saying, “It’s getting real,” referring to her feelings for the athlete.
Wednesday night is the second episode of The Golden Bachelor Season 2, after last week’s premiere.
That episode featured two rose ceremonies, in which Mel eliminated 10 total women: Andra, Carla, Diane, Alexandra, Lily, Lisa, Maia, Mylene, Susie, and Tracy.
During a recent appearance on Good Morning America, Mel teased whether he had found love on the show and confessed that he was “scared” about how viewers would perceive him.
Producers had a shaky start with the ex-professional linebacker, as an insider exclusively revealed to The U.S. Sun, he wasn’t the easiest to work with.
However, this was in comparison to Season 1 Golden Bachelor, Gerry Turner, who they said had a go-with-the-flow attitude and wasn’t as vocal with his needs.
“Mel has been more outspoken with his demands. Nothing too outrageous, but he isn’t as go with the flow or happy-go-lucky as Gerry,” the source explained.

Theresa and Gerry got married in January live on ABC. Four months later, the two announced they were getting a divorce.
They also revealed that production kept a “close eye” on Mel after he angered fans in June with his comments about cutting contestants who were 60 years or older.
Mel made the remark on the In the Trenches podcast, and he has since apologized after backlash ensued online.
Apparently, it was the ladies who stole the show anyway and “outshined” the ex-Los Angeles Rams star, according to an insider.
“Overall, producers are happy with how the season turned out. Everyone should be happy with it, but the show is polarizing, so you can’t please them all,” the source told The U.S. Sun.
“The ladies are the real stars of the season, and this will be a case where the contestants outshine the lead.”
The Golden Bachelor airs on Wednesdays at 9:00 p.m. EST on ABC and streams the next day on Hulu.
