The Golden Bachelorette season 1 contestant Pascal Ibgui is bringing his French influence and hairstyling expertise to the screen — and he’s also the father to three children.
“I have made myself a great lifestyle,” the salon owner shared during the premiere episode of the ABC spinoff series in September 2024. “I’m fortunate [that] I’m able to travel. I’m driving the car I want to drive. I buy the clothes I want. I live in a beautiful home. I would like to be able to have a partner to share my life with.”
While having his first conversation with lead Joan Vassos in the episode, Pascal pulled out a letter that was written by his son, Maxim. Pascal prefaced the message by saying that the note made him feel like he had “done what needed to be done.”
“Dear father, as you embark into your new journey, you’re going to kick ass,” Pascal read aloud, earning a laugh from the mom of four. “I believe in you. You are the greatest father. Thank you for the advice you have given me. You are my rock, I love you and I hope that Joan will be a good fit for you. Your difficult son.”

Natalie Crystalle
Pascal’s eldest child, Natalie, resides in Canada. After her father appeared on The Golden Bachelorette, Natalie addressed rumors that they weren’t related because of Pascal’s lack of pics of her on his social media.
“My brother and my sister are way younger than me and they live in Chicago,” Natalie explained in a September 2024 TikTok video. “So they get to see him all the time whereas I see him a couple times a year.”
Natalie continued by showing a slideshow of photos with Pascal and her siblings. She also displayed a photo of her son, who was seen getting a haircut from Pascal at the Chicago area hair salon.
“Why would I lie about that?” Natalie said of the speculation that she wasn’t Pascal’s daughter. “That’s, like, the weirdest thing, just to pick a random guy off a show, and be, like, ‘That’s my dad.’ That would be weird.”
