Pascal was “speechless” when he first saw the “attractive” and “elegant” Joan, and The Golden Bachelorette star liked what Pascal was bringing to the table.

Joan called Pascal “very charming” and liked his “very sexy” French accent, and she noted, “I’ve been wooed tonight by a Frenchman. Maybe there’s some amour in our future.”

Joan then dove deeper with Pascal during a one-on-one date in which they enjoyed a Pretty Woman-inspired shopping spree.

Pascal opened up about his childhood during the dinner, and the conversation allowed Joan to see more of his heart instead of just his nice Gucci clothes and manicured appearance.

Joan called Pascal “a solid human being,” and she was happy to see a softer and more humble side of the bachelor during their solo date.

Pascal, in turn, said there was “no doubt” in his mind that he and Joan had a connection, and he gushed about their chemistry. Their date ended with Joan giving Pascal a rose.

Until The Golden Bachelorette viewers can watch more of Joan and Pascal’s love story unfold on the show, let’s learn some information about Pascal right now.

Below is a list of eight facts Reality TV World has compiled about The Golden Bachelorette bachelor Pascal Ibgui.

Pascal didn’t have it easy growing up and his family struggled

“I had a very tough childhood where money was always an issue,” Pascal revealed.

“We were living in an apartment where there were six in a room, two in each bed. We had no bathroom and no shower.”

Pascal was also resentful of his parents, who allegedly never hugged him or told him, “I love you.”

“They’d say, ‘Go play in the street,'” Pascal recalled.

At a young age, Pascal had the opportunity to move to the United States, and he apparently took the trip with a big hole in his shoe.

“I said, ‘I am going to be successful and make something of myself.’ When I came to the U.S., I didn’t speak a word of English… but I would look in the mirror and say, ‘You’ve got this! Be positive!'” Pascal shared.

Pascal says his family is his pride and joy

The Golden Bachelorette bachelor is a very proud father and grandfather.

Pascal has a daughter Sara who will be attending Loyola University in Chicago and a son Max who works as a DJ in Chicago.

Pascal also has a grandson whom he loves taking to the aquarium.

Pascal is the proud owner of Pascal pour Elle hair salon

When Pascal turned 21, he accepted a job in Chicago and planned to stay for three months. Five years later, after building a large network of clients, he decided to open his own salon.

Pascal has now owned and operated a full-service luxury beauty and hair salon in Chicago for over three decades.

The salon specializes in hairstyling, haircoloring, hair extensions, skin care, smoothing treatments and more.

After 10 years of development, Pascal revealed in May that he was launching “the best styling products around” in a new line called Pascal Paris.

Pascal says the hair products in his salon are superior to others on the market.

Pascal says he lives a life of luxury

Pascal says he worked hard to be successful in life and now he drives a fancy car and lives in “a beautiful home” that he’d love to share with Mrs. Right one day.

Pascal wants to spontaneously whisk his partner away to Paris and share the finer things in life with her.

In addition, Pascal loves going to the theater, trying new restaurants and attending concerts in his free time.
