    Netflix's dating reality series tend to focus more on drama than love, but its new show The Later Daters is full of heartwarming, adorable romance. Executive produced by Michelle Obama, along with the co-creator of Love on the Spectrum, the series follows six Atlanta-based people in their late 50s to early 70s as they embark on dating journeys. With the help and support of their loved ones and dating coach Logan Ury, the "seasoned singles" learn more about themselves and what they want as they search for someone to share the next stage of their lives with.

    Now that all eight episodes of the romance series are out on Netflix, following its premiere on November 29, fans are wondering how to keep up with the charming stars. Read on to learn more about The Later Daters' cast.

    Greg owns a construction business and considers himself a total catch, or as he says, a "beautiful marlin." He's been divorced twice and single for the past 12 years, and he's a devoted dad to his two sons, whom he shares with his first wife. Like many of us, Greg has become burnt out and frustrated by dating apps and ghosting culture.

    Supporting Greg as he searches for a family-minded woman with a "good, strong face" are his sons, Kyle and Ryan.
