Now that The Golden Bachelor's Gerry Turner finds himself single again, I'm certain the septuagenarian will break many more hearts before he finds his happy ending. Much has been said about the 72-year-old retired restaurateur, but no one can accuse the widower of being uninteresting or unattractive. The truth is, Gerry is a catch, which is why ABC producers cast him as the Bachelor spinoff's first lead. When he was first announced as the new Bachelor, single women in their 60s and 70s quickly applied, wanting a chance to win his heart, including The Golden Bachelorette's Joan Vassos.
After meeting and dating 22 highly eligible women, Gerry gave his final rose to 70-year-old day-trader Theresa Nist. Though it may have been wiser to keep dating, The Golden Bachelor season 1 couple got carried away by all the excitement, and tied the knot soon after. The marriage was in name only, as the couple never even lived together. They announced their divorce just three months after their Golden wedding. Now that Gerry finds himself single again, it's only a matter of time before he breaks another woman's heart.
Gerry Turner Should Have Moved To Theresa Nist's City
Did He Ever Even Love Her?
When Gerry and Theresa announced their divorce, they cited basic geography as their biggest relationship issue. Before joining the cast of The Golden Bachelor season 1, Gerry lived in Indiana, while Theresa lived in New Jersey. Neither was willing to move to be with the other. The truth is, if Gerry had really loved Theresa, he would have moved heaven and earth to make it work.
Since Gerry and Theresa both gave up so easily, it may suggest that neither of them were truly ever in love with each other.
Gerry Turned Lied About His Romantic History
He Wasn't A Lonely Widower
For anyone who cared to see them, the red flags were there all along. Part of Gerry's The Golden Bachelor season 1 backstory was that Gerry had been single since his late wife, Toni Turner, passed away in 2017 after 43 years of marriage. This was eventually exposed to be a lie, and it was revealed that Gerry had been in a serious relationship with a woman who had even lived with him for a time.
Theresa knew all of this when she married Gerry, so she was willing to overlook it.
Gerry Turner Seems Like A Player
Is He A Ladies' Man?
Since his split from Theresa, Gerry has remained single. In June, Gerry told TMZ that he wasn't ready to start dating again. He, however, then went on to say that his social media accounts had been "flooded" with women sliding into Gerry's social media DMs. It's not surprising that many women would be interested in the attractive, gregarious Gerry, and I have little doubt that The Golden Bachelor will break many hearts on his way to his happy ending.
