Gerry Turner and Lana Sutton are making moves.
Just a few months after getting engaged, Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner and his fiancée bought the house they plan to live in for the rest of their lives.
Gerry shared on Instagram that the past year has been filled with wonderful moments – from traveling to strengthening family bonds and building a loving relationship with Lana. He posted photos of him and Lana with the keys to their new home, calling the previous day ‘one of the very best’ of the last twelve months.
Let me tell you, finding the right home can be a real challenge! But after a long search, my partner and I finally closed on our dream home, and it feels absolutely amazing. It’s such a rewarding feeling to finally have that key in hand!
As a huge fan, it’s just so wonderful to see them reaching this point! I was thrilled to see Joan Vassos comment ‘Wow! So happy for you both,’ and even Jesse Palmer chimed in with ‘Congrats you two!!!’ It really makes my heart happy to see everyone celebrating with them.
Gerry and Lana recently celebrated, just four months after getting engaged. They began dating seven months prior to the engagement.
I’m thrilled to share some wonderful news!” the 74-year-old announced on Instagram on October 3rd. “I’ve found the one for me on The Golden Bachelor, and she accepted my proposal! I’m so in love with this woman.”
Lana, a retired teacher, shared the exciting news on Instagram: she and Gerry Turner, from Season 1 of The Golden Bachelor, are engaged! She wrote about finding the man of her dreams and expressed her deep love for him, saying they are a perfect match and she’s incredibly proud of their relationship.
Gerry, who recently divorced Theresa Nist, the woman he ‘married’ on The Golden Bachelor, had previously shared how he connected with Lana. She reached out to him on social media with a kind message while he was dealing with a cancer diagnosis, and they began a relationship.
During a November appearance on The Tamron Hall Show with Lana, the author of Golden Years explained that embracing life as if each day were your last brings a special kind of happiness. She described how this perspective makes everything feel more meaningful, increases compassion and care for others, and can even lead to a deeply satisfying and passionate relationship.
They were simply looking forward to enjoying their retirement together.
He shared that they’re now engaged and have gone public with their relationship. He’s also selling his house, and their next move is to live together in Westfield, which is near her family.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve seen a lot of first impressions, and let me tell you, Mel Owen’s started off a bit rocky! Even before his season of The Golden Bachelor began, he faced some criticism after a podcast interview. He jokingly said he wasn’t interested in women over 60, and even added he’d prefer they didn’t have hip replacements or wear wigs. It definitely raised some eyebrows and sparked conversation before the show even aired!
I’ve been following their story, and it’s just wonderful to see! While his longtime partner, Peg Munson, is around his age, their relationship is incredibly lively – you can really feel the spark! He’s even told Glamour that she’s full of energy, and honestly, I can see why. They’re a fantastic pair, especially considering Peg’s background as a retired firefighter and bomb technician – talk about a dynamic woman!
Even though he didn’t kneel during his final game in November 2025, the athlete – who is also a lawyer – still proposed with a Neil Lane diamond ring, explaining, “This shows our dedication to each other and gives us the space to build our future together.”
Status: Engaged
Spencer Conley, who made a good impression on Jenn Tran with his friendly personality on The Bachelorette, found a connection on season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise. In August 2025, he shared a post with Jess Edwards (who previously tried to win over Joey Graziadei on The Bachelor) hinting they were falling for each other—a common way to say they weren’t quite ready to say “I love you”—and playfully declared he’d “already won.”
Jess echoed the sentiment, posting on social media, “Just really happy about this guy and everything!”
They were overjoyed! After deciding to prioritize their relationship instead of a $250,000 prize, they got engaged and were then surprised with a check for $190,000.
“Everything that we’ve been through,” Jess said, “has led us to this exact moment.”
Well, things moved pretty quickly! Falling in love led me to a big change – I actually ended up moving to Dallas! I shared the news during the After the Finale Rose special in November 2025, letting everyone know I’d be heading to Texas within a few weeks. It was a whirlwind, but so exciting!

Bailey Taylor Brown shared on Instagram in August 2025 that her date with Jeremy Simon was the best first date she’d ever had, following his appearance on the tenth season of Paradise. But could it also be their last? Bailey, who originally competed for Grant Ellis’s affection, and Jeremy, who almost won over Jenn on The Bachelorette, recently faced their biggest fight yet when Bailey discovered Jeremy had hesitated about letting Susie Evans go.
Let me tell you, things really blossomed for these two in Costa Rica! Even though their time on Bachelor in Paradise ended before the finale, they didn’t let that stop them. They continued dating after the cameras stopped rolling, and it’s getting serious! I’m hearing they’ve already met each other’s families and are even making plans to live in the same city. It’s so lovely to see a genuine connection thrive!
In a September 2025 Instagram post, Bailey expressed how fortunate she felt to have met her partner and shared her excitement for the future.

It appears that Andrew Spencer, who competed for Katie Thurston’s heart on season 10 of Paradise, and Alexe Godin from Grant’s season are still very much together after the show. Just six days after Andrew publicly called Alexe his “love” on Instagram in August 2025, she reciprocated, calling him her “sweetheart” in a post of her own.
Even though they picked love instead of the $250,000 prize on the BiP finale, they still received $125,000 as a parting gift.
Honestly, hearing Alexe say that was incredibly moving. They were leaving with more than just financial security; they found genuine connection and love, and that, to me, is the ultimate success. It really puts things into perspective, doesn’t it? It’s a reminder that true wealth isn’t about what you have, but who you share it with.
I was so thrilled to hear that Alexe is moving to Chicago with Andrew! The show just revealed their plans, and I’m absolutely buzzing with excitement for them both. It’s wonderful to see their love taking them to the Windy City!
In September 2025, she shared on Instagram that she’d found someone she connected with perfectly, saying she was excited to build a life together with them.
Status: Split
During the finale of Bachelor in Paradise, a difficult situation arose for Kat Izzo and Dale Moss when Sean McLaughlin claimed Kat had hidden a laptop and was secretly exchanging love letters with an ex. Kat, who works as a nurse practitioner, denied having any contact with him while on the show.
She asked if they were still together before this happened. He replied that they were, explaining he hadn’t expected to meet anyone new.
Despite being eliminated before the finale of Paradise, Kat and Dale continued dating. The show later revealed that the two—Kat, who was on Zach Shallcross’ season, and Dale, a former contestant from Clare Crawley’s season—traveled the U.S. together and were planning a future together, including moving closer to each other.
Dale wrote under Kat’s August 2025 Instagram post that things were difficult at times, but they got through it as a team, and he wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.
But their journey came to a close in early 2026.
Kat mentioned on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast in January that he wasn’t willing to move from New York City.
She said he didn’t see a future for his career in San Diego. She admitted she never fully understood his reasons for leaving, and wasn’t sure what truly motivated his decision.
Status: Just friends—for now

She shared that she and Gary talk constantly. Appearing on Bachelor Happy Hour in August 2025, she described him as a truly close friend – someone she can always rely on and call when she’s struggling. He helps her calm down and they consistently support each other, always having each other’s backs.
Even though they live far apart – she’s in Minnesota and he’s in California – she’s still optimistic about their connection. She explained that, for her, the most important part of any relationship, especially a romantic one, is building a strong friendship first. She wants to be with someone she considers her best friend as they both get older.

Kim Buike, a frontrunner on Golden Bachelorette, has found love with Faith Martin, who received the first impression rose from Gerry Turner. Despite being eliminated on season 10 of Paradise, the pair are still together. In August 2025, Faith shared a video on Instagram showing Kim enjoying a date with her in Washington.
Eventually, they came to the conclusion that they were better suited as friends than as a couple.
Faith shared in a September 2025 Instagram video that she and the other person communicate about two or three times a week, despite living five and a half hours apart. However, she clarified that they aren’t romantically involved—they never fell in love, but they did have a strong connection while filming the show.
Grant initially connected with 25 women on The Bachelor, but ultimately chose Juliana Pasquarosa. Unfortunately, the couple broke up less than three months after their engagement was shown on television.

Even though they’re currently in a long-distance relationship, they’re gradually starting to plan their future together.

During the finale of season 21 of The Bachelorette, it seemed like Jenn Tran, who previously appeared on The Bachelor, had found love with Devin Strader. However, Jenn later shared during the After the Final Rose episode in September 2024 that Devin became distant with her immediately after filming ended.
Jenn explained to Jesse Palmer that he had strongly declared his love for her, but the very next day acted as if those feelings never existed. She said all the promises and affection he’d expressed had vanished completely.
The situation escalated when Devin posted a 13-minute video on Instagram explaining his perspective. In the video, he took responsibility for his actions and detailed the reasons behind their breakup, which he’d initially shared during a 15-minute phone call.
Jenn said he ended their relationship during a phone call in August, but he insists she pressed him about what was happening while he was trying to tell her in person.
He said he hadn’t seen another option, especially since he wanted to tell her face-to-face. Ultimately, she made him reveal it sooner than he’d planned.
Let me tell you, life takes some unexpected turns! After her time on Dancing With the Stars, Jenn and her partner, Sasha Farber, really connected.

Okay, so I was devastated watching Good Morning America this April. Gerry and Theresa were there, and honestly, it was heartbreaking. They said they’ve been talking, really talking, about everything – their life together, where they were living, you know, the whole thing. And then Gerry just said… they’ve decided to get divorced. Like, officially end their marriage. I’m still reeling, honestly. It felt so final, hearing him say it. I just… I can’t believe it.

She was so touched that Aaron asked her mom for her blessing, she admitted she was a mess of emotions and couldn’t control what she’d say. Sadly, it wasn’t meant to last. The show revealed they’d had some struggles after returning from Mexico, and they eventually announced their split. Aaron shared on Instagram in December 2023 that they’re ending things amicably, with nothing but positivity and respect for each other, which is good to hear, even if it’s disappointing.
Despite previously expressing disappointment that her boyfriend, Aven Jones, hadn’t proposed in the traditional way—something he reportedly considered doing on The Bachelorette with Rachel Recchia—Kylee Russell accepted his proposal to try and make their relationship work on Paradise.

As she shared on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast in June 2025, she felt the focus should be on their love and connection, and she was getting too caught up in minor details.
