Gerry Turner has handed out another rose.
About a year following the divorce with Theresa Nist from the first Golden Bachelor event, he has disclosed that he’s involved in a fresh romance. At this moment, he’s choosing to keep specifics of the relationship private.
On the April 15th episode of the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast, I excitedly shared, “I’ve found someone special, and things are going smoothly so far. However, I’m cautious not to jinx it and I’m being mindful about giving my relationship enough time to breathe, especially considering my recent divorce.
He mentioned, “Perhaps my idea is outdated – perhaps its significance isn’t as great as I believe, yet for the sake of courtesy, I feel inclined to approach it gradually.
In April, Gerry, aged 73, and Theresa, aged 71, who found each other during the first season of The Golden Bachelor and exchanged vows in a televised ceremony, announced their separation only three months into their married life.
Even though Gerry’s relationship with Theresa was fast-paced and now he’s embarking on a new romance, Gerry insists on moving slowly. Yet, they have begun to involve their families in their relationship.
Gerry, being a father to daughters Jenny and Angie, found it delightful that they seemed to connect well with the woman he was talking to, who also has daughters. He added, “We’ve only spent a little time together so far, but it’s been an enjoyable experience.
A well-known figure from “Bachelor Nation,” who disclosed in December that he has an incurable type of bone marrow cancer, additionally mentioned that his recent girlfriend motivates him towards being more impulsive, including frequent travels.
In a nutshell, “He indicated that when his partner suggests, ‘Shall we go…’, I usually respond with an affirmative ‘Yes,’ even before she finishes her question.
Those experiences became even more delightful due to the fact that, as Gerry put it, he developed a profound bond with his companion nearly from their very first encounter.
He clarified, “What struck me was her gaze. Suddenly, I found myself overwhelmed by that glance and experienced a very real, bodily sensation. I tried to dismiss it, saying to myself, ‘That’s preposterous, that’s absurd.’
I can’t shake off the fact that this connection we share is not fleeting; it’s permanent. To express it in my own words, “Every time I see her, that feeling springs to life anew with just one glance, and it’s like, ‘Wow, this is truly remarkable!’

In the final episode of season 21 of “The Bachelorette”, it seemed like former contestant Jenn Tran, aged 26, was finding her happily ever after with her last choice, Devin Strader. However, during “After the Final Rose” in September, Jenn disclosed that as soon as the cameras stopped rolling, Devin, who is also 28, turned cold towards her.
During the September 3rd episode, Jenn expressed to host Jesse Palmer that the man she was involved with would make grand declarations of affection one day, only to disappear and deny any feelings the next. She stated that all the assurances he had given her, as well as the love he had claimed to wish for her, seemed to vanish without a trace.
The situation escalated further as Devin posted a 13-minute video on Instagram, not only admitting fault but also explaining his reasons for terminating the relationship during a lengthy 15-minute phone conversation.
Instead of Jenn asserting that he ended their relationship over the phone in August, he stated that she asked him to explain why things weren’t working out, and he was trying to figure out how to tell her in person.
He admitted that he wasn’t sure what other choice he had, and he felt compelled to share the news with her personally. Essentially, she made the decision for him.
After that, Jenn strolled towards “Dancing With the Stars” and perhaps into the affection of her dance partner, Sasha Farber, as speculations about their romantic involvement have persisted since their elimination on October 29th.
