Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist announced their intention to divorce in April 2024. The announcement came just three months after they tied the knot in a televised ceremony. They were considered legally divorced just a few months later. Life moves fast for the first-ever lead of The Golden Bachelor. Just a year after announcing his split, he is ready to reveal that he has found love again. Gerry Turner says he is in a relationship.

Gerry Turner is in a relationship

Last week, Gerry Turner appeared on Bachelor Happy Hour to chat about life after reality TV and love. During the chat, Turner revealed that he has been seeing someone, and while he is ready to call the relationship “serious,” he’s trying to keep the details under wraps, at least for now. Turner has not revealed who he is dating, how he met them, or how long they’ve been seeing each other, but there have been signs that love was in the air for a while.

During the chat, Turner explained why he was reluctant to discuss his new love. He insisted that he wants to keep the relationship at least semi-private until an “acceptable” amount of time has passed since his divorce from Nist.

Fans of The Golden Bachelor may be shocked by the sentiment. It seems a bit out of character. After all, it was revealed that Turner began dating just a few months after his wife, Toni Turner, died suddenly. Turner’s ex-girlfriend shared scathing memories of her time with the retiree just days before the finale of The Golden Bachelor season 1 aired. Theresa Nist has suggested all is not as it seems with the first lead of The Golden Bachelor. She has hinted at darker causes behind her sudden split from Turner.
