A 71-year-old retired restaurateur and widower is set to embark on a journey for love in the upcoming reality show, The Golden Bachelor. Gerry Turner, a father-of-two from Indiana, will be the first senior citizen to participate in this spin-off of the popular US dating shows, The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, which traditionally feature younger contestants. Having aired on ABC for over 20 years, The Golden Bachelor brings a fresh twist to the franchise.
Turner, who lost his wife Toni after 43 years of marriage in 2017, expressed his excitement about appearing on the show, stating that it still feels surreal. When asked about his late wife’s thoughts on him seeking a new relationship on television, Turner shared that he keeps her picture on a dresser in his closet, and each morning he nods to honor her. He also revealed that they had always encouraged each other to find happiness in the event of one of them passing away, so he believes she would support his decision to participate in the show.
It was Turner’s daughters who encouraged him to join The Golden Bachelor, hoping he would find a high-energy partner who enjoys activities such as pickleball and golf. With the show set to air in the autumn, fans in the UK can catch up on previous seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette on Hayu, and it is expected that The Golden Bachelor will also be available on the streaming platform.
By bringing an older individual into the spotlight of a dating reality show, The Golden Bachelor is breaking boundaries and giving audiences a chance to witness love blossom at any age. It’s an exciting opportunity for Gerry Turner and a testament to the enduring nature of love and the human spirit.
