Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner Ties the Knot: Love Finds Him in DMs
Golden Bachelor Star Gerry Turner's Love Life is a Hot Mess!
In a shocking twist, 74-year-old reality TV alum Gerry Turner has officially taken himself off the market after proposing to Lana Sutton in a romantic Instagram post on Friday, October 3. The sweet message was accompanied by stunning photos of the couple soaking up the sun at the beach, showcasing Sutton's dazzling engagement ring.
But what makes this news even more explosive is that it comes just 15 months after Turner's divorce from his ex-wife Teresa Nist, who infamously received the final rose on The Golden Bachelor in 2023. Their whirlwind romance ended with a televised wedding ceremony in January 2024, leaving fans wondering if their marriage was a genuine love connection or a publicity stunt.
Turner and Nist's relationship was put to the test when he revealed his incurable cancer diagnosis in December. In an interview with People, Nist broke her silence on the devastating news, stating she was "extremely upset" but had faith that Turner would make the most of this challenging time. She even went as far as saying she wished him a long and healthy life, sparking rumors of a possible reconciliation.
However, it seems like Turner has moved on quickly, and his new romance with Sutton is getting serious fast. The couple recently took a romantic trip to Toronto together, sharing photos from Niagara Falls on social media. Sutton's caption read, "Had a wonderful trip to Niagara Falls on the Canada side! Loved every moment with @goldengerryturner!" with the pair posing in front of the iconic waterfall.
But here's the juicy part: Turner first revealed Sutton's identity back in April when he confessed that their romance began after she slid into his DMs. He even admitted that he initially ignored her first message, but Sutton's persistence paid off when she reached out again, sharing a childhood connection – they both grew up just 20 minutes from each other in Indiana.
As fans of The Golden Bachelor are eagerly waiting for the next season, the show has officially announced its new star: Mel Owens, a 66-year-old former NFL linebacker who spent nearly a decade with the Los Angeles Rams. Owens is now on the hunt for love once more, and we can't help but wonder if he'll find his perfect match.
The news of Turner's engagement comes as no surprise, given his history of finding love on reality TV. Will Sutton be the one to stay by his side this time? Only time will tell. For now, let's just say that Gerry Turner's love life is a hot mess – but we can't get enough!
