Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner is dating again after his divorce from Theresa Nist. He’s only been dating his new lady for two months, but he thinks he’s the one (again.) He opened up about the agreement he made with his new girlfriend. Keep reading for all the details.
What He Learned From Golden Bachelor
Bachelor Nation fans were so excited when ABC announced a senior version of The Bachelor. Gerry Turner was given a second chance at love later in life after his wife unexpectedly passed away.
The season received praise from long-time viewers and people tuning in for the first time. The show was called “wholesome” and “authentic.” The season ended with Gerry proposing to Theresa Nist. The couple married on a live TV special two months after the season finale aired.
But the happy ending stopped there. Gerry and Theresa announced just four months after the TV wedding that they had made the decision to divorce. They have different views about why the marriage ended.
Gerry Turner recently chatted with PEOPLE magazine about how his life is going now. He was diagnosed with cancer around the time his marriage to Theresa ended. He revealed last month that he has a new girlfriend. How did dating on a reality TV show impact his view on dating? He told the outlet that he learned several lessons from the Golden Bachelor.
“I learned to ask better questions and be patient and see if the actions line up with the answers to the questions,” he said.
But it seems he didn’t learn how to take it slow when it comes to love.
Not Taking It Slow With New Girlfriend
Gerry Turner has only been dating his new girlfriend, Lana Sutton, since March. They met through messages on social media. Despite the relationship being new, they’ve already met each other’s families.
He said that his girlfriend is retired, so they’ve been spending every weekend together. He said on The Golden Bachelor that he wanted a partner who could travel. That wasn’t Theresa Nist. She still works full-time and has no intention of giving up her job.
Gerry Turner said that he plans to visit London and Paris with his new girlfriend this summer. “She’s retired, so she’s not tied down. On a moment’s notice, she could come here or if I go there,” he said about spending time together.
Gerry Turner Reveals Agreement They Made About Marriage
One of the biggest issues between Gerry and Theresa was where to live. In the end, neither of them wanted to leave their homes or families to move somewhere new. But he doesn’t seem to have that problem in his new relationship.
He revealed that they’ve already gone house hunting. Is marriage next? Gerry Turner admitted that a serious talk about marriage is for the future. But for now, they’ve come to an agreement.
“We’ve both come to the comfortable agreement that we both want a long-term committed permanent relationship,” he spilled. If he does get married for a third time, it probably won’t be on TV like his second wedding.
