Meet 'The Golden Bachelor'! Gerry Turner is 71 and will be the star of the next season of 'The Bachelor' later this fall. I'm very excited about this. Lol.
Gerry Turner, 71, is ready to prove that it's never too late to find love.
The patriarch from Indiana will be handing out roses when "The Golden Bachelor" premieres on ABC this fall.
According to producers, Gerry lives "in his dream house on a beautiful lake" and is "often busy hosting barbecues, playing pickleball, cheering on his favorite Chicago sports teams, four-wheeling and spending time with friends and family at restaurants and local haunts."
Gerry is opening himself back up to love six years after the passing of his high school sweetheart, Toni. The couple married in 1974 and lived a full and happy life with their two daughters, Angie and Jenny, and later two granddaughters, Charlee and Payton. Toni fell ill and passed away in 2017. She had been retired for just six weeks.
