The “Golden Bachelor” has been revealed. The handsome Gerry Turner is 71 and from Indiana. The format will be the same as the other shows in the franchise and will see Turner choose from a group of women 65 and older. The question is, will things get catty? Turner’s background is just as lovely as he is.
The “GB” is a retired restauranteur and was married for 43 years to his high school sweetheart, Toni, who suddenly fell ill and died in 2017. He has two daughters and two granddaughters. The tagline for the show is “It’s never too late to fall in love … again.”
The show has been brewing at ABC for a few years with the first casting call going out in 2020. COVID then put it on the back burner. The “Golden Bachelor” doesn’t have a premiere date yet, but will air at 10 p.m. Eastern.
