The Golden Bachelor lead Gerry Turner's on-screen behavior and recent actions make him appear phony, causing him to be seen as one of the biggest villains of the franchise. Gerry joined the popular reality TV franchise as a young-at-heart bachelor looking for true love among twenty-two ladies who participated in the show. These women ranged in age from 60 to 75 years old. One of the most notable contestants included Patty James, the mother of The Bachelor season 25 lead Matt James. Another famous participant was Leslie Fhima, who became the runner-up.
Gerry's journey on The Golden Bachelor was similar to that of any other The Bachelor lead. He had trouble deciding who would be his soul mate and rejected ten ladies within two weeks. Gerry continued to pursue his favorites but struggled to choose between his top two. Gerry liked both Theresa Nist and Leslie but didn't make his final decision until last week. Ultimately, he followed his heart and chose Theresa as his potential wife. Gerry and Theresa celebrated their engagement in Costa Rica, and the two looked forward to starting a future together.

Gery Never Ended Up Keeping His Promise To Move In With Theresa
Gerry and Theresa tied the knot in January 2024 at the La Quinta Resort in Palm Springs. The bride looked stunning in her white gown, and Gerry couldn't take his eyes off her. During the ceremony, he professed he couldn't imagine life without Theresas, as she had become the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

The couple was excited about their honeymoon in Italy in May, but Gerry announced their breakup in April. Just three months after the wedding, they divorced, citing different lifestyles, which shocked the entire franchise.
Initially, Gerry had no issues with moving to Theresa's hometown of New Jersey, where she works as a day trader. He even discussed building a house with a pool for his wife, where all their family members could visit and have fun. However, Gerry never followed through with his plan to leave his home city of Indiana to live with Theresa in Jersey.
It seems that all his promises about not being able to imagine a life without Theresa were lies. He even considered splitting his time between two states but never made a real effort to join his wife.

Gerry Poses With Women
It's astonishing how Gerry went from being unable to live without Theresa and having deep romantic feelings for her to giving up on his marriage in just three months. What's even more shocking is that he hasn't shown many signs of suffering from heartbreak after splitting from the love of his life. In the past few months, he has been spotted grinning from ear to ear in different pictures with younger women - whether they're fans of The Golden Bachelor or his friends.
He recently mentioned how many ladies have been sliding into his DMs after his divorce.
Some of Gerry's pictures seem to be an attempt to provoke Theresa. He recently wore a t-shirt with the inscription "Indiana. It's Not That Bad" at a fundraiser, appearing to be a subtle insult towards Theresa, indicating that he doesn't mind toying with her emotions. Gerry likely used Theresa to be in the spotlight as The Golden Bachelor and is now reveling in the attention he receives off camera. He hasn't considered taking a break from social media despite his divorce. In fact, Gerry recently enjoyed "the nomad grandad tour" with a young female musician on the trip.
Gerry Turner Lied About Dating After Widowhood
Gerry Dated His Ex-Girlfriend Carolyn For Three Years
Gerry tried to gain Bachelor Nation's sympathy by claiming that he was unable to re-enter the dating world after his beloved wife, Toni, passed away in 2017. However, his former girlfriend, Carolyn, came forward and spoke to The Hollywood Reporter, claiming that they had dated for three years and even lived together for over a year
It looks like Gerry was simply attempting to manipulate viewers with a tragic story about being a widower. Unfortunately, it seems like The Golden Bachelor's true intention was not to find love, but to gain fame, viewing breaking Theresa's heart as mere collateral damage.
