In his latest Instagram post, The Golden Bachelor lead Gerry Turner made it a point to mention that he met a lot of fans this past weekend. Within Bachelor Nation, Gerry has quickly gone from a fan-favorite as the very first lead of The Golden Bachelor to a villain amid reports he lied about his past relationships. Making matters even worse, Gerry and Theresa announced they were divorcing after only three months of being married. The announcement stunned Bachelor Nation, especially since the perception was that a lead on a senior citizen dating show would be more mature.
In an Instagram post about attending a football game, The Golden Bachelor 's Gerry Turner emphasized that he met a lot of fans recently, seemingly in response to Theresa's recent post.
Gerry's social media posts have been far and few between lately, especially after the passing of his dog. However, he recently posted about attending a college football game at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, a pastime that the Golden Bachelor star loves watching. In his post, he made sure to point out that he met "wonderful people," presumably fans, that weekend and put an emphasis on "so many" when referring to how many he met.
In this Instagram caption, Gerry also spoke highly of Camp Randall Stadium, where the game was held, and the "beautiful" city of Madison, Wisconsin. He called the whole event a "blast" to attend. Included with the post were multiple photos, the first of which showed Gerry taking a selfie, with the football field behind him. He also posed with a statue of the football team's mascot, the badger. Gerry then included photos of the Wisconsin State Capitol Building and the waterfront.
LOVE college football. Camp Randall Stadium is a great place to watch. And, Madison WI is a BEAUTIFUL city. Thanks to all the wonderful people I met last weekend (so many!). What a blast.
What Gerry Turner’s Latest Instagram Update Means
Gerry's Instagram Post Comes One Day After Theresa Posed With Fans
It doesn't seem like a coincidence that Gerry decided to boast right now about meeting a lot of people over the weekend. His update came one day after his ex-wife from The Golden Bachelor, Theresa, shared an Instagram Story that showed her meeting a couple of fans. In her photo, Theresa could be seen with a huge smile on her face in between the two fans, who also smiled while holding beverages.
Gerry's reputation took a giant hit after he and Theresa announced their divorce back in April 2024. The Golden Bachelor star has tried numerous times to salvage his reputation, including posting a lot of happy photos on Instagram as he lives his life with family and goes on trips with friends. Unfortunately for him, most of the time, he's inundated with a ton of negative reactions in the comments section, even if the update is positive and happy.
Our Take On Gerry Turner Boasting About Meeting Fans
Gerry Didn't Need To Mention How Many People He Met
The fact that Gerry decided to include a mention of the "many" people he met over the weekend makes this latest update seem a little desperate. He didn't need to include that particular wording of "so many" in his caption. It appeared to be a direct response to Theresa's Instagram Story. If Gerry can present himself in a humble manner, that will go a long way toward starting to improve his reputation after The Golden Bachelor.
