Golden Bachelor Season 1 lead, Gerry Turner, got engaged. And naturally, after he and Theresa Nist split so soon after tying the knot, many ABC fans had something to say about it. Read on for all the details.
The Engagement Announcement
The announcement came on Instagram on October 4, and Gerry Turner shared four photos. He and his girlfriend, Lana, who he soft-launched in April, were at the beach together, and they certainly looked cozy.
In his caption, Theresa’s ex wrote, “We’ve got BIG news. The Golden Bachelor is OFF the market. I found my perfect match and she said ‘YES’. I Love this woman.”
As you can imagine, the controversial ABC star found a lot of polarizing comments in the discussion area.
What We Know About Lana Sutton
Thanks to an update in late April, ABC fans learned much more about Lana Sutton. For instance, they learned that she’s local, which means they won’t have to deal with a long-distance relationship. Additionally, she’s a retired teacher and used to be a part-owner of a video production company.
In her mid-fifties, she and Gerry seem to enjoy the same lifestyle with traveling. While she never appeared on a reality TV show, the woman in her mid-fifties seems to be in love with one who did. Actually, she slid into his DMs.
When he launched his new relationship, as Golden Bachelor fans heard that he suffers from a form of bone cancer, his dating news took them by surprise.
Fans React To The Engagement
Some folks sent in their congratulations, but the majority of them slammed Gerry Turner because he’d dumped Theresa Nist. One of them wrote, “Good God lady, run and run fast.”
Here are a few more reactions from the discussion area:
Not Universally Hated
Judging by all the negative comments, one would be tempted to think that Gerry is universally hated. However, many people still think he did the right thing breaking it off with Theresa fast. After all, she didn’t want to relocate, despite hinting that she would during the show.
It takes two to tango, so one supporter wrote, “She’s beautiful! And you deserve happiness. I wish you both nothing but happiness together.”
Another one opined, “Do yourself a favor @goldengerryturner turn off the comments. Live your life the way you want to live it and be happy.”
