Golden Bachelor’s Gerry Turner Is Dating Again After Theresa Nist Breakup (2025)

“I think the fun part there is she has daughters that I really relate to, and she relates well to my daughters,” Gerry—dad to daughters Jenny, 50, and Angie, 42, with his late wife Toni Turner—continued. “So we’ve been around each other briefly. It’s been fun. It’s been a very enjoyable encounter.”

The Bachelor Nation star—who revealed in December he had been diagnosed with an incurable bone marrow cancer—also shared that his new girlfriend is inspiring him to be more spontaneous, including “a lot of travel.”

“The person I’m dating will say, ‘Do you want to go do…’” he said, “and before she gets out the rest of the sentence I will say, ‘Yes.’”

And those adventures are made all the more enjoyable because, as Gerry described, he felt a strong connection with his partner “almost the first time I saw her.”

“It was the look that she gave me,” he explained. “All of a sudden, I was consumed by this look and I had this actual physical feeling and I pushed it off. I go, ‘That was silly, that’s ridiculous.’”

But Gerry knows that feeling is here to stay. As he put it, “With every encounter that feeling has instantly come back with her look and it’s like, ‘Damn, this is pretty awesome.’”
