In a stunning turn of events that has captivated Bachelor Nation, Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner has revealed he's found love again with his high school sweetheart, Lana Sutton. The announcement comes mere months after his highly publicised marriage to Theresa Nist ended in divorce.
From Golden Wedding to New Beginnings
The 72-year-old retired restaurateur made headlines last year when he starred in the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelor, ultimately choosing Theresa Nist in a romantic finale that culminated in a televised wedding this past January. However, the fairy tale was short-lived, with the couple announcing their separation just three months later.
A Blast from the Past
Now, Turner has surprised everyone by rekindling a romance with Lana Sutton, a woman he dated during his high school years. The couple recently made their relationship public during an appearance on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast, where Turner described their reconnection as "meant to be."
"We dated in high school, and life took us in different directions," Turner explained. "But when we reconnected recently, it felt like no time had passed at all."
Bachelor Nation Reacts
The revelation has sent shockwaves through the Bachelor community, with fans expressing both surprise and support for the new couple. Many had followed Turner's emotional journey on The Golden Bachelor, where he shared his story of losing his first wife, Toni, in 2017 after 43 years of marriage.
What's Next for the Couple?
While Turner and Sutton are taking their relationship slowly, the Golden Bachelor alum hasn't ruled out the possibility of another engagement in the future. "We're enjoying getting to know each other again," he shared. "But I believe in love, and I'm not afraid to commit when the time is right."
The couple's rekindled romance serves as a heartwarming reminder that love can blossom in unexpected places - even with someone from your past.
