“The Golden Bachelor” star Gerry Turner is still looking for love. However, this time, he is focused on finding it privately. Turner thought he found love during his season with Theresa Nist, and the two had a whirlwind engagement, wedding, and divorce. He’s back to dating again and revealed something very specific he wants to find in a new partner.
Gerry Turner Still Hopes to Find Love
On December 11, Turner talked with People about where things stand in his life now.
Turner recently revealed he was diagnosed with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia, which the Mayo Clinic describes as a type of cancer that develops in the white blood cells.
According to the Lymphoma Research Association, this type of cancer is “an incurable disease, it is treatable, and many patients have a long-term response to treatment.”
He told People that his diagnosis played a role in his decision to end his marriage to Nist.
Neither the divorce nor the cancer diagnosis are keeping Turner from continuing to look for love.
“I am absolutely, 100% still looking for my person,” he told People.
He continued, “If there is a message that came out of the show, it is that you’re open to possibilities and that you have hearts and you have hope and you maintain humor in your life.”
Turner acknowledged that his diagnosis makes it “a little more difficult now,” when looking for love again. He still has hope though.
“I think it would also be a confirmation if a person accepts me in the situation that I’m in, it would be pretty terrific,” Turner noted.
While Turner is still hoping to find love, he is not necessarily looking to get married again. “Knowing all of the entanglements, the legal entanglements, I really don’t know,” he admitted.
‘The Golden Bachelor’ Star Is Dating Someone
On December 12, Turner talked to Fox News Digital and provided an update on his dating life. He shared, “Currently, you know, I am dating someone, and I will continue my search to find my partner for the rest of my life.”
Some “The Golden Bachelor” fans shared their thoughts in the “Bachelor Nation” subreddit.
One Reddit user suggested, “It almost seems like he wants a caregiver rather than partner. I wish him well!”
“I hope I’m wrong but what I’m hearing is he wants a woman who will step up to the plate and be a full time caregiver,” another Redditor commented.
That person added, “As for [Gerry], I wish proper care and speedy healing!”
