Gerry Turner took part in The Golden Bachelor season 1 to give himself another chance at love and finding his soul mate. He was formerly married to Toni, his high school love, but she passed away in 2017, leaving him alone.

During an interview with People magazine on September 29, Gerry Turner explained that he is giving love another try:

"After all those years of being married and being with someone and feeling like part of the team, it's really lonely to be by yourself. There's reminders constantly every single day that you don't have anyone. You may experience the most beautiful sunset, [but] when you walk back in the house there's no one to talk about it with.”

Gerry Turner is 72 and has two children, Angie and Jenny. Fans can expect lots of exciting and fun moments from him in the upcoming episodes, as it's been a long time since he's been on a date. Furthermore, Gerry Turner explained how her two daughters are supporting him in this journey with the show, as he added:

"They just want me to be happy. They've given me a lot of support, and they laugh at some of the things that I say and do that [aren't] quite on point with trendy culture.”

The show premiered on September 28 with Patty, Anna, April, Christina, Edith, Ellen, Faith, Jeanie, Joan, Kathy, Leslie, Maria, Marina, Nancy, Natasha, Pamela, Peggy, Renee, Sandra, Susan, and Sylvia as cast members.
