Bachelor fans are ecstatic with the announcement of Gerry Turner as the first ever Golden Bachelor. The 71-year-old widower will be getting a second chance at love in the first senior lead series of the popular ABC dating show. Fans are particularly impressed with Gerry's youthful appearance, which has sparked a flurry of excitement on social media. Many viewers took to Twitter to express their admiration for his dashing looks, with some noting that he looks much younger than his age. The casting director for THE GOLDEN BACHELOR received high praise, with one user suggesting they deserve a raise for choosing such a perfect candidate. Others couldn't help but comment on Gerry's ageless appearance, comparing him to men half his age and expressing their newfound attraction to older men. Despite the initial focus on his looks, fans are also excited to see Gerry's genuine and sincere personality shine through on the show. Gerry, who was married to his high school sweetheart Toni for 43 years, lost his wife to an illness in 2017. He revealed that it took him some time to consider moving on, but he believes his late wife would want him to be happy. His two daughters, Angie and Jenny, encouraged him to apply for the show, and they were overjoyed when he was chosen as the first Golden Bachelor. Gerry is hoping to find a partner who shares his high energy and interests in pickleball and golf. The Golden Bachelor is set to debut in September on Mondays, and fans are eagerly awaiting the start of this new chapter in Gerry's life.
