Should Gerry Turner Date Right Now Or Focus On His Own Well-Being?

Golden Bachelor Star Is More Interested In Himself Right Now

While Gerry is sharing his travels on his Nomad Granddad Tour on Instagram, he’s been quiet about whether or not he’s indulging in new romantic relationships after his split from Theresa went public. Although Gerry and Theresa’s divorce came after only three months of marriage, their separation seemed to hit them hard. The former couple have shared that they wish nothing but the best for each other, but seeing either of them move on may be tough to watch. Gerry has been criticized by Bachelor Nation for the possibility that he could even begin dating so soon after divorce.

While Gerry and Theresa’s relationship wasn’t a long one, it appeared to be impactful for both of the Golden Bachelor stars. Theresa hasn’t mentioned moving on in the public eye, but Gerry has been open about still wanting to find someone to spend the rest of his life with. While he hasn’t explicitly shared details about his potential dating life, Gerry has been open about the fact that he’s looking forward to dating again, and he’s hopeful that something lasting will come along. At this point, Gerry should focus on his well-being before he dives into the dating pool again.

Although Gerry and Theresa appear to be focusing on reconnecting with themselves as they move through their very public divorce, the former couple hasn't been speaking up often about what their plans are for romantic relationships. While Theresa has been paying attention to her grandkids and sharing about their lives on social media, Gerry has been posting more about himself and what’s happening in his life. With Gerry being open about his intention to find someone else to spend his life with, The Golden Bachelor star is more interested in himself than anyone else.
