Summary

• Gerry Turner's scandalous behavior tarnished his wholesome image after The Golden Bachelor.
• Despite a whirlwind engagement and marriage, Gerry's lack of remorse and quick return to dating suggest he may not have loved Theresa.
• Gerry's cavalier attitude towards his relationships raises questions about his sincerity and the authenticity of his love for Theresa.

The Golden Bachelor season 1, the excitement surrounding his casting died down when his scandalous behavior became a part of the equation. Gerry had been sold as a wholesome father and grandfather, he was revealed to have had a troubling relationship after his wife’s ing that didn’t look good for his clean image.

Gerry and Theresa’s relationship was interesting for viewers throughout The Golden Bachelor’s inaugural season, and once their engagement was announced after the finale aired, things kicked into high gear. The couple shared during the live Golden Bachelor finale that they’d be getting married in a month and that ABC would be airing their nuptials with a live TV special. As things became more serious, the issues surrounding Gerry’s life before the show began piling up, making it clear that he wasn’t the person that The Golden Bachelor promoted. The real Gerry doesn’t seem to feel any remorse over the divorce.

Gerry Has Been Flaunting His Love Life Too Much

Though Gerry and Theresa’s divorce hasn’t even been finalized yet, the former Golden Bachelor star has been open about his love life after announcing his split. Gerry, who was originally promoted as someone who hadn’t dated after his wife died even though that’s since been disproven, has been upfront about the fact that in the future, he wants something different than what he had with Theresa. Flaunting his love life, Gerry hasn’t been taking any time to reflect on what happened on The Golden Bachelor or afterward before moving into the next chapter of his dating life.

Gerry Dipped His Toes In The Dating Pool Soon After The Divorce

While there isn’t a specific timeline for starting to date after a divorce, Gerry took the smallest amount of time possible to grieve his relationship with Theresa before moving back into the dating pool. Though Gerry’s time with Theresa was reportedly some of the best he’d ever had, The Golden Bachelor star chose to begin dating again almost immediately after his divorce from Theresa was announced. Although the exes have both seemed to be interested in moving on quickly, Gerry’s attitude surrounding his dating life was unbelievably cavalier, making me wonder if he ever loved Theresa in the first place.

Gerry Never Seemed Affected By The Divorce

Although Gerry and Theresa went onto a news show to disclose the details surrounding their split and share a statement about the change in their lives, Gerry felt almost entirely detached from their divorce otherwise. With Gerry withdrawn and seemingly unaffected by his whirlwind divorce from Theresa, I think his heart was never in the relationship. Gerry’s behavior makes it seem like he never loved Theresa, as he didn’t find it difficult to move on after their marriage ended. The Golden Bachelor doesn’t feel remorse about the show or his marriage, as it’s brought him exposure and more romance opportunities.
