After the shocking news of his split from Theresa Nist, Gerry Turner, the charming star of The Golden Bachelor, has been keeping a low profile on social media. Fans and former Bachelor contestants have been buzzing with speculation about the reasons behind the breakup. From Nist’s demanding career to a clash in life values, theories have been flying. But Turner has remained silent, until now.
Finally breaking his silence, Turner responded to a fan’s comment on one of his Instagram posts. Amidst a flood of inquiries and well-wishes, one fan asked, “Heard you’re dating again!!!” Turner quickly shut down the rumors, replying, “Definitely not.”
In the accompanying snapshots, Turner shared moments with his loyal dog, Cody, and his 92-year-old father, enjoying peaceful times by the lake. The caption conveyed a sense of tranquility and family love, “My favorite time of the year on the Lake, and Cody’s too! In addition to her loving up on my dad and taking boat rides, she has the full-time job of keeping the geese off the shore. Summer is close.”

This declaration of his single status and focus on personal time may come as a surprise, especially considering Turner’s confirmed involvement in a singles’ night event in Fort Wayne on May 17. While it’s possible that Turner’s role is limited to hosting duties without any romantic intentions, it’s an interesting choice given his past reputation for bending the truth. From misrepresenting his past as a restaurateur to inconsistencies in his dating history after the divorce, Turner’s credibility has been questioned in various reports.
However, there’s a chance that the singles’ night event isn’t what it seems. It’s possible that Turner is taking this time to reflect on what truly matters to him after the breakup. His recent social media posts showcasing family time and personal growth suggest that he may be attending the event to kickstart a fresh chapter in his life on his own terms, rather than searching for love.
