Golden Bachelor, Gerry Turner, known for his appearance on the popular reality TV show, married his final rose recipient Theresa Nist in January 2024, but sadly, the couple divorced just three months later. However, Turner has now found love again with Lana, a retired educator, as revealed earlier this month. The 73-year-old reality star opened up to PEOPLE about the blossoming relationship with Lana, describing it as full of ‘comfort’ and ‘peace.’
The couple has wasted no time in exploring their adventurous sides, embarking on weekend trips almost every week since they started dating in March. From attending sports events to visiting new cities like St. Louis and Charlotte, their shared love for travel has brought them even closer. Turner shared that they have plans to visit Wimbledon in London and explore Paris in July. Despite their love for adventure, they also find joy in simple activities like playing golf and taking long walks.
Living just 20 minutes away from Turner’s youngest daughter in Indiana, the couple enjoys spending time at home as well. Turner mentioned that they often indulge in their shared love for desserts, even checking out the dessert menu before the main course. They are considering buying a house together in the future and have already started ‘fantasy house shopping’ to see if their tastes align.
Having both been married twice before, Turner and Lana are taking their time with their relationship. While marriage may not be a top priority for them at the moment, they are open to the idea of a long-term committed relationship. Turner expressed his happiness in finding someone like Lana, emphasizing how their shared sense of humour and Midwestern background have created a strong bond between them.
Turner’s previous marriage to Nist ended due to conflicting preferences on where to live, with Nist residing in New Jersey and Turner in Indiana. After the divorce, Turner made it a point to find a partner who was closer to him geographically, leading him to Lana, who grew up near his home. Their shared values and perspectives have laid a solid foundation for their relationship, making Turner feel at ease and happy.
Reflecting on his past and the journey to finding love again, Turner acknowledges the importance of being true to oneself and embracing the positivity that a new relationship can bring. As they continue to build their bond and explore the possibility of a future together, Turner and Lana are savoring the present moments of joy and companionship.
It’s heartwarming to see Turner embark on a new chapter in his love life, filled with adventure, laughter, and shared experiences with Lana. Their story serves as a reminder that love knows no bounds and can blossom unexpectedly, bringing joy and contentment to those who open their hearts to new possibilities. Here’s to Gerry Turner and Lana, on their exciting journey of love and companionship.
