71-Year-Old Widower Named as ABC's First 'Golden Bachelor'

Gerry Turner, a 71-year-old retired restaurateur from Indiana, will star as the first 'Golden Bachelor' on ABC's new senior spinoff of 'The Bachelor'.
Turner lost his wife of over 40 years in 2017 and is now seeking love again with the support of his family.
The new show will follow a similar format to 'The Bachelor' but focus on contestants in their 60s and 70s looking for love.
Turner enjoys activities like hosting barbecues, playing pickleball and golf, and cheering for Chicago sports teams.
ABC has announced 'The Golden Bachelor' will air Monday nights this fall, though a specific premiere date is still to be determined.
