Gerry Turner Announces Engagement to Lana Sutton

The Golden Bachelor alum proposed after a courtship that began in March 2025 following his brief 2024 marriage to Theresa Nist.

Overview

  • Turner revealed the news on Oct. 3 via Instagram, sharing beach photos of Sutton displaying a round‑cut diamond on a diamond‑studded band.
  • The pair met after Sutton messaged Turner on Facebook, connected over ties to Indiana, and had their first dinner date in March 2025.
  • Since spring, they have traveled frequently together, including a recent getaway to Toronto and Niagara Falls, and Turner has met her parents in North Carolina.
  • The announcement comes about 15 months after Turner finalized his divorce from Theresa Nist in June 2024 following their January 2024 televised wedding, with court papers citing irreconcilable differences.
  • Turner has publicly disclosed a slow‑growing, incurable bone or bone‑marrow cancer and says he is monitored regularly, while media note mixed public reactions to the engagement given his highly public prior split.
