Overview
- The Golden Bachelor alum’s book, Golden Years, is scheduled for a November 4 release from Grand Central with new accounts of his on-show engagement, wedding, and swift divorce.
- In interviews and early excerpts, Turner says he had second thoughts and felt “trapped” before the televised wedding and argues he was unfairly cast as the “villain” after the split.
- He cites tension over expectations for post-wedding life, saying Nist wanted to keep working after he believed she would retire to travel together.
- Nist responded that the characterizations are hurtful and said she wishes he had ended things sooner, adding in a statement that “those in glass houses should not throw stones.”
- The couple married in January 2024 and finalized their divorce in June; Turner later disclosed a Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia diagnosis, says he is asymptomatic under monitoring, and is now engaged to Lana Sutton.
