Overview

  • On the Aug. 20 Bachelor Happy Hour podcast, Theresa Nist spoke with Susan Noles and Kathy Swarts, who said Turner dated contestant Christina Kempton after his split.
  • Kathy Swarts said the relationship lasted about six months, and Nist said she had suggested Turner ask Kempton out.
  • Swarts also said Kempton read part of Turner’s forthcoming memoir, Golden Years: What I’ve Learned from Love, Loss and Reality TV, scheduled for Nov. 4.
  • Outlets note the timing of the alleged relationship is unclear, while Turner has been publicly dating Lana since March 2025 and Nist says she is currently single.
  • Turner and Nist married in January 2024 and announced their divorce three months later, and Turner later disclosed a Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia diagnosis that Nist says did not influence their split.
