The Golden Bachelor’s Gerry Turner has made a smashing return to social media after his radio silence made fans question the reason behind his disappearance. Gerry made his dashing reality TV debut in 2023 to find himself a new life partner after the death of his wife of 42 years. Gerry chose to marry Theresa Nist, among the 22 senior women who tried to win his heart. However, Gerry and Theresa split three months after their on-air nuptials over a disagreement about living arrangements. Their divorce was finalized in June 2024.
Gerry Turner from The Golden Bachelor had disappeared from social media for several days, but he is back now. What was the reason behind Gerry going missing from Instagram?
Gerry had stopped posting on social media since news of his divorce settlement in June.
He’s finally returned and is revealing why he’d been extremely quiet on IG. Gerry wrote that he had taken a vacation to Orange Beach, Alabama for two weeks. It’s been “a couple weeks,” since he'd returned home, but Gerry had only just found the time to end his social media break. He was vacationing with his “closest and most trusted” friends. Gerry shared several photos with his large group of friends as they participated in several activities in the water sports hub on Alabama’s Gulf Coast.
Is Gerry Turner Slowly Restoring His Reputation?
Gerry's Critics Are Turning Into Fans
Gerry told his followers about how his vacation had kept him busy. He indulged in various things like golf, pickleball, beach time, biking, great Southern food, and watching the Blue Angels flying over the waters of Orange Beach. Gerry managed to capture all of his memories in fun photos. He exclaimed how he had a great time. He proceeded to thank his buddies and called them the best friends “a guy could have.” Fans enjoyed scrolling through Gerry’s photos. Someone recalled their own vacation to Orange Beach and told Gerry it was their go-to vacation spot.
A different fan said that Gerry was blessed with great friends and family. Gerry’s happiness in the pictures was infectious, and it seemed to have rubbed off on his fans. There weren’t a lot of critics in sight among fans who were glad that Gerry was enjoying his life. Gerry might have not actively thought of ways to shed his villain tag, but his little break paid off. Viewers were upset when the skeletons in Gerry’s closet were revealed, and he turned out to be completely different from the ideal man who was sold to them by The Golden Bachelor.
It might not take long for Gerry to redeem himself at this rate. Fans could choose to forgive Gerry even if they choose not to forget him lying to them. Still, his social media hiatus could have meant nothing at all. He might not have been regretting his decision to go through with the Golden divorce, but instead, pursuing his next romance in secret. His being able to go for weeks without using social media shows how well Gerry can keep secrets from fans if his hiding his three-year-long relationship and his real job in maintenance wasn’t already a sign.
