Leslie Fhima from The Golden Bachelor is talking about the chances of her getting back together with Gerry Turner after his recent divorce. The 64-year-old fitness instructor Leslie was a part of the 22 women on former restauranter Gerry’s season 1. When it looked like Leslie was going to win the season and Gerry’s heart, Gerry broke up with Leslie to choose Theresa Nist. Unfortunately, Gerry and Theresa’s wedding lasted only for three months before they announced their split due to location issues. Now that Leslie had her “golden” chance to become Mrs. Turner, she’s revealing what she had in mind.
Leslie was invited on the “Playing The Field” Podcast (via Eyewitness News ABC7NY) where she was asked if she would be interested in dating Gerry again.
Leslie was asked if she would “think about it” if Gerry called her today and asked if she wanted to give their relationship another shot. Leslie didn’t waste any time when she replied, “No.” Leslie said it wasn’t because she hated Gerry since she was “in love” with him at one time. She said she cared about Gerry, but she was “no one’s second choice, ever.” The window is now closed for Leslie.

Leslie Might Also Return To The Golden Bachelor season 2
Leslie said that she had not been on any dates recently. She doesn’t have any me sliding into her DMs, but some daughters were messaging Leslie asking her to meet their dads. For instance, The Bachelor season 28's Kelsey Anderson thinks that The Golden Bachelor contestants Leslie and Joan Vassos are the perfect match for her dad, Mark. Leslie revealed she met Mark at the finale, and she thought he was a sweetheart. Kelsey admitted she is old-fashioned when it comes to dating. She prefers men asking her out. Leslie showed interest in dating Mark.
“If they asked me yes, I would do it.”
Podcast host Jennifer Matarese mentioned how there are rumors about Mark being cast as the next The Golden Bachelor. She asked Leslie if she’d want to be a contestant on Mark’s season or if she’s interested in being the first The Golden Bachelorette. Leslie implied she was interested in being cast as The Golden Bachelorette, but the decision was not up to her. She suggested she had not been approached by the network. Leslie admitted she would make a great leading lady because she already has experience and knows what to expect and not to expect.
Leslie joked that she could do everything from getting into a bathtub to rappelling down a waterfall. Leslie knows that she is fun and is well aware of what she brings to the table. The Golden Bachelorette is coming to ABC this fall. Fans suspect Susan Noles, who was The Golden Bachelor couple’s wedding officiant, might become the lead. Kathy Swarts is also one of the names that keeps being mentioned. Now that Leslie has also shown an interest in the spin-off, viewers will have to wait for ABC to officially announce who will be the star of the historic season.
The Bachelor returns to TV with The Golden Bachelor, a romantic reality competition series created for ABC. The show will focus on an older generation of hopefuls, with one senior male hoping to court and win the heart of one of several older female contestants.
