When the curtain fell on the fairy-tale romance between Golden Bachelor’s Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, there was a collective sense of disbelief in Bachelor Nation. Franchise insiders sensed trouble in paradise early on. Some whispered that Nist and Turner’s fundamental beliefs didn’t align, while others speculated Turner harbored secrets too heavy for the limelight.

Despite the questions surrounding his divorce, Turner isn’t staying in the shadows. He’s already made headlines with news that he’s dipping his toes back into the dating world with surprising speed. Turner is set to attend the Fort Wayne TinCaps Love and Roses Night on May 17, sparking curiosity and, admittedly, a bit of excitement among fans and followers alike. According to IndyStar, the 72-year-old reality star will do a Q&A session during the event. A VIP ticket package, priced at $50, also includes a meet and greet with Turner, a ticket to the Minor League TinCaps game against the South Bend Cubs, and a Love and Roses wine glass.

Turner’s quick return to the social scene has garnered attention not only for its timing but also because of recent revelations about his past. Reports have surfaced suggesting Turner might have been a bit creative with the details of his career and personal history. Calling himself a “retired restaurateur” on the show, it seems his last venture in the restaurant business was several decades ago, followed by a diverse career path that took unexpected turns.

He also reportedly dated someone a few years following his wife’s passing, despite saying on the show he had been on his own since her untimely death. Others have gone as far as to accuse Turner of solely seeking out fame and fortune with his Golden Bachelor run — which the $50 VIP package bit of information doesn’t help.

While it’s hard to tell whether or not Turner is showing up to this (paid) event for the right reasons, it’s undeniable that his actions are stirring up quite the conversation among fans. The upcoming Fort Wayne TinCaps event offers a surreal opportunity for followers to get up close and personal, posing questions directly to Turner himself.
