Gerry Turner, the inaugural Golden Bachelor, has captured hearts worldwide in his epic search for love on reality love.

But while all of us have been falling for Gerry and his sweet and genuine demeanor, has he fallen for any of the beautiful ladies who left vying for his heart?

The charming 72-year-old Bachelor spoke with Extra and admitted that the process has been getting harder and harder by the week, and taking a toll on his heart.

The final rose from Golden Bachelor Gerry

Gerry has been out of the dating game for the past 50 years, and now he’s suddenly jumped into the deep end of the dating pool with 25 stunning and accomplished women. They were all eager to see if they can find love with him.

“It’s incredibly difficult,” he shared. “There are moments when you look at it, and you go, ‘I’m just so overwhelmed. I don’t have the input to make the decision,’ and then there are moments that are just ridiculously fun.”

And yes, Gerry thinks he may have found “the one” but notes that it’s “still probationary.” It’s a healthy way of looking at it, considering he appears to have developed strong feelings for all the remaining ladies.

And they have strong feelings for him, too. Leslie, 64, is trying to remain hopeful that she will be the recipient of the final rose. She shared that he was amazing and “there’s a lot of chemistry between us. I’m crazy about him.”

Breaking all the rules

“It’s so hard for any one of the individuals to watch me go off with the others,” Gerry admitted. “I don’t think it’s jealousy, just more that their heart has become more and more committed and just wrenches them a bit to see that happen.”

And Gerry admits it’s easy to get swept away by emotions. He revealed that his own emotions have caused him to break all the rules his daughter laid down before the show — like kissing on the first date.

“The affection I’ve had for everyone here, the kisses are more on a joyous, celebratory level,” he explained. “Showing affection but not showing passion or lust. I think we’ve all been comfortable with our level of intimacy.”

So, who will get that final rose? We’ll have to wait and see.

The Golden Bachelor airs on Thursdays on ABC.

RHONY’s Erin Lichy Defends Husband Abe After He ‘Joked’ He Would Cheat On Her

During Season 14, Real Housewives of New York City stars Erin Lichy and Sai De Silva double-dated with their husbands. The ladies brought up Jessel Taank and Pavit Randhawa’s sexual drought. When asked what their husbands would do in that situation, Abe Lichy piped up and said, “I would f*ck other women. I’m just saying.”

And let’s not forget that Brynn Whitfield was dragged by Erin for flirting with Abe the Babe during their vow renewal. But Abe was flirting and laughing during the exchange. Did Abe catch any of Erin’s fury? Doubtful.

Erin and Abe spoke to The Daily Dish to clear up any misunderstandings about their marriage. Abe definitely wanted to address the “f*ck other women comment.”

“I know you, so to me it was funny and silly and like a joke, clearly, and I think to like our friends or anyone who knows you, it’s a joke. Because people don’t know you that well yet, like the Bravo fans, it seemed like, ‘Oh, so you’re going to cheat?'” Erin remarked.

Both Abe and Erin claimed that they were unaware of Jessel’s painful IVF journey. Abe said, “If we had known that, you know it would have been a completely different situation because the way it [was] being talked about was in that more playful way. Seeing the IVF struggles, I really felt for her, and I felt bad that it came off like that to her and that it might have hurt her.”

Erin explained that they would never want to criticize someone’s marriage. Did you watch this season, Erin? She stated, “It’s not something we would do. I think we’re being more playful with it and then I think got more real, you know, and once I saw that she was upset, I was like, ‘Oh my God,’ I never want her to be upset.” 

Viewers didn’t see enough of the real Abe

Abe also felt that RHONY viewers didn’t see a balanced picture of him, only snippets of “crass jokes.” He called the notion that he would cheat on Erin “ridiculous.” Abe said, “To see my reputation slandered like that was annoying because it’s just not who I am.” Then maybe you should watch what you say on camera? Just a thought.

“We’ve been together 13 years and we’ve been through a lot together and while we’re not, you know, perfect, as no couple is, we have a very strong relationship,” Abe stated.

He continued, “Our lives really do revolve around our family. We spend a lot of time with our children. On the show, there are all these little snippets of us, you know, how can we get away from the kids?” Abe said that the couple does enjoy spending some time alone together, but most of the time they spend hanging with their children.

TELL US – DO YOU FEEL LIKE ABE WOULD CHEAT ON ERIN? DO YOU AGREE THAT VIEWERS DIDN’T SEE ENOUGH OF ABE’S TOTAL PERSONALITY?

Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney Discuss ‘Fresh’ Pump Rules Season 11

Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix are making moves, and more power to them. The two have had a rough go in the last couple of seasons of Vanderpump Rules. Between Katie’s divorce from Tom Schwartz and Ariana’s breakup with Tom Sandoval, the two had their hands full.

But like any good comeback story, the friends are attempting to turn tragedy into triumph. They made it clear that their exes wouldn’t leave them high and dry or in the dust.

So, since Season 10 ended, Ariana and Katie have stuck together like bark on a tree. Still, Season 11 has reportedly been the most difficult for any of the cast members to film thus far. Katie and Ariana have recently given some insight into the highs and lows of filming over the past year.

Katie admitted that returning to film VPR Season 11 was challenging. “I feel like it still felt really fresh. Even though it had been a few months,” she told OK!. She further reported, “Not enough life had been lived in between seasons.” With wounds feeling so fresh, Season 11’s may feel intensified.

On the other hand, without much more lived experience between seasons, things may feel similar to Season 10. Regardless, Ariana and Katie did have something to feel excited about going into Season 11—the progression of Something About Her. “It’s been great because we’ve had the same vision for what we want to accomplish and how we want things to be,” Ariana reported.

The pair also highlighted their desire to promote other female-led businesses. Ariana explained, “Whether it’s women-owned wine brands or any way we can incorporate that into our business, we’re definitely all about that because it’s very difficult to be taken seriously or to be given the opportunity as women in the business world.”

Vanderpump Rules Season 11 is expected to air on Bravo in early 2024.
