'Golden Bachelor' star Gerry Turner announces engagement to Lana Sutton
Gerry Turner, the original Golden Bachelor, is officially "off the market" again.
The 74-year-old reality star announced his engagement to girlfriend Lana Sutton in an Instagram post shared Friday.
"We've got BIG news. The Golden Bachelor is OFF the market. I found my perfect match and she said 'YES.' I love this woman," Turner captioned a photo of the couple by the beach as Sutton flashed her engagement ring, a round-cut diamond on a diamond-encrusted band.
Sutton shared her own post the same day, writing, "BIG announcement… we're ENGAGED!💍🎉❤️ The Golden Bachelor Season 1 led me to the man of my dreams… Gerry Turner!!! I love you, Babe, more than I ever thought possible!"
The engagement comes 15 months after Turner’s split from ex-wife Teresa Nist, who won his heart on The Golden Bachelor in 2023.
The pair married in a televised ceremony that January at La Quinta Resort and Club in California but announced their divorce just three months later.
Turner and Sutton went public with their relationship earlier this year, and a few months prior, in December 2024, Turner announced that he was diagnosed with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
Waldenström's macroglobulinemia is a rare blood cancer that results in an excess of abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow, according to the National Institute of Health.
