Golden Bachelor in Paradise

Now that The Golden Bachelor has ended, Bachelor Nation fans are dying to know: Will there be a Golden Bachelor in Paradise and who could be in the cast from Gerry’s Golden Bachelor season?

Golden Bachelor in Paradise would be a spin-off of The Golden Bachelor, ABC’s spin-off of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette featuring a single man as he dates a group of women aged 65 and older. “Some of the casting interviews we got, they were just so touching,” ABC unscripted executive Rob Mill told Variety in 2020 about why the network wanted to create The Golden Bachelor. “It’s such a different way of doing The Bachelor because these people are just at a totally different place in their lives. There is an interesting thing about people who have hit the other end of the spectrum, who’ve lived their lives, they’ve raised their kids, some have been widowed or divorced and maybe some have never been in love. We thought that would be an interesting dynamic through the Bachelor prism.”

Gerry Turner, a 71-year-old restaurant owner from Indiana, was announced as the Season 1 Golden Bachelor on Good Morning America in July 2023. “It’s never too late to fall in love again,” he said. Gerry is a father, grandfather, and widower. He married his wife and high school sweetheart, Toni, in 1974. They share two daughters, Angie and Jenny, and two granddaughters, Charlee and Payton. Gerry and Toni were married for 43 years until her death from an illness in 2017, six weeks after her retirement. “She got robbed,” Gerry told Good Morning America about Toni. “Every day that goes by, that’s the thought I have.”

The Golden Bachelor Season 1 finale aired in November 2023 as Gerry chose between his two finalists: Theresa Nist, a 70-year-old Financial Services Provider from Shrewsbury, New Jersey, and Leslie Fhima, a 64-year-old Fitness Instructor from Golden Valley, Minnesota. Now that we know who did and didn’t find love on The Golden Bachelor Season 1, fans have moved onto their next question: Will there be a Golden Bachelor in Paradise? Read on for what we know about if there will be a Golden Bachelor in Paradise and the top contenders to be in the cast.
