The Golden Bachelor Gerry Finds Love Again After Whirlwind Divorce

On November 12, 2025, during a live broadcast, host Jesse Palmer revealed that Gerry, the first Golden Bachelor, was in the audience with his new fiancée, Lana Sutton. Gerry, now 74 years old, famously got engaged to Theresa during the first season of The Golden Bachelor, which aired in 2023. However, their marriage was short-lived, as they announced their divorce just 3 months later in April 2024.

Gerry later claimed that he felt "trapped" going into his wedding with Theresa, and that he was "made out to be a villain" in the aftermath of their split. Theresa, on the other hand, expressed sadness over Gerry's claims, stating that she wished he had just ended the relationship if he was unhappy.

Now, over a year later, Gerry has found love again with Lana Sutton. The couple was spotted in the audience, waving to the cameras and host Jesse Palmer. This new engagement comes after Gerry's tumultuous first marriage, which he has since detailed in his memoir, "My Golden Years."
