Golden Bachelor's Mel: No Engagement, Just Genuine Connection
11 Dec
Summary
- Mel chose Peg, giving her a promise ring, not an engagement ring.
- Peg and Mel prioritized getting to know each other over engagement.
- Mel donated his pay from the show to a Detroit youth football team.
Golden Bachelor contestant Susan Peg, 62, shared insights into her relationship with Gerry Turner, 67, revealing he chose her but did not propose. Instead, he presented her with a promise ring, a decision Peg respects as they both aimed to build a genuine, sustainable connection.
During their fantasy suite date, Peg and Mel prioritized deep conversation over physical intimacy, talking for 12 hours. Peg explained her desire for a long-term relationship, and Mel's honesty about not being ready for an engagement resonated with her. She also noted Mel's integrity in not rushing the process.
Peg also highlighted a lesser-known fact about Mel: he donated his pay from 'The Golden Bachelor' to the Detroit Youth Football team, showcasing a generous side not widely publicized. The couple has since been spending time together, celebrating Mel's birthday in Las Vegas.
