Get your popcorn out Hoosiers, ABC’s first Golden Bachelor is an Indiana native!
After more than 20 years on air, ABC is debuting a new spinoff in its Bachelor franchise: Golden Bachelor.
The new series follows one man in his “golden age” as he looks for a second chance at love from a group of eligible women.
This season’s bachelor is 71-year-old Gerry Turner, who hails from Hudson, Indiana, in Steuben County.
Turner was married to his high school sweetheart, Toni, for 43 years before she suddenly fell ill in 2017.
The two had two daughters and two granddaughters.
Viewers will see Turner share his love of barbeques, pickleball and Chicago sports with the women this season.
The Golden Bachelor airs this fall on ABC.
