LOS ANGELES — The first season of “The Golden Bachelor” is almost here and 72-year-old widower, Gerry Turner, is ready to show the world that love has no age limit.
22 women, ages 60 to 75 are ready to find a lasting love with Gerry in his golden years.
“People have a mental picture of what a 73-year-old person is and what they look like, which is not me,” said contestant Christina.
The women are here to break any stigma that people may have when it comes to love in your golden years.
“I think at our age, we’ve worked hard to build rich, fulfilling lives,” Joan said.
Just like Gerry, many of the women on the show had decades-long relationships, children, and grandchildren and are ready to open themselves up to someone else again.
“I don’t want to be alone anymore. I want to be in love again,” Theresa expressed.
