The newest spinoff in Bachelor Nation is The Golden Bachelor featuring Gerry Turner's quest for love. This time around, all of the contestants are in their golden years and they're ready to embark on a memorable journey.
Turner, 72, is a retired restaurateur, father and grandfather. He lives in his "dream house" on a lake in Indiana. Turner's wife of 43 years passed away in 2017 after a sudden illness. Now, six years later, Turner is looking for love again with the support of his family.
While it's a new spinoff, you might see a familiar face among the women. Contestant Patty is the proud Mom of former Bachelor Matt James.
