When Gerry Turner<\/strong><\/a> was introduced as the lead of the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelor<\/em><\/a>, he was depicted as the grieving widow of his late wife<\/a>, Toni. As fans anticipate who will receive his final rose, Gerry\u2019s ex-girlfriend detailed their past relationship<\/a> that began just one month after the death of his late wife.\n<\/p>\n

Who Is Golden Bachelor\u2019s Gerry Turner\u2019s Ex-Girlfriend?<\/h2>\n

On November 29, the former restaurateur\u2019s ex-girlfriend spoke to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a> about their relationship. Due to privacy concerns, the woman did not reveal her real name and went by Carolyn.<\/p>\n

Carolyn wanted their love story to be known after her good friend, Susan McCreary<\/strong>, was \u201cflabbergasted\u201d to learn that Gerry denied having a serious relationship after his wife\u2019s 2017 death<\/p>\n

When Did Golden Bachelor\u2019s Gerry Turner Date His Ex-Girlfriend?<\/h2>\n

Carolyn and the senior citizen ABC lead embarked on a nearly three-year relationship after they met while working at Vera French Mental Health Center in Davenport, Iowa. Gerry worked<\/a> as the building\u2019s maintenance man while Carolyn, who is 14 years his junior, was the center\u2019s staff accountant at the time.<\/p>\n

After working together, Gerry and Carolyn turned their work-friendly relationship into a romantic one and started dating one month after Toni died of a bacterial infection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen, we get the shocking news that Toni passed away, so most everyone at the office went to the visitation in July,\u201d Carolyn told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, adding, \u201cThen, in August, I got a phone call from Gerry. I was so shocked to hear from him.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Carolyn, Gerry asked if she could help donate Toni\u2019s work clothes for Dress for Success as he was going through her belongings. As a form of appreciation, Gerry took Carolyn out for dinner.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea that I\u2019d go out with a recent widower just mortifies me,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI just really didn\u2019t see it. Until I went back and looked at my text messages, I never realized Gerry\u2019s texts had turned hot and heavy so relatively soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI got LUCKY when you first said you would go to dinner with me two weeks ago,\u201d Gerry\u2019s text reportedly read. \u201cI mean how often does an old geezer get the beautiful girl?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ten months into their relationship, Carolyn moved into Gerry\u2019s dream home in July 2018 \u2013 which he intended to live in with his late wife on Big Long Lake. During their relationship, Carolyn introduced the reality star to her friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Carolyn and Gerry first started dating [in September 2017], my husband and I took them to an Iowa [Hawkeyes] football game,\u201d Carolyn\u2019s bestie Susan told THR<\/em>. \u201cI thought, \u2018This guy\u2019s legit. This guy\u2019s a really good guy for her.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Gerry has yet to publicly address his former relationship with Carolyn as of publication.<\/p>\n

Why Did the \u200bGolden Bachelor Gerry Turner and His Ex-Girlfriend Split?<\/h2>\n

Gerry reportedly revoked Carolyn\u2019s invitation to his high school reunion in October 2019 after she gained weight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not taking you to the reunion looking like that,\u201d she recalled, noting that she gained 10 lbs. of stress weight.<\/p>\n

Gerry\u2019s body-shaming comment led to their breakup and Carolyn had until the first day of 2020 to pack her belongings and leave the property. While moving out solo, Carolyn fell down the stairs and had to get foot surgery as a result. Gerry, however, believed she sustained her injury as a malicious act and made her live in a hotel for the remainder of the time she was allowed in his house. Although his demeanor turned cold toward Carolyn, Gerry told her, \u201cCall me when you get to your hotel, so I know you made it safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
