Kendall Jenner, known for her life in the spotlight as a model and reality TV star, surprised fans with her unexpected obsession with The Golden Bachelor, a spin-off of the popular Bachelor franchise. The show, which centers around 72-year-old Gerry Turner’s search for love, captivated not only a large audience but also one of the Kardashian clan’s most famous members. Kendall’s fascination with the show reached new heights when she had the unique opportunity to watch an episode with Gerry himself at a dinner party arranged by her mother, Kris Jenner.
Kendall Jenner’s Fascination with The Golden Bachelor
Like many fans, Kendall was hooked on the drama of The Golden Bachelor, particularly the inaugural season, where Gerry ended up proposing to 70-year-old Theresa Nist. The couple’s engagement sparked excitement, and their swift wedding plans culminated in a televised event. Unfortunately, just four months after their wedding, in April 2024, the couple announced their divorce, leaving fans shocked.
Kendall’s interest in the show wasn’t a private affair. She often watched the episodes with her mother, Kris Jenner, who was also captivated by the series. As avid fans, the mother-daughter duo eagerly followed the romantic twists and turns, trying to guess which woman would ultimately win Gerry’s heart.
Dinner with Gerry Turner: Kris Jenner Pulls Some Strings
Knowing how much her daughter loved The Golden Bachelor, Kris took it upon herself to arrange an extraordinary evening. Using her influence, Kris managed to invite Gerry over for a dinner party at their home, much to Kendall’s excitement. Accompanied by a friend, Kendall enjoyed the rare chance to spend the evening watching a new episode of the show with Gerry, the star of the season.
The dinner party was not only memorable for Kendall but also significant because of what she discovered during the night. While trying to help Gerry video call his daughters back in Indiana, Kendall accidentally glimpsed something on his phone that hinted at the season’s outcome.
Kendall’s Accidental Spoiler: What She Saw on Gerry’s Phone
During the dinner, as they tried to connect with Gerry’s daughters, Kendall saw something she wasn’t supposed to see. While handling his phone, Kendall noticed that Gerry had called Theresa multiple times. Based on the frequent communication, Kendall immediately realized that Theresa was likely the winner of The Golden Bachelor.
Despite this unexpected spoiler, Kendall remained tight-lipped about what she had seen. She didn’t disclose the information publicly or even to her mother, keeping the suspense alive for other viewers. Reflecting on the moment later, Kendall admitted, “My heart dropped when I saw her name,” but she never let on while the season aired.
Did Gerry Turner Flirt with Kris Jenner?
The dinner party wasn’t without its lighthearted moments, either. According to Kendall, Gerry may have spent part of the evening flirting with her mother, Kris. During an outtake from a June episode of The Kardashians, Kendall humorously recalled Gerry’s compliments toward her 68-year-old mother, mentioning that he commented on Kris’s smile, eyes, and energy.
Kendall, feeling a bit uncomfortable, even joked with producers that she thought it was time to leave the dinner party. When asked about it later, Kris laughed off the situation, neither confirming nor denying the possibility of Gerry’s flirtation. She brushed it off with a joke, noting that she already had a boyfriend, though the moment left some wondering if Gerry’s intentions were simply friendly or if there was more to it.
If Gerry truly was flirting with Kris, it could have been problematic, as he was engaged to Theresa at the time. However, it’s possible that his compliments were merely innocent gestures that Kendall misinterpreted.
Will Kendall Jenner Watch The Golden Bachelorette?
With Kendall’s deep interest in The Golden Bachelor, it’s highly likely that she’ll tune in for The Golden Bachelorette, the female-led iteration of the show. After the success of the first season, ABC quickly announced that the spin-off would continue, this time with Joan Vassos as the lead. Joan, a 61-year-old widow and school administrator, was one of Gerry’s contestants on The Golden Bachelor, but she had to leave the show early due to a family emergency.
Despite her brief appearance on the show, Joan left a lasting impression, making her a natural choice for The Golden Bachelorette. Given Kendall’s passion for The Golden Bachelor, fans can expect her to be just as engaged with Joan’s journey to find love in the upcoming season.
Conclusion: Kendall’s Unlikely Connection to The Golden Bachelor
Kendall Jenner’s unexpected obsession with The Golden Bachelor showcases her lighter, more relatable side, as she enjoys reality TV drama just like many other fans. Her dinner party with Gerry Turner, filled with humorous and revealing moments, gave her an insider’s perspective on the show she had grown to love. As Kendall continues to enjoy her reality TV favorites, it seems likely that she’ll be just as enthusiastic about The Golden Bachelorette, further cementing her as a fan of the unique and entertaining dating series.
