She didn’t get the final rose — but she may have found something deeper.
Faith Martin captured America’s heart with her soulful singing, open vulnerability, and undeniable chemistry with Gerry Turner on The Golden Bachelor. When she was eliminated after hometowns, fans were shocked — and Faith was shattered.
But in the months since the finale, Faith has turned her heartbreak into healing. Now a symbol of emotional courage and resilience, she’s proving that not every love story ends with a proposal — and that’s okay.
From spotlight to solitude
Faith admitted the aftermath was “devastating,” telling People Magazine that she went home and cried for weeks. “It wasn’t just losing Gerry,” she said. “It was reliving every time I’ve felt left behind.”
But instead of retreating, she chose to reflect — and write. Her blog, launched in early 2025, is a raw journal of emotional recovery, aging gracefully, and finding joy after rejection.
A new chapter begins
Faith has returned to performing music locally in Benton County, Oregon. She’s also spoken on podcasts about women over 60 reclaiming their voices — and their worth.
And when asked about Gerry and Theresa’s divorce? Faith smiled and said, “I hope they find what they’re both still looking for. We all are, in some way.”
