Before his reality TV fame, Gerry Turner lived in his dream house on a beautiful lake in Indiana. The retired restaurateur, who previously owned a Mr. Quick hamburger franchise in Iowa, is often busy hosting barbecues, playing pickleball, and cheering on his favorite Chicago sports teams.
But he also still makes appearances for the popular Bachelor Nation franchise. He was among the alums taping an episode of the popular game show Family Feud in early April. At the time, he was keeping a shocking secret from the world: He was on the brink of divorcing Theresa Nist after three months of marriage.
After marrying Theresa in a televised ceremony in January, the couple announced their decision to divorce just three months later. Despite the sudden split, Gerry remains optimistic and open to new experiences, as evidenced by his latest reality TV venture.
