In a recent interview with Katie Couric, Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner addressed the allegations made in a recent exposé by The Hollywood Reporter regarding his past relationship. The report claimed that Gerry had a long-term girlfriend who was not mentioned on the show. However, Gerry dismissed these claims and emphasized his focus on the present.

During the interview, Couric questioned Gerry about the allegations from the exposé, to which he responded, "I dated a number of women, so then it becomes an issue of how you define if you're in a relationship or not. I guess, like any guy, I had a number of dates and it was one or two." He denied the existence of a "long-term relationship that lasted a couple of years" and stressed his desire to focus on the current stage of his life.

Gerry's response to the allegations came just before the highly anticipated finale of The Golden Bachelor, where he got engaged to Theresa Nist and announced their plans for a televised wedding. As a result, the couple has been participating in various press engagements, leading to questions about the exposé.

In another interview with Entertainment Tonight, Gerry expressed his indifference towards the allegations, stating, "I don't give it a whole lot of thought. I've got to be honest, I just don't give it a life. I have so many positives in my life right now. Right at this very moment, look what I have that is an equal partner to me! To get bogged down in the past, I just can't go there, nor do I want to."

While Gerry remains firm in his denial of a hidden relationship, the exposé by The Hollywood Reporter has prompted discussions about transparency and honesty in reality television. Viewers and fans of The Golden Bachelor are left to draw their own conclusions based on the information provided.

As the finale and After the Final Rose special approaches, Gerry and Theresa continue to navigate through the spotlight. Moving forward, the focus will be on their journey as a couple, as they plan for their future together.

The Hollywood Reporter exposé has certainly added a twist to the narrative of The Golden Bachelor, creating intrigue and speculation among viewers. Only time will tell how this revelation will impact the couple's relationship and their journey beyond the confines of reality television.
