Gerry Turner Reacts To The Age Limit Talk By Mel Owens

Age is much more than just a number in a world of reality romance. It tells a story, reflects life experiences, and can even be a source of strength. Gerry Turner, a star from the show "Golden Bachelor," is sharing this important message, especially in light of some recent comments from the new host of the show, Mel Owens.

Owens, who is 66, created some buzz when he said he prefers contestants between the ages of 45 and 60, implying that he wants to limit the age of potential partners on his season. However, Turner, who is 73, disagrees with this viewpoint. He believes that Owens will eventually change his mind. "I think it would be unfortunate and I really think he will have a change of heart in this," Turner said in a candid interview. "I think he will see the grace and the charm of women who are over 60 and the confidence they carry, and I think he'll have a change of heart."

Turner has lived through it. At the end of his time on the show, he proposed to Theresa Nist, who was 71, proving that love can flourish regardless of age. Although they are no longer together, Turner still holds a deep respect for older women and is currently dating someone new. He fondly remembers the contestants from his season, seeing them as unique and valuable individuals. "The people that I met in my season, I go through them, and it's like, they're all a gift," he reflected. "To have gotten to know them, each and every one of them brought some unique characteristics to the show, unique characteristics to life.."

While Mel Owens seems to have a more youthful idea of romance, Turner's insights serve as a potent reminder that love can grow and blossom at any age. The "Golden Bachelor" series was created to highlight love in later years, which can only be fully appreciated when we embrace all stages of life. As fans look forward to the next season, Gerry Turner is encouraging a broader perspective. If past experiences are any indication, Owens might soon discover that love, like fine wine, improves with age.
