The Golden Bachelor took off on Thursday, September 28, 2023, marking the beginning of a romantic journey that promises to captivate viewers. The season’s premiere introduced us to Theresa Nist, one of the 22 women competing for the heart of the charming bachelor, Gerry Turner.
From the start, Theresa made a significant impression on Gerry when she took him aside for a special one-on-one moment. Little did Gerry know that he was in for a delightful surprise – Theresa was celebrating her 70th birthday on this momentous night. Quick to show his thoughtful side, Gerry presented Theresa with a cupcake adorned with a single candle.
As the bachelor took a moment to dig into the birthday treat, he playfully hinted that Theresa would need to assist him in cleaning up the frosting. What happened next was nothing short of heartwarming – Theresa, caught up in the celebratory spirit, leaned in for a sweet kiss to help Gerry wipe away the frosting from his lips.
According to Theresa, this unexpected birthday celebration turned out to be the best she had ever experienced. The shared moment, filled with laughter and a touch of romance, set the tone for a magical connection between Theresa and Gerry.
Adding to the depth of Theresa’s story, she shared a heartfelt letter from her daughter. The letter expressed the daughter’s emotions about missing the daily conversations with her mother due to Theresa’s commitment to The Golden Bachelor. This touching detail resonated with Gerry, as he found parallels between Theresa’s relationship with her daughter and his own connections with his two daughters.
The premiere episode left viewers in awe of the budding romance between Theresa and Gerry.
