Since Gerry Turner proposed and became the first engaged “Golden Bachelor,” there’s been quite a buzz about whether his new relationship will last.
As former “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” stars kicked off the holidays at iHeartRadio 102.7 KIIS FM’S Jingle Ball 2023 event, many offered advice to Turner.
“I think in terms of advice … I do think it’s going to last. I’m a hopeless romantic … or a hopeful romantic, maybe I’ll say,” former “Bachelorette” star Trista Sutter told Fox News Digital.
“I did give him advice that he used even in his proposal, and that was to find somebody that he can’t live without.”
Former “Bachelor” star Bob Guiney joined Sutter on the red carpet and added that her advice worked for her relationship as the first-ever “Bachelorette.” The reality star continues to have a strong relationship with her husband, Ryan Sutter.

“Bachelor” alum Rachel Recchia spoke of a moment during the “Golden Bachelor’s” season finale.
“It was so emotional but so heartwarming. … I’m really happy for Gary and Theresa,” Recchia told Fox News Digital. “And hope Leslie was able to get the closure she needed last night too.”

There [are] so many people there who not only deserve love but could really be good on television. So, yes, they have to do it. … I will publicly be very upset if ‘The Golden Bachelorette’ doesn’t happen,” he laughed.
