An internet rumor announcing the death of Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner has fans worried. He revealed he had cancer a few months ago. Keep reading to find out the truth behind the shocking death rumor.
Gerry Turner Reveals Cancer Diagnosis
Gerry Turner is just one of many reality stars who recently revealed cancer battles. Bachelorette star Katie Thurston was diagnosed with breast cancer in February of this year. Real Housewives alum Teddi Mellencamp’s skin cancer has spread to her brain.
The Golden Bachelor star, who just turned 73 this week, has Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia, a slow-growing bone marrow cancer that affects blood cells. He was diagnosed in early 2024 amid his new romance with now ex-wife Theresa Nist. He went public with the diagnosis a few months ago.
The Golden Bachelor couple divorced in April 2024, just three months after their televised wedding. However, they’ve both said the cancer diagnosis had nothing to do with the split.
But Gerry Turner has been doing a lot of traveling after finding out he has cancer. Traveling was something he wanted to do with Theresa, but she couldn’t because of her job that kept her close to New Jersey.
Gerry Turner recently attended the After The Final Rose special for Grant Ellis’ Bachelor season finale. He reunited with his exes Joan Vassos and Leslie Fhima. Bachelor Nation fans will soon see Leslie on Season 10 of Bachelor In Paradise.

The article was about Bachelor Nation alum Clint Arlis, who passed away in 2022. “I assume this user gets adsense or something from people reading the article. The photo of Gerry is for clickbait, this account did something similar with Clare a few weeks ago,” the fan explained.
