Joan Vassos Addresses Speculation 'Golden Bachelor' Gerry Turner Wanted a Second Chance at Love With Her

Joan Vassos is addressing speculation.

The 62-year-old The Golden Bachelorette spoke out on the latest episode of the Two Jersey Js podcast.

During the episode, Joan addressed speculation that The Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner wanted to give their relationship a second chance.

If you don’t recall, at the end of the season, Gerry ultimately found love with Theresa Nist and the two tied the knot in a wedding special in January 2024. But after just three months of marriage, they announced their split in April of that year.

Joan said although she “had a connection” with him, their relationship had evolved into a “really good friendship.”

“We are really good friends still,” she added. “We stay in touch.”

When asked whether Gerry may have wanted to give things a second shot after his divorce, Joan simply said: “I’m not gonna comment.”

At the end of her season, Joan got engaged to Chock Chapple.

“We haven’t put a ton of thought in the wedding. We’re really looking forward to just being a couple out in the world and being just normal people living life for at least a couple of months, and then we’ll start thinking wedding,” she recently told People.
