The Golden Bachelor is an American dating reality television series that premiered on September 28, 2023 on ABC.[1] It is a spin-off of The Bachelor featuring a cast of senior citizens as the contestants and a single man.

The series starred 72-year-old Gerry Turner, a retired restaurateur and widower from Hudson, Indiana.[2] It concluded on November 30, 2023, with Turner choosing to propose to 70-year-old Theresa Nist; the finale would be the most-watched episode in the Bachelor franchise since 2021.[3] ABC aired the wedding as a live special, The Golden Wedding, on January 4, 2024.[4] They divorced three months later.[5]

In February 2024, ABC announced that it had ordered an equivalent spin-off for The Bachelorette, The Golden Bachelorette, for its fall lineup in 2024;[6] Joan Vassos—a contestant who had dropped out of The Golden Bachelor due to a family emergency—was announced as its star.[7]
