Does love have an age limit? We have the opportunity to see the answer on the new show, “The Golden Bachelor” – a spinoff of the popular dating show, “The Bachelor” – which premieres Sept. 28 on ABC.
“The Golden Bachelor” features a 71-year-old lead, Gerry Turner, who lives in Indiana. Turner is a widower and father whose wife died of an illness in 2017 after 43 years together and the first senior citizen prospect in “Bachelor” history. In preview clips, Turner says, “It’s never too late to fall in love again.”
Scott Cypers, PhD, associate professor, licensed psychologist and director of stress and anxiety programs at the Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Depression Center at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, answers questions about the new show and how love can affect our health and can contribute to our happiness and well-being.
