<p id=”par-1_73″>It’s hard to imagine legendary comedian <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/eddie-murphy/?swcfpc=1″>Eddie Murphy</a> sitting down to watch a dating competition. It’s an image everyone should get used to,t though. The 63-year-old star recently revealed that his TV viewing habits are a bit surprising. Eddie Murphy said he watched <em>The Golden Bachelor </em>from start to finish, and he was invested. Murphy has some pretty strong emotions about <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-golden-bachelor-what-led-to-theresa-nist-and-gerry-turners-divorce.html/”>Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist </a>ending their marriage after just three months.</p>

<p id=”par-2_85″>Eddie Murphy has strong feelings about the golden divorce. In an interview with <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/29/magazine/eddie-murphy-interview.html” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>the New York Times</a>, Murphy revealed that he had watched <em>The Golden Bachelor</em> and enjoyed the show. The star said he watched the entire season and was happy to see Turner and Nist find love in the second part of their life. However, Murphy was disappointed to learn that the golden couple’s marriage lasted a mere three months. During his chat with the publication, Murphy asked, ‘What kind of s**t is that!?”</p>

<p id=”par-3_80″>Murphy didn’t dwell on his feelings about the golden couple for too long, but he clearly didn’t need to. Murphy is not alone in his sentiment. His feelings about the situation align with what other viewers felt when the couple announced their divorce. Many fans who watched Turner and Nist fall in love and get married on live TV were extremely unhappy when they called it quits just a few months later. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/a-bachelor-alum-claims-theresa-nist-and-gerry-turners-marriage-started-to-unravel-over-a-disagreement-about-cornfields.html/”>Rumors </a>about the end of the marriage persist.</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-will-eddie-murphy-watch-the-golden-bachelorette”>Will Eddie Murphy watch ‘The Golden Bachelorette’?</h2>
<p id=”par-4_81″>While <em>The Golden Bachelor</em> didn’t end on a happy note, fans will get the chance for a happy ending for another golden contestant. <em>The Golden Bachelorette</em> is coming to ABC. Murphy did not mention if he plans to watch <em>The Golden Bachelorette</em>. The series will premiere in September. It will feature self-eliminated <em>The Golden Bachelor</em> contestant Joan Vassos as the lead. Vassos began filming her season late last month, and spy shots suggest she’s having a pretty good time so far.</p>

<p id=”par-5_49″>If Murphy does tune in to watch, he might be happier with the outcome of Vassos’ season. While we don’t yet have spoilers for the upcoming season, Vassos has been pretty candid about the measured approach she’ll be taking to finding love in the second act of her life.</p>
