Leslie, 64, shared with Gerry, 72, on an episode of The Golden Bachelor that the phrase "'Till death do us part'" is unfamiliar to her since she has never experienced it before. Throughout her life, she has been searching for this kind of commitment, but it remained unfamiliar to her even in her past two marriages. This concept is unexplored territory for her. [This conversation took place] during their overnight date on Thursday, November 16th.
Leslie became overwhelmed with emotion as she spoke further.
"On each birthday, I keep telling myself, 'Next year, I won't be by myself anymore.'... I have an entire year to find someone," she expressed. "But every year, it feels like Groundhog's Day. I end up spending my birthday alone. I desire companionship. You are everything I truly want."
