ABC reality TV show. Gerry, who turned 72 while filming, is getting another chance at love after the death of his wife, Toni, in 2017. Gerry has 22 women who want to date and possibly get married to the Iowa native. However, there’s a particular 64-year-old contestant who’s got all eyes on her after the season premiere.

Leslie walked into the world of The Golden Bachelor wearing a gray wig and pushing a walker. She threw her granny nightgown off to reveal she was actually dressed in a stunning semi-sheer dress. The self-described glam-ma to three grandkids used to be a national aerobics champion in the 1980s. She embarked on a professional skating career after graduating from high school in 1977, has run 10 marathons, and is now a personal trainer. Leslie has been married twice before but also romanced a famed American singer/ songwriter when she was younger.

Leslie Dated Prince When She Was Younger

Leslie has revealed that she has a very famous ex. In the very first episode of The Golden Bachelor, Leslie shared a “fun fact” about herself. “When I was younger, I dated Prince,” Leslie said. She even claims Prince wrote the song "Sexy Dancer" about her. The song is from Prince’s self-titled album, released in 1979. Leslie’s son Eli Fhima backed his mom’s claims. According to Eli’s interview with Star Tribune, Leslie dated Prince in her “late teens and early 20s.”

However, Leslie left Prince when she went to tour Europe with the Ice Follies. “Not only did she date Prince,” said Eli before revealing, “but she broke up with Prince.” Prince isn’t the only famous ex that Leslie had a relationship with. She split from her ex, restaurateur and Chef David Fhima in the ’90s. He has a vast portfolio of restaurants that includes Fhima's Minneapolis and Maison Margaux. Interestingly, Gerry is also a former restaurateur. Gerry's career may have impressed Leslie since she was once married to a restaurateur.
