Gerry flat out said, "I love you," to both Faith and Leslie on The Golden Bachelor, and both of the women are completely smitten and crazy about him.
During a recent appearance on Live with Kelly & Mark, Gerry explained, "With each of those women, they had such wonderful personalities, they were each different and unique in their own way. And to love them, I can openly admit to that. But I also know that there was also only one -- by the end of it -- clearly, that is the one I could not live without."
After a short break for Thanksgiving, The Golden Bachelor will air its two-hour finale on Thursday, November 30 on ABC, and viewers will finally discover whom Gerry felt he can't live without.
Fans last saw Gerry enjoying Fantasy-Suite dates with each of his final two bachelorettes, Leslie and Theresa, on The Golden Bachelor.
And after both dates, Gerry told producers, "I'm running out of time. At this point, I know I can't put it off any longer. As hard as it is, I think I've made my decision."
The Golden Bachelor finale previews have shown Gerry looking at an engagement ring and voicing how he's going to put "1,000 percent" into his post-show relationship or "nothing" at all.
And Gerry previously told TV Insider that he could see himself getting engaged for the second time.
Gerry called an engagement "a very realistic possibility" for him, and he added, "The clock ticks a lot faster than when you're 20. If I'm going to enjoy the rest of my life, I don't want to waste time. I want to find my girl and move on."

"I think I've made a mistake," he laments in the footage.
"The only time I've ever felt worse in my whole life is when my wife [Toni] passed away, and this is a g-dd-mn close second. If I knew how much pain I was going to cause someone, I never would've taken the first step in this journey."
The Golden Bachelor host Jesse Palmer teased on Live with Kelly & Mark of the upcoming finale, "This is going to be, I think, the most emotional goodbye that anyone has ever seen on The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise coming up in the finale in a couple of weeks."
So what can viewers expect to see on the rest of The Golden Bachelor?!
Gerry recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and confirmed, "Yeah, [I'm in love]. Yes."
Show host Jimmy Kimmel joked about how Gerry probably wasn't supposed to give that away, and so Gerry played coy and quipped, "But I didn't say with whom, you know, I love my daughters."
Gerry also told Entertainment Weekly in September that he's "so pleasantly surprised by how things ended," suggesting he's currently in love.
"There's absolutely no regrets," Gerry gushed at the time.

At the time, Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone took to Twitter and revealed Gerry's Final 3 women and Final 2 bachelorettes.
Carbone tweeted in late August that Faith Martin had finished in third place and that Gerry's Final 2 women on The Golden Bachelor were Leslie and Theresa.
Carbone, however, initially had no idea who won Gerry's final rose, and he didn't have anything new to report for months.
"A lot of you have been asking where is your Golden Bachelor finale spoiler," Carbone said during the October 31 episode of his "Reality Steve Daily" podcast.
"I do not have it yet, and I can tell you over the last two months since I gave you the Final 2... I just haven't been able to find out who he chose."
According to Carbone, he had actually heard conflicting claims about who Gerry ended up picking as his The Golden Bachelor winner.
"I can tell you this, since filming ended I have heard both of them," he explained on his podcast.
"So clearly he didn't choose two people. But people have said, 'Oh, I heard this, I heard he picked Leslie,' and 'Oh, I heard he picked Theresa.' So you know, I don't have it yet."
Carbone also admitted that there was a chance he may not find out Gerry's winning bachelorette until The Golden Bachelor finale airs November 30 on ABC.
"I don't know if I will [learn the winner] before the finale," he acknowledged. "Hopefully I will. But that's where I'm at and what I've heard with that."
However, Carbone finally received the information he needed to confirm Gerry's winning bachelorette in late November.

"Golden Bachelor Finale Spoiler: It's taken a while, but I finally have been able to find out who Gerry chose. Gerry is engaged to Theresa Nist," Carbone wrote on his social media accounts.
When ABC released the biographical details of all of the women competing on Gerry's season before it debuted, it had teased that Leslie is a former professional figure skater who loves to dance and is passionate about helping others live their best lives. She also enjoys spending time with her Aussiedoodle, Billie.
Leslie, a mom of three kids and grandmother of three, has run 10 marathons in her life, and she's looking for a running buddy as well as "a real man" who will enhance her life.
And the network called Theresa "a gorgeous catch who has a huge heart," adding how she's very close with her children and grandchildren.
Theresa describes herself as optimistic, encouraging, and ready to love again after loss. Going into The Golden Bachelor, she hoped to meet her best friend, someone who would appreciate the little things in life with her.
Theresa also enjoys playing board games, gardening, reading romance novels, and hula hooping.
Gerry insisted he was ready to find "The One" after losing his high school sweetheart and late wife, Toni, to complications from a bacterial infection in 2017.
The pair had been married for 43 years and welcomed two daughters, Angie and Jenny, together. Gerry also has two granddaughters, Charlee and Payton, and lives on a beautiful lake in Indiana.
