Unveiling TikTok’s Latest Craze: The Breathtaking “Beckham Challenge” by Golden Bachelor Icons Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist

In a delightful display reminiscent of the infectious energy of David and Victoria Beckham, a sprightly septuagenarian couple wholeheartedly embraced a viral craze. With utmost enthusiasm, they swayed and twirled to the timeless melody of Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers’ iconic hit, “Islands in the Stream,” casting an enchanting spell of mirth and joy.

Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist are having a wonderful time on the dance floor, drawing inspiration from David and Victoria Beckham’s moves in the famous soccer superstar’s documentary. Nist, who is 70 years old, shared a video on Instagram of herself and Turner, who is 72, dancing together in their bedroom. The couple, who recently got engaged on the finale of the reality show “Golden Bachelor” in late November, are planning to tie the knot next month. In the video, Turner can be seen effortlessly following Nist’s lead as they gracefully dance to Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers’ classic duet “Islands in the Stream” from 1983. Nist accompanied the clip with heartfelt song lyrics, expressing the deep connection they share.
This dance trend started with the release of the Beckham’s Netflix documentary on October 4th, where the couple spontaneously danced to “Islands in the Strea”. During that moment, Victoria Beckham described feeling content, and viewers could relate. Since then, couples on social media have been playfully challenging their partners by starting to dance to the song without any prior explanation, just like David Beckham did, to see if their significant other will join in. This viral trend, known as “The Beckham Test,” is considered “passed” if the partner follows in David’s footsteps and dances along to the music.

Known for their unwavering love and support for one another, they recently expressed their excitement for the upcoming holiday season on various social media platforms.

Taking to Instagram, Turner shared with his followers that they have embraced the holiday spirit by bringing their families together.
