Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner and Wife Theresa Nist Divorce After Three Months
The Couple Made the Announcement on Social Media
Turner and Nist Were Married in a Televised Ceremony in 2023
Golden Bachelor lead Gerry Turner and his wife Theresa Nist have announced their divorce after three months of marriage. The couple made the emotional announcement on social media.
Nist, who was a finalist on Turner's reality show "The Golden Bachelor" in 2023, said in a statement that the decision was "difficult but necessary." Turner, 72, and Nist, 70, said they remain friends and "have nothing but love and respect for each other."
The couple's whirlwind romance began on the reality show, where Nist was one of the final three contestants. Turner proposed to Nist in the season finale, and the couple married in a live televised ceremony three months later.
The divorce announcement has shocked fans of the couple, who seemed to have a strong connection on the show. However, Turner and Nist said that they realized after the wedding that they were not ready for marriage.
"We tried to make it work, but we're not right for each other," Turner said. "We're both at different stages in our lives, and we want different things."
Despite their breakup, Turner and Nist said they don't want fans to give up on their search for a life partner.
"We believe that everyone deserves to find love," Turner said. "We just weren't meant to be together."
