‘Golden Bachelor’ Couple Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist to Divorce
Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, lovingly known as the ‘Golden Bachelor’ couple, have decided to part ways. They came into the limelight after falling in love on the inaugural season of ‘The Golden Bachelor’ last year, eventually culminating in a live telecast of their wedding early this year.
However, the couple recently announced their decision to divorce on television show ‘Good Morning America.’ They shared their mutual conclusion to dissolve their marriage, stressing that they still loved each other but believed separating was best for their happiness.
Turner, who proposed to Nist at the end of the first season, expressed that both of them were family-oriented. Yet, despite plans to settle in South Carolina or New Jersey, they felt they couldn’t make a final decision together.
Amidst heartwarming memories of their televised wedding, with their children and grandchildren in attendance, the couple maintains they did not fall out of love. They underlined their continued mutual affection during the interview.
“Even with our decision to part ways, we don’t want to discourage those who found hope in our journey,” said Nist. “We want to encourage everyone to stay hopeful, just like we are.”
The couple experienced the limelight’s pressure and managed reality after being part of ‘The Golden Bachelor’. They assured their decision wasn’t triggered by the media’s portrayal of their dating history or past. As they move forward, they plan to remain optimistic in seeking love again.
