In a surprising turn of events, the first-ever 'Golden Bachelor' couple, Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, have announced their divorce just three months after their televised wedding on ABC's 'The Golden Bachelor'. The news came as a shock to many fans of the show who had watched the pair fall in love during the reality series.
According to reports, Theresa expressed her gratitude to her supporters and thanked them for their kindness and understanding following the split. She also shared that despite the unexpected turn of events, she considered her experience on 'The Golden Bachelor' overall positive.
Gerry, a 71-year-old Indiana native who was revealed as the first-ever 'Golden Bachelor', described his current living arrangement with Theresa as a long-distance relationship until they decide on a place to live together. However, it appears that the distance proved to be an insurmountable obstacle for their marriage.
The couple's divorce marks the shortest in the history of 'The Bachelor', 'The Bachelorette', and its spinoffs, with their union lasting only 100 days.
April Kirkwood, a contestant on 'The Golden Bachelor', tried to warn Theresa about Gerry before her marriage. However, it is unclear whether Theresa heeded the warning or not.
Jen Woolston, Theresa's daughter from a previous marriage, expressed her love and support for both of them and cherished the memories they created together as a family.
Tyler Cameron, a 'Bachelorette' alum, expressed his disappointment towards Gerry and Theresa's divorce. He described their actions as putting a 'stain on love in the Bachelor world'.
Despite their plans to split, Turner and Nist maintain that they will always have love for each other.
