“The Golden Bachelor” Stars Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist Divorcing After Just Three Months
Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, who captured viewers’ hearts on the hit show “The Golden Bachelor,” are now making headlines for their unexpected divorce. The couple, who got married on national television just three months ago, announced their split on “Good Morning America” in an interview with journalist Juju Chang.
Turner, 72, became the first bachelor on ABC’s senior reality dating series and proposed to Nist after a whirlwind three weeks of filming. Despite their breakup, the couple expressed mutual admiration and love for each other during the televised interview. Surprisingly, Turner and Nist never actually lived together after tying the knot, choosing to remain in their respective locations in Indiana and New Jersey.
The news of their divorce comes on the heels of a report that questioned Turner’s dating history, which was published anonymously the week of the show’s finale. However, the former couple revealed that they have a prenuptial agreement in place and recommend it for other couples in similar situations.
Due to the success of “The Golden Bachelor,” ABC has announced that they will be launching a female-led series titled “The Golden Bachelorette” this fall. For those eager to hear more about Turner and Nist’s split, the full interview will be airing on “Nightline” tonight, promising to reveal more details about the high-profile breakup.
