Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner and financial services professional Theresa Nist have announced their divorce just three months after their televised wedding. The couple expressed their love for each other but admitted that the challenges of marriage were too overwhelming.
LOS ANGELES —"The Golden Bachelor " star Gerry Turner was overjoyed when he proposed to financial services professional Theresa Nist , putting a fairy-tale stamp on his journey to find love again at 72. The couple rushed to get married, eager to start their new life together.
After a number of heart-to-heart conversations,"we've come to the conclusion that it's probably time to dissolve our marriage," Turner said in the interview. They also said they were nervous about how fans would react to the shocking news. The announcement marks a stunning epilogue to the wildly successful launch of"The Golden Bachelor," a spinoff of"The Bachelor" reality franchise. The show's popularity, which extended beyond the core Bachelor Nation fan base, was largely credited to Turner's natural warmth and charisma, which transformed the retired restaurateur into a national celebrity.
In the season finale, Turner chose Nist over finalist Leslie Fhima as his bride-to-be. Holding hands as they faced each other in a lush field, Turner told Nist,"You're not the right person for me to live with," pausing dramatically before declaring:"You're the person I can't live without."
