Theresa Nist is reflecting on her short-lived marriage to Gerry Turner. Just three days after announcing their split, the former “Golden Bachelor” star opened up about the unexpected end to her romance with the show’s leading man.
In an Instagram post on April 15, Nist shared, “It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life, something I never expected to happen at this point in my life, and I truly thought it was going to last forever. It turns out, even at the age of 70, you don’t know everything.”
Despite the breakup, which came just three months after their live televised wedding, Nist has no regrets about joining Bachelor Nation. She stated, “I take so many positives away from this experience,” and highlighted the friendships she made with the other women on the show.
Nist also expressed gratitude for her daughters Payton and Charlee, Turner’s daughters Angie and Jenny, and the show’s producers and crew. She encouraged others to remain open to new experiences and love.
As for the criticism she’s faced since the breakup, Nist hopes for understanding and kindness from others. Turner, 72, filed for divorce from Nist on April 12, citing an “irretrievable breakdown” as the reason for their split. The couple had been living separately since their January wedding and decided to part ways after several heartfelt conversations.
During a joint appearance on “Good Morning America” on April 12, Turner said, “We’ve looked closely at our situation, our living situation, so forth, and we’ve come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to dissolve our marriage.”
