Former 'Golden Bachelor' contestants Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist have officially divorced, according to confirmation from Fox News Digital. The couple, who gained fame during their time on the popular reality TV show, signed a dissolution of marriage decree in an Indiana court on Wednesday.
Gerry Turner, now 72 years old, made history by being the oldest star of the show and becoming the first engaged and married "Golden Bachelor" in just a few months. However, despite their initial success, Turner and Nist faced numerous challenges in their relationship.
One major hurdle for the couple was their inability to settle into a permanent living situation. Turner considered Indiana his home, while Nist is based in New Jersey. Their struggle to find a shared location ultimately played a significant role in their decision to end their marriage.
In a joint interview on "Good Morning America" back in April, the couple confessed that their love for each other wasn't enough to sustain their relationship. Nist revealed that they had explored various options, including homes in South Carolina and New Jersey, but were unable to come to a final decision.
Turner, despite the divorce, admitted that he still harbors feelings of love for Nist. He expressed that there is no doubt in his mind about his continued affection for her and that he roots for her every day. Nist reciprocated these sentiments, confirming that she still loves him as well.
The dissolution of their marriage brings an end to the love story that captured the hearts of viewers during their time on the show. While Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist may have gone their separate ways, their journey as the 'Golden Bachelor' couple will forever be remembered as a unique chapter in reality TV history.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for both individuals following their split. However, fans of the show and well-wishers of the former couple will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on their lives moving forward.
