In an unexpected turn of events, Gerry Turner, famously known as the 'Golden Bachelor', has officially finalized his divorce from his now-ex-wife, Theresa Nist. The divorce case, which gained attention due to its remarkable speed, has been signed, sealed, and delivered in the Indiana court system, according to documents obtained by TMZ.
Legal documents reveal that a summary decree for the dissolution of their marriage was entered on Thursday. Alongside this, a marital settlement agreement was also submitted on the same day and approved by a judge. The specifics of the settlement have not been disclosed as of yet.
Interestingly, it cost Gerry a mere $157 in court fees to navigate through the divorce proceedings. He initially filed for divorce on April 12, and shortly after, updated his address, both of which were recorded in the divorce case. Now, only two months later, their marriage has come to an end.
The divorce papers indicate that Gerry and Theresa did not have any children together. Moreover, their prenuptial agreement likely contributed to the swift resolution of their split. The couple's marriage was short-lived, having tied the knot in January earlier this year.
Reports suggest that the couple's irreconcilable differences stemmed from their disagreement over where to reside. While Theresa was based in New Jersey, Gerry resided in Indiana. Neither of them was willing to uproot their lives for the sake of their relationship, leading them to conclude that it was best to pursue separate paths.
Gerry, who gained fame as the inaugural 'Golden Bachelor,' was a source of hope for many, as his age and maturity were believed to signify a lasting relationship. However, their union proved to be one of the shortest in the series.
The public awaits further details about the settlement and wishes both Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist the best as they move forward separately.
