After only three months of marriage, Gerry Turner, the first-ever contestant on "The Golden Bachelor," and Theresa Nist have announced their decision to file for divorce. The news was confirmed during an interview on "Good Morning America," where the couple expressed their mutual agreement to dissolve their marriage.

Jesse Palmer, host of "The Golden Bachelor," took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the announcement. In a heartfelt post, Palmer expressed his support for Turner and Nist, stating, "My heart is forever with these two beautiful souls. I am eternally grateful to have gotten to know Gerry and Theresa and to have been a small part of their journey." He also mentioned that he had learned valuable lessons about life, love, and family through his interactions with the couple.

The decision to end their marriage reportedly came after Turner, 72, and Nist, 70, struggled to agree on a place to live. Despite their differences, the couple maintains their love and friendship, affirming that they had agreed on a prenuptial agreement and will continue to keep in touch.

Legal documents obtained by The Post reveal that Turner filed the divorce petition in his hometown of Petersburg, Indiana, citing "irretrievable breakdown" as the reason for dissolving the marriage. The official date of separation was noted as April 12.

Turner's dating history was not a factor in their split, according to Nist. She explained that he had already addressed the allegations from a Hollywood Reporter article that surfaced prior to their wedding, which claimed Turner had dated multiple women after the death of his wife and had fat-shamed one of his previous partners. Nist asserted that Turner had discussed the matter with her beforehand, demonstrating their understanding and moving forward.

The engagement between Turner and Nist took place in November 2023 during the filming of "The Golden Bachelor." Turner proposed to Nist, choosing her over runner-up Leslie Fhima, in a romantic setting in Costa Rica. The couple later tied the knot in a televised ceremony on Jan. 4.

As news of their divorce spreads, many fans express their support for Turner and Nist, acknowledging the challenges that come with navigating a new marriage. Despite the decision to part ways, both parties emphasize their love for each other and their intentions to remain friends.

Though their journey as husband and wife may have come to an early end, Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist's story serves as a reminder that love takes many forms, and sometimes paths diverge in unexpected ways.
