From a Golden Wedding to a Golden Divorce, Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist have decided to end their marriage only three months after tying the knot.
The former couple, who met on the very successful first season of The Golden Bachelor, announced the shocking news on this morning’s Good Morning America.
“We have received so much love and support from so many people who watched The Golden Bachelor, and I don’t think we can tell you how many people told us that it gave them so much hope,” Nist began. “We want none of that to change for anybody.”
Turner then took over, telling GMA’s Juju Chang, “Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations, and we’ve looked closely at our situation, our living situation, so forth and we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to dissolve our marriage.”
When Chang asked if that meant they were getting a “divorce,” Turner confirmed, “Yes.”
“The thing that strikes me the most in our conversations, it’s been how dedicated both of us are to our families,” he said. “So we look at these situations and I think we just feel like it’s best for the happiness of each of us to, to live apart.”
Despite deciding to end their marriage, Turner insisted that they never fell out of love.
“There’s no doubt in my mind. I’m still in love with her. I root for her every day,” he said, with both of them adding that they will continue their search for love.
Turner and Nist got engaged in the season finale of The Golden Bachelor before they said “I do” in a televised special that aired Jan. 4. The news of their split comes weeks after TMZ reported that they were still not living together, with Turner residing in Indiana, while Nist has remained in New Jersey.
The Bachelor spinoff became ABC’s most-watched unscripted premiere on Hulu, per Variety. Following the success of the first season, the network announced its plans to move forward with The Golden Bachelorette, which will reportedly begin airing this fall.

She may have been a mob widow.
Thanks Poindexter.
The US feral government is using them to create their total surveillance state wet dream.
I was thinking more along the lines of a Russian Mob widow.
No, she is Sporty Spice
Nowhere does it say anything about a final check....Get the point?
The final checks clear behind the scene. Get the point?
I sure do... Just like my earlier points. Conjecture, Captain know-it-all. Get the point?
No. You are obtuse and cannot write simple English sentences. Please communicate plainly.
... and you are arrogant and self aggrandizing. Save your holier than thou nonsense for your minions.
