The Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner and his wife Theresa Nist have revealed they’re getting a divorce just three months after they tied the knot in a ‘dream’ ceremony that was broadcast across the nation.
Gerry, 72, and Theresa, 70, announced the news of their split during an interview on Good Morning America this morning, when they opened up about the reasons for their shock separation.
‘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 – and we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to – dissolve our marriage,’ Gerry told host Juju Chang.
He admitted that their decision to separate was motivated in large part by their ‘dedication’ to their respective families – hinting that this has made it incredibly difficult for them to decide on a place to settle down together.
Both Gerry, a retired restauranteur from Indiana, and Theresa, a securities professional from New Jersey, have kids from past relationships; he has two daughters and two granddaughters, while she has a son, daughter, and six grandsons.
“The thing that strikes me the most in our conversations, it’s been how dedicated both of us are to our families,” Gerry explained. “So we look at these situations and I think we just feel like it’s best for the happiness of each of us to live apart.”
