The Minnesota native was open with Gerry Turner about her divorces but didn’t go too far into details on the show. She shared more with Amabile and Pitt.

But before delving into the nitty-gritty, she showed no shame about her past relationships. “Being divorced is not like the plague. It happens.”

She chalked the end of her first marriage to youth. “With Brad and I, we were just really young,” she explained.

However, her second marriage ended due to infidelity. “With David, there was infidelity in that marriage. I tried to keep my family together as long as I possibly could knowing what was going on. I just couldn’t do it,” Fhima candidly explained.

She added, “I’m very good friends with his siblings and his cousins.”

  1. Leslie will be very grateful she didn’t end up with this guy. Yes, we all have a past but when you’re in your 70’s and still lying and love bombing and basically lost to the fact you are hurting people you do not deserve a good outcome. I’m not surprised Gerry chooses a docile passive woman who cannot wait to serve him hand foot. She lacks self esteem and needs a man to validate her existence. She’s going to discover some hard truths about getting involved with a narcissist, and a poor one to boot. Yeah, this guy has nothing. He needs her to pay the bills.
