Unwillingness To Move Blamed For Split
Senior couple Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist married in January after just a few months of dating. They cited their age as the reason for the rush down the altar. Millions of viewers tuned in to watch The Golden Wedding on ABC.
Those same viewers woke up on Friday, April 12, to the news that the Golden couple was no more. Gerry and Theresa announced that morning on Good Morning America that they had decided to divorce. The paperwork was filed later that day in Gerry’s home state of Indiana.
Theresa and Gerry gave a united front on GMA, claiming that distance was the reason for the divorce. The original plan was for them to move together to South Carolina or a neutral state. Then the plan seemed to shift to Gerry Turner moving from Indiana to New Jersey.
Despite bringing his beloved dog to Jersey to meet Theresa, it doesn’t appear that the Golden Bachelor star ever officially moved to the Garden State.
Other Bachelor Nation alum, such as Nick Viall and Bob Guiney have shared their opinion that there is a deeper reason for the split. One possible reason floated on social media is Theresa Nist not wanting to give up her job in New Jersey.

Theresa is genuine lovely lady. Gerry Turner is master manipulator. The two opposites cannot mix to work out, thus a failure!
She is an educated mature, wise, mentally sain adult who is a big girl capable of acting like an adult and making her own choices. Equally her fault. Before they said they would get married they should have known where they were going to live.
Theresa lives in a lovely 1100 sq ft home in NJ w/high cost of living. She also worked very hard for the multiple securities licenses she possesses of which cannot be transferred to some states. Gerry appears far to arrogant to ever consider living in her small home and likely wanted her to sell to provide $ for a winter home while intending to use his home during the summer. That home was not his original lake home with Toni but rather one he purchased after her death for tens of thousands less than the home he sold. Question whether his retirement isn’t funded with proceeds of deceased wife’s estate.
