Theresa Nist Admits Distance Wasn’t Real Reason For Divorce
Later this month marks one year since the historic first season of The Golden Bachelor ended. Viewers watched Gerry Turner propose to Theresa Nist during the season finale. They quickly tied the knot just two months later in a televised TV wedding. But the Golden Wedding didn’t last long. They split three months later. Theresa Nist admits in a new interview that there was more to her divorce from Gerry Turner than distance. So what was the real reason?
Golden Bachelor Couple Blamed Location For Split
Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner said the reason they rushed down the altar was their age. “We’re going to do it as quickly as we can, because at our age, we don’t have a lot of time to waste,” he said at the time.
But they announced their divorce on Good Morning America three months after the wedding. They said that neither one of them was willing to move away from their families. Gerry Turner is based in Indiana and Theresa Nist lives near her daughter in New Jersey. Her daughter welcomed her fourth child earlier this month.
But Bachelor Nation fans suspected there was more to the story. And they were right.
Theresa Nist Admits Distance Wasn’t Real Reason For Divorce
Theresa Nist joined Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti on their Almost Famous podcast this week. She was reluctant to discuss exactly what led to the split. “You really can’t know somebody in four weeks. I’ll say that. That’s all I can say,” she said. Theresa added, “It’s not just the location thing. That’s all I’ll say.”
Despite saying she didn’t want to talk about it, she shed light on the change in their original plan to move to Charleston, South Carolina. She said that she didn’t want to sell her home in New Jersey until they had purchased a home in South Carolina. However, at that point, she claims Gerry Turner revised the original plan.
“Gerry came up with the idea of doing six weeks there and six weeks here. I truly wanted to have our home together. I was willing to move. I wanted to have our big home where our family could come visit us. I didn’t want to go back and forth to our homes.”
She Recently Enjoyed Night Out With Leslie Fhima
Theresa Nist’s relationship with Gerry Turner is done, but she’s still close with several of her Golden Bachelor co-stars. Surprisingly, one of her closest friends is former rival for Gerry’s affections, Leslie Fhima. Many viewers thought Gerry was going to choose Leslie, but he chose Theresa instead.
Leslie and Theresa have remained friends despite fans pitting them against each other. Theresa even visited Leslie in Minnesota earlier this year. They both recently flew to Los Angeles and were in the Dancing With The Stars live audience. Theresa took a photo with several DWTS contestants and pros, including Bachelor Nation’s Joey Graziadei.
