Golden Bachelor’s Theresa Nist, who split from the show’s inaugural lead Gerry Turner in April after three months of marriage, shared why their romance couldn’t last for more reasons than the distance.


Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner’s relationship couldn’t go the distance. 

But the former Golden Bachelor contestant recently admitted that the couple’s divorce—which was finalized in June after their April separation—wasn’t only due to their inability to decide on where to start their lives together. 

“It’s not just the location thing,” Theresa, 71, confessed during the Nov. 4 episode of the Almost Famous podcast. “You really can’t know someone in four weeks. I’ll just say that. That’s all I can say. I don’t want to say any more than that.”

And when host Ashley Iaconetti posited whether the four weeks occurred during filming for the inaugural season of the Golden Bachelor—which ran from September to November 2023—or after cameras stopped rolling, Theresa noted that it occurred during the latter. 

As she and Gerry “got to know each other better” following their on-camera engagement, Theresa began to realize how little she knew Gerry prior to their marriage. 

In fact, she recalled her daughter Jen Wooltson’s 6-year-old son Henry telling her just before her televised January wedding ceremony, “‘I just thought of this, you had one date and you’re getting married!’”


The former reality star emphasized that she and Gerry, 72, went into their wedding with honest intentions—but their rapid timeline between engagement and nuptials was encouraged by calls from the network. 

“I went into this really looking to fall in love and I did,” she added, noting that the free wedding ceremony from ABC incentivized their quick commitment. “We said, ‘Okay they’re offering this to us now' Not later—it was now. And we said, ‘If we really are going to get married, we should do it because we’re going to get the wedding of our dreams. And we are older and why waste any time? Do it now.’”

Although Theresa said the wedding—which included several Bachelor Nation alums on the guest list—was “gorgeous,” the cracks in her and Gerry’s relationship quickly became clear.
