Theresa Nist has opened up about her relationship with Gerry Turner following their recent announcement of divorce, just three months after their televised marriage on The Golden Bachelor.

The news of their split, revealed on Good Morning America last week, came as a surprise to fans, as Nist and Turner expressed their ongoing feelings of ‘love’ for each other despite their decision to part ways.

Their relationship began on the spinoff of The Bachelor late last year, culminating in a televised wedding ceremony in January. However, after ‘a number of heart-to-heart conversations’, the couple concluded it was time to ‘dissolve’ their marriage.

Nist has taken to Instagram to share more insights into the divorce and express gratitude for the outpouring of support she has received. In a heartfelt post, she acknowledged the confusion and anger surrounding their decision, urging compassion and kindness towards all.

Reflecting on her time with Turner, Nist described it as ‘one of the most incredible experiences’ of her life, expressing surprise at the turn of events and emphasizing the value of remaining open to new experiences and opportunities.

She concluded her message with a quote from Dr. Seuss, encouraging others to ‘smile because it happened’ rather than dwell on the end.

Their divorce was hinted at during their Good Morning America appearance, where they cited difficulties in agreeing on a place to live as a contributing factor to their decision to separate. Despite considering various locations, they ultimately concluded that living apart would be best for their individual happiness.
