Gerry Turner has ‘never shown signs of commitment’ unlike ‘smitten’ Theresa Nist
EXCLUSIVE: The Golden Bachelor stars Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist has recently announced their divorce. This outcome was “not unexpected,” according to an expert.
The Golden Bachelor’s Gerry Turner never showed “signs of commitment” to his now-estranged wife Theresa Nist.
According to body language expert, Judi James, the former contestant looked “smitten” during public appearances with Gerry, while he appeared “detached.”
The pair who met during the debut season of The Bachelor spin-off seemingly hit it off and tied the knot in an emotional televised ceremony in January.
However, just three months later they announced their divorce during an interview with Good Morning America.
On Friday, Gerry told journalist Juju Chang that after looking closely at their “living situation,” they decided it was time to “dissolve our marriage.”
While many fans were taken aback by their split, others were not surprised, including body language expert Judi James who spotted the tell-tale signs.
Judi told Daily Express US: “You do not pick your life partner from a group of competitive women in front of the TV cameras and this almost ‘sham’ marriage was clearly destined to unpick quickly although this is probably quicker than most fans of the show might expect.
”There’s a very idealistic suggestion that a single guy or woman who achieves high levels of fame from taking part in a TV show will cash in on that fame by falling for someone their own age.”
She continued: “Gerry’s body language has never really shown commitment with Theresa although her own body language poses have always suggest she is smitten.”
Judi explained: “Their split is not unexpected then. While Theresa would cling to his arm and gaze up at him to signal deep devotion Gerry has pretty much always looked detached.
“It’s sad the matchmaking process has not worked in this case but the separation and lack of attachment between them looked worrying from the outset.”
Although they didn’t divulge the details of their split many have questioned their devotion to one another as they were still living apart.
Theresa previously claimed: “We looked at homes in South Carolina, we considered New Jersey, and we just looked at homes after home, but we never got to the point where we made that decision.”
