Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner has officially filed for divorce from Theresa Nist after three short months of marriage.
Gerry Turner, 72, has officially filed for divorce from Theresa Nist, 70, in his hometown Petersburg, Indiana.
The couple, who appeared on Good Morning America earlier on Friday to confirm their breakup, had been married for just over three months.
“Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations,” Gerry told GMA.
“We’ve looked closely at our living situations and we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s time for us to dissolve our marriage.”
Gerry, who was a contestant on The Golden Bachelor, cited the dedication to their families as a primary factor in their decision to part ways.
“The things that strike me the most in our conversations it’s been how dedicated both of us are to our families. So, we look at these situations and I think we just feel like it’s best for the happiness of each of us to live apart,” he explained.
“I still love this person, there’s no doubt in my mind. I root for her every day.”
Theresa, 70, acknowledged that they have a prenuptial agreement in place and plan on returning their wedding rings.
“I think that’s the rule, I think I have to give this ring back. Sad to say,” she shared, with Gerry adding, “But, you know what, we don’t have to give back the memories.”
GMA host Juju Chang confirmed the prenup details and noted that Gerry and Theresa plan to remain best friends despite the divorce.
