Golden Bachelor alum Theresa Nist is giving fans a little glimpse as to how her love life is faring following her split from Gerry Turner.
“I absolutely do want to be in a relationship,” Nist, 71, said to hosts Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti during the Thursday, June 5, episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast. “And whether or not I’m in one right now, I’m not prepared to discuss.”
Higgins, 34, and Iaconetti, 37, were shocked by Nist’s impromptu confession and attempted to get the reality TV star to dish on some details. The former Bachelor asked Nist if it was “true or not true” she was dating, to which she replied “true.”
Iaconetti followed up to inquire how many dates Nist has been on with the mystery person — she noted it was “several.”
“Would you or would you not call each other girlfriend and boyfriend?” Iaconetti asked and Nist replied, “Oh my gosh, not yet.”
As for the pair’s last question on the subject, Iaconetti asked how Nist met the man, to which she revealed they connected via a “dating website.”
Bachelor Nation was first introduced to Nist during the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelorette, which aired in 2023. She ultimately won over the heart of Turner, 73, and got engaged in the season finale. The pair tied the knot during ABC’s live The Golden Wedding television special in January 2024. Months later, Turner and Nist announced they were getting a divorce.
Since her split from Turner, Nist has kept details about her love life low-key. When news broke in April that Bachelor in Paradise would be returning and including contestants from both Golden spinoffs, many fans thought Nist would be in the mix. However, Nist revealed on Thursday that she would not be on the series.
