The Golden Bachelor’s Theresa Nist may have been smart to get away from Gerry Turner, but I’m worried she may be struggling after Gerry’s deception and the eventual divorce hit her hard. Theresa, who was one of the women chosen to compete on The Golden Bachelor season 1, was able to build what she felt was a genuine connection with Gerry throughout her time on the show. Gerry, who was introduced to Bachelor Nation as a sweet, sensitive widower looking for love in his second act, made it clear he was ready for something new and wanted to be happy.
While Gerry’s time as The Golden Bachelor wound up troubling, he chose to propose to Theresa during the season finale. The couple announced they’d be getting married in a live TV special a few weeks later and after knowing each other for less than six months, Gerry and Theresa tied the knot in front of their friends, families, and Bachelor Nation. Gerry’s reputation, which was spotless on the series, had been tarnished due to an ex-girlffriend coming forward about his past behavior, but Theresa stood by supportively. When the couple announced their split three months later, Bachelor Nation was shocked.
Theresa’s Posts Online Have Been Focused On Her Family
She’s Not Sharing Everything
After her divorce from Gerry was announced just three months after their major spectacle of a wedding, Theresa was struggling in her day-to-day life and sharing very little online. While she hadn’t been an avid social media poster before her marriage to Gerry, her feed after The Golden Bachelor season 1 had been primarily photos of her and Gerry, along with a few of her family. After the split, Theresa went all in posting about her grandchildren, which made me wonder if she was trying to stay out of the spotlight in order to give herself time to properly heal.
Theresa Has Been Bombarded With Questions About Gerry
She Doesn’t Bring Him Up
While Theresa hasn’t been doing many public interviews, when she does post online and leave the ability to comment open, she seems to be getting a lot of questions about her time with Gerry. Theresa’s Instagram comments may not be something she focuses on, but they’ve definitely been flooded with The Golden Bachelor centric questions throughout her time on the show and afterward. With many invasive questions about Gerry on her feed, Theresa does answer some of the less Gerry-related material, which means she likely sees questions about her failed marriage. I’m concerned those comments may be tough for her.
Theresa’s Back Where She Started Before The Golden Bachelor
She’s Back To Being Single
Although there have been some rumors that Theresa may be dating again after her split from Gerry, the divorce has been a difficult thing for her to process in the public eye. While Theresa hasn’t confirmed or denied anything about her dating live, she’s likely back to square one after The Golden Bachelor. While Theresa has the right to keep her dating life private, many viewers would be interested in who she’s dating if she decides to get serious with someone after her split. Sadly, Theresa may choose to stay alone for the moment, preserving herself form any potential heartbreak.
