Golden Bachelor’s Theresa Nist looked downcast while taking out her trash at her home in New Jersey weeks after she and husband Gerry Turner announced their decision to divorce.
Theresa, 70, wore her white and grey pajamas outside while carrying a trash can and her phone on Monday.
Her brown locks hung around her shoulders and appear unbrushed while her face looked clean and makeupless.
The mother of two looked dejected as she placed the can near her mailbox and walked back into the house.
During their appearance on Good Morning America weeks ago, Gerry said: “Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations.”
“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,” he added.
“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.”
Weeks before announcing their split, Gerry and Theresa opened up about their relationship during an appearance on the Dear Shandy Podcast.
The hosts of the show Sharleen and Andy asked the ex-couple how their arguments go.
“We yell and scream and say sorry and we’re better for it,” Theresa told the podcast hosts.
Gerry said that their arguments were “intellectual jousting to start with.”
“Point, counterpoint, and then it’ll accelerate a little bit and we’ll start looking at each other like, ‘Really? I’m totally right.’”
According to body language expert, Judi James, Gerry never showed “signs of commitment” to his now-estranged wife Theresa Nist.
Meanwhile, the former contestant looked “smitten” during public appearances with Gerry, while he appeared “detached.”
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.
