The Golden Bachelor’s Theresa Nist recently made shocking comments about being hit on by much younger men since her divorce from Gerry Turner. 70-year-old Theresa, a day trader from New Jersey, made her television debut as one of the 22 single Golden women who had traveled to the iconic Bachelor mansion to date 72-year-old Gerry. The mother of two was a widow whose beloved husband of 42 years, William Nist, died in 2014. Theresa and William were high school sweethearts, so they’d spent most of their lives together.
From the moment Theresa stepped out of the limousine on the first night of The Golden Bachelor season 1, Gerry was charmed by the warm, outgoing Theresa. They spent the season getting closer, and, in the end, Gerry gave Theresa his final rose and an engagement ring. They were married in a televised Golden wedding, but they announced their divorce after just three months of marriage. Since becoming a single woman again, Theresa has been getting hit on by much younger men. Is Theresa open to dating someone much younger than her?
Theresa & Gerry Got Divorced
She Suddenly Found Herself Single Again
The Golden Bachelor season 1 was an instant hit, and audiences fell in love with Gerry and Theresa, who came to represent the hope of second chances. Their divorce came as a devastating shock, but Theresa did the best she could to focus on taking care of herself and being with her family. She stayed busy with family, friends, her garden, and her successful career in finance.
The Golden Bachelor star has six grandchildren, and her daughter recently gave birth to Theresa’s seventh grandchild. It probably wasn’t easy for Theresa to go through such a public divorce, but she did so with grace. She never goes long without flashing a warm smile and always tries to make the best of things. She has even become quite the social media influencer, boasting 128K followers. Theresa recently posted photos from her family’s Thanksgiving celebration to Instagram.
Theresa’s Been Getting Hit On A Lot
Men Have Been Sliding Into Her DMs
In a recent exclusive interview with Page Six, Theresa made a shocking confession about her love life.

Theresa has such a youthful energy and looks great for her age, so it’s no surprise she’s getting this attention from men of all ages.
Is Theresa Already Dating A Younger Man?
Her Take On Age Gap Dating
Theresa has appeared to be single since leaving The Golden Bachelor season 1. Except for her brief marriage to Gerry, she had been single since William passed away in 2014, so she’s used to it. In fact, Theresa seemed to be happy living life as a single woman. During the interview, Theresa addressed the possibility of dating a much younger man. She said she thinks age is just a number and would be open to dating a younger man.
However, Theresa went on to say she wouldn’t date anyone too young because they wouldn’t be compatible.
Since Theresa and Gerry announced their divorce, there’s been some speculation about her future with The Golden Bachelor franchise. Though she could probably never be The Golden Bachelorette, Theresa would make a great addition to the ensemble cast of The Golden Bachelor In Paradise. Despite Theresa being a fan favorite, it’s hard to imagine her ever doing another Bachelor Nation show.
