Since The Golden Bachelor stars Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist announced their divorce in April, Theresa has washed her hands of the entire affair. Their love story began on night one of TheBachelor spin-off, when Gerry, a 72-year-old retired restaurateur, met 22 eligible bachelorettes in their 60s and 70s. Among the amazing, impressive women was Theresa, a 70-year-old day trader. Gerry was instantly interested in Theresa, and she was a front-runner throughout the season.
It was little surprise when Gerry gave his final rose to Theresa, and the two were married just a few short weeks after the finale aired. The Golden Bachelor season 1 couple rode off into the sunset and hopes were high for the couple. Sadly, hopes were dashed when Gerry and Theresa announced their divorce just three short months after the lavish Golden Bachelor wedding. Since the split, Gerry’s reputation has taken a hit, and Theresa doesn’t seem to care.
Theresa Has Been Posting About her Family A Lot
She Has Her Priorities In Order
Since her divorce from Gerry, Theresa has leaned on her family for support. Long before being cast in The Golden Bachelor season 1, Theresa was married to the love of her life for 42 years. Theresa was only 14 years old when she met 15-year-old William Nist. The two were married when she was only 19 years old and had two children together. Sadly, William died in 2014, leaving Theresa on her own.
She leaned on her children, who she continued to be very close to.
Since the split, the star of The Golden Bachelor has been posting about her family a lot. Theresa spent the Fourth of July weekend in South Carolina with her son, daughter-in-law, and grandsons, and she posted photos on Instagram. Theresa’s footage and photos depict a happy, active family having a great time at their lake.
Theresa Can’t Wait To Meet Her Seventh Grandchild
Hoping For A Girl
Theresa has six grandsons in total, and she recently announced that her daughter was pregnant with Theresa’s seventh grandchild. The Golden Bachelor season 1 star is hoping she’ll finally have a granddaughter. With so much to look forward to, it’s not surprising that Theresa hasn’t been concerned about Gerry.
Gerry Is The Last Thing On Theresa’s Mind
She’s Over It
For his part, Gerry has been trying to rebrand himself since his reputation took a big hit in his divorce from Theresa.
Between her family, her career, and a beautiful garden she has been nurturing for many years, Theresa’s life is full, and she doesn’t seem to be thinking about Gerry. It’s entirely unfair that Gerry has shouldered the brunt of the blame for the split, but Theresa seems to have come out of The Golden Bachelor in a much better spot.
