The Golden Bachelor: Theresa Nist's Life-Changing News Proves She's Moving On From Heartbreaker Gerry Turner (She Has A New Guy In Her Life)

Star and ultimate winner of the first-ever season of The Golden Bachelor, Theresa Nist has grown from her tumultuous relationship with the leading man, Gerry Turner. While the pair hit it off on-screen and appeared to establish a strong connection, their post-filming marriage lasted only three months before their divorce. Although the pair seem to be on good terms, several updates have been revealed regarding Gerry’s inauthentic representation in the dating competition.

Following the finale of The Golden Bachelor season 1, Gerry endured major backlash for his deceit. After claiming he has been single for over 40 years following his late wife’s passing, it was confirmed Gerry was in several serious relationships, one of which began a month after her death. The pair claims the divorce was caused by arguments regarding their living situation, but many believe Gerry was never taking the commitment seriously. As Theresa severs ties with the “heartbreaker,” her life has only gotten better.
