Another one bites the dust. Just three months after Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist fell in love on The Golden Bachelor, the pair announced they are now divorcing.
The pair announced they're divorcing on April 12.
"Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations, and we've looked closely at our situation, our living situation, so forth and we've come to the conclusion mutually that it's probably time for us to dissolve our marriage," the pair said during a joint appearance on the April 12 episode of Good Morning America.
Nist added, "We have received so much love and support from so many people who watched The Golden Bachelor, and I don't think we can tell you how many people told us that it gave them so much hope. We want none of that to change for anybody."
The duo got engaged on 'The Golden Bachelor.'
The duo first met on Turner's season of The Golden Bachelor, which aired in September 2023. Turner was chosen as the lead after his first wife, Toni, passed away. Nist, 70, and Turner, 72, got engaged during the finale and went on to tie the knot in January in front of some members of Bachelor Nation, with the ceremony officiated by host Jesse Palmer.
In the months after their nuptials, it was revealed the couple was living separately.
The pair weren't living together after they got married, an insider said.

"It's hard to hear negative comments about yourself when you know that they're not true," she explained in an interview. "I mean, things like I'm a dependent personality — I lived by myself for nine years. And just comments about my intelligence, that was very hard. But you know who you are, and everybody's entitled to their opinion based on what they see."
"So, it's hard, but we're dealing with it," she added.
