The first The Golden Bachelor lead, Gerry Turner, is rubbing his happiness in ex-wife Theresa Nist's face amid his damaged reputation. The Golden Bachelor season 1 ran from late September 2023 to late November 2023 and aired 9 regular episodes plus one reunion episode. Gerry dated a cast of 22 eligible senior women during his season, and his final three were Theresa, Leslie Fhima, and Faith Martin. Ultimately, Gerry blindsided Leslie and chose Theresa. The pair were married January 3rd, 2024, but divorced in April 2024, which contributed to Gerry's damaged reputation.
Post-divorce, Gerry has been trying to fix his public perception but was recently absent from social media for twenty days. He broke that Instagram ghosting by rubbing his happiness in Theresa's face by sharing a joyous post about his active and social lifestyle.
In his post, Gerry shared a carousel of ten photos from an active outing he did in Michigan with a large group of people. The photos included a smiling group selfie along with photos of the different men and women he did a bike ride with.
Have Gerry Turner & Theresa Nist Fully Moved On From Each Other?
They Are Both Trying To Present Themselves A Certain Way
In Gerry's caption, he touted the amazing time he had and emphasized how many laughs were shared.
"Recently returned from an awesome bike trip to Michigan. If you ever get the chance to pedal from Charlevoix to Petoskey along Lake Michigan, don't pass it up! Sunshine and clean air await you. It was a trip full of beach time, good food, great friends, and LOTS of laughs."
Gerry seemed to want to present a positive front amid his divorce from Theresa, and in doing so, he rubbed his happiness in his ex-wife's face.
Gerry has further damaged his reputation post-season after his divorce by attending a dating event and rubbing shoulders with the Kardashian clan, making it seem like he wants to keep his celebrity.
Moreover, Gerry's ex-girlfriend came forward to allege that Gerry was insensitive and cruel towards her. When the allegations surfaced, The Golden Bachelor viewers, per Gerry, thought he hadn't dated anyone since his wife passed away. Now that Gerry is trying to make Theresa jealous or upset with his post-divorce life, it only adds to his bad perception.
Gerry and Theresa participated in Celebrity Family Feud as a divorced couple in July 2024, and that seems to be the last time the pair spent time together. Aside from that, Theresa has been taking steps to move on from The Golden Bachelor's Gerry by enjoying time with her friends and season 1 cast mates. She does not appear to be letting Gerry's attempts at making it known he's over her to affect her. Gerry, although presenting one way, might be posting his happiness to mask his hurt from the divorce.
