The Golden Bachelor's Theresa Nist Drops Bombshell About Gerry Turner Divorce After He Ruined Reputation

The Golden Bachelor winner Theresa Nist just admitted there are secret reasons she and Gerry Turner got divorced that the public has no idea about. When The Golden Bachelor season 1 premiered, Bachelor Nation was reinvigorated. Unfortunately, Theresa and Gerry's relationship took a turn when they got divorced just three months after their live wedding. At the time, they claimed they couldn't decide on a city to settle down in together. Neither one wanted to leave their family and friends in New Jersey and Indiana, respectively. Ever since then, Gerry's reputation has fallen apart, while Theresa is still a fan-favorite.

On The Ben And Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast, Theresa divulged that when it comes to her and Gerry's divorce, there's more than meets the eye. She seemed hesitant to say much but admitted, "You really can't know somebody in four weeks. I'll say that. That's all I can say. I don't want to say any more than that. It's not something I want to discuss at this point." Theresa then cryptically added that their disagreement over where to live wasn't the only reason they got divorced. "It's not just the location thing. That's all I'll say," she said.

According to Theresa, Gerry's idea to settle the location dispute was that he would spend six weeks with her, then she would spend six weeks with him in their respective homes, but she didn't want that. She was "willing to move" since she wanted to have a home together and not "go back and forth." At one point, it seemed like they were going to find a place together in Charleston, South Carolina.

During the podcast interview, Theresa also opened up about getting married so soon after their engagement. Apparently, ABC wasn't willing to air their wedding at a later point in time. "It was now," according to Theresa, "and we said, 'If we really are going to get married, we should do it because we're going to get the wedding of our dreams.'" Both she and Gerry knew that they didn't want to "waste any time," especially since there was a "time constraint" on ABC's offer to host the wedding.

What Theresa Nist Refusing To Reveal Real Reason For Divorce Means

Theresa Knows Her Revelation Will Be Scrutinized

Theresa and Gerry decided to take ABC up on their offer, and the rest, as the saying goes, is history. Unfortunately, that history now includes a divorce that neither of them expected when they first signed on the dotted line to join The Golden Bachelor. Theresa may have gone through a traumatizing divorce that was plastered all over social media and TV for the world to see, but she's still not closing herself off from finding love again in the future.

Theresa appeared on a podcast to talk about The Golden Bachelor and her divorce, and went so far as to tease that the location situation wasn't the main reason for their split without actually revealing the bombshell explanation. Being a reality TV star now, she knows her words will be picked up and scrutinized, so that's why it's interesting that she decided to say anything at all. Instead of revealing the truth, she left metaphorical bread crumbs for fans to speculate about.

Our Take On Theresa Nist’s Hint About Gerry Turner Divorce

Theresa Feels Uncomfortable Revealing The Real Reason For Their Divorce

Theresa could have just stuck to her and Gerry's initial story. Instead, she's starting to open up a can of worms because the rumor mill will be overflowing now about what actually led to their split aside from the location situation. On the podcast, she was clearly very uncomfortable about going into detail, so she didn't. However, she is now back in the spotlight in a way that she might not like. Gerry's reputation has been damaged largely because of their divorce. Hopefully, The Golden Bachelor winner can stay above the fray and not get pulled down to his level.
