Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s last interview as a couple revealed a lot about their relationship.
The Golden Bachelor couple opened up about their romance ups and downs on a March episode of the “Dear Shandy” podcast just weeks before announcing their split after three months of marriage.
“Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations and we’ve looked closely at our situation — our living situation — and we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s time for us to dissolve our marriage,” Gerry, 72, revealed on the April 12 episode of Good Morning America, adding that it was the “best for the happiness of each of us to live apart.”
Us Weekly broke the news that Gerry had filed for divorce in his Indiana hometown that same day, citing an “irretrievable breakdown” as the reason for the split.

First Impressions
Gerry told podcast cohosts Sharleen Joynt and Andy Levine that he had a “good first impression” of Theresa when she made her Golden Bachelor debut in her “birthday suit.” Theresa, however, admitted that she wasn’t as confident in her limo entrance as she seemed.
“I didn’t want to do what I did. I’m the one who suggested it in the first place. But then when I knew what he was all about, I wanted to change it,” Theresa shared. “I said, ‘No, I don’t want to do this anymore. We have the same story. This doesn’t make sense anymore for me to do this.’ But, you know, I went through with it.”
Despite second-guessing her choice, Theresa said she felt an “intense attraction” to Gerry upon exiting the limo. “I was just trying to get through the moment. And I go, ‘Oh, wow. Like, something’s happening here.’”
Their immediate attraction led Gerry to break his kids’ rule him to not kiss anyone on the first night of the show. “I screwed up right off the bat,” he joked. “She got me right from the get-go.”
