Jesse Palmer, the host of the Bachelor franchise, shared his thoughts on Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s decision to divorce after three months of marriage. Palmer expressed his love and gratitude towards the couple, whom he had the opportunity to get to know during their journey to love on The Golden Bachelor. He attended their televised wedding in January and learned valuable lessons about life, love, and family from them. Palmer wished both Turner and Nist and their families nothing but happiness in the future.
Turner, 72, and Nist, 70, announced their breakup on Good Morning America, citing their inability to agree on where to put down roots as the reason for their split. Despite their love for each other, they decided it was best to dissolve their marriage and live apart. They had several heart-to-heart conversations and mutual understanding in making this difficult decision. Nist and Turner disclosed that they had a prenuptial agreement in place and had to return their wedding rings according to the rule, although they did not have to give back the memories they shared together.
Following their announcement, Turner filed for divorce in his hometown of Petersburg, Indiana, listing irretrievable breakdown of the marriage as the reason for the split and naming the day of their breakup announcement as the date of separation. This legal step marked the official end of their brief marriage. Palmer and other members of Bachelor Nation were not the only ones to offer their thoughts on the couple’s breakup, as Golden Bachelor contestant Susan Noles and Kathy Swarts also shared their support for Turner and Nist. Noles and Swarts wished the couple all the best and encouraged others to stay positive and be supportive during this challenging time.
