Theresa Nist, the winner of The Golden Bachelor, was recently spotted enjoying a day at the beach in a racy low-cut swimsuit in New Jersey. Despite navigating a public divorce from co-star Gerry Turner, Nist appeared joyful and carefree as she splashed through the waves and embraced a gray-haired man on the beach. Nist, who found love with the 72-year-old restauranteur Turner on the reality TV show, showcased her incredible figure in a white one-piece swimsuit, accessorized with simple silver jewelry. The former couple had a three-month marriage that ended in divorce, with Turner citing an ‘irretrievable breakdown’ of the marriage as the reason for the split.
Turner, a retired restauranteur from Indiana, and Nist, a securities professional from New Jersey, have both expressed dedication to their families as a major reason for their decision to separate. Turner revealed that numerous eligible women have approached him, both in person and through Instagram DMs, but he remains cautious of women who reach out to him first. The former couple never cashed in on their free honeymoon trip to Italy and had a prenuptial agreement in place, which likely expedited the divorce settlement process. Despite their quickie marriage, the couple never reached a decision on where to settle down together, with Nist revealing on Good Morning America that they considered homes in South Carolina and New Jersey before ultimately deciding to live apart.
Gerry Turner, who initially described himself as a retired restauranteur, sold his only Mr. Quick hamburger drive-in franchise in 1985. Turner had a previous 10-month live-in relationship with a woman between 2018-2019, but they split reportedly because he refused to bring her to his high school reunion due to her weight gain. The world of reality TV dating shows, including The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise, has a less-than-ideal track record for couples remaining together. Despite the passionate and devoted fan base of Bachelor Nation, only a handful of couples from the various shows have stayed together long-term. The success rate is highest for couples from Bachelor in Paradise, with 10 couples remaining together after nine seasons.
The split between Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner was announced on Good Morning America, with Turner citing their dedication to their families as a major reason for the decision to separate. Nist recently revealed that she’s about to become a grandmother to a seventh grandchild, highlighting her focus on her family. Turner expressed gratitude for the bold female attention he has received but remains cautious about entering into new relationships. Turner congratulated his former contestant Joan Vassos, who was named the first-ever Golden Bachelorette in an upcoming ABC spin-off, offering her words of encouragement and support. The former couple’s decision to end their marriage after just three months has attracted attention from fans of the reality TV dating show and the media.
In the photographs obtained by DailyMail.com, Theresa Nist appeared radiant and carefree as she played on the beach in New Jersey in a low-cut swimsuit. The 70-year-old reality TV star showcased her incredible figure, accessorizing with simple silver jewelry and beaming with joy despite the recent divorce from Gerry Turner. Turner, who filed for divorce from Nist on the same day they announced their split, has expressed a reluctance to rush into new relationships and a desire to meet someone organically. As Nist and Turner navigate the aftermath of their whirlwind romance and quickie marriage, the public remains captivated by their story and the ups and downs of their relationship.
