Theresa Nist Poked Fun At Her Golden Bachelor Divorce
She and Gerry Turner announced their split on April 12.
A few weeks after The Golden Bachelor couple announced their divorce, Theresa Nist is already poking fun at people’s insatiable appetite for news about it.
She and Gerry Turner announced their split on April 12, three months after tying the knot at their “Golden Wedding” ceremony. The breakup sparked a wave of reactions, which haven’t gone unnoticed by Theresa. On May 2, she took to Instagram to mock the ongoing coverage.
She posted a gallery of photos of her posing with a trash can, writing in the caption, “The Golden Bachelor star Theresa Nist was seen taking out her trash inside her office. Theresa wore a short dress from Zara and a hint of berry lipstick to do the chore but left her cell phone on her desk.” She continued, “This was the second time Theresa was spotted since she and Gerry announced their divorce. The trash can appeared to be empty.”
Many of Theresa’s followers quickly praised her sense of humor, including the show’s runner-up, Leslie Fhima, who commented, “Omg this is the best!”
The Golden Divorce
Gerry and Theresa met during The Golden Bachelor Season 1 before getting engaged in the show’s November 2023 finale. The couple were married in a Jan. 4 televised wedding ceremony.
Roughly three months later, they announced they’d be divorcing in a joint Good Morning America interview. During their sit-down, Gerry explained that he and Theresa “had a number of heart-to-heart conversations” before deciding to go their separate ways, citing their inability to decide on a forever home as a major factor in the breakup.
Theresa later posted an emotional letter to fans, thanking them for their support. Along with an image of a Dr. Seuss quote (“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”), she wrote on Instagram, “You are all such wonderful human beings. ... It means the world to me that you took the time to reach out.”
