The Golden Bachelor winner Theresa Nist’s reputation was tarnished after she and Gerry Turner announced their divorce just three months after their Golden Wedding, but she’s now moving on with an exciting career opportunity. During The Golden Bachelor season 1, Gerry, a 72-year-old retired restaurateur from Hudson, Indiana, and Theresa, a 70-year-old financial services professional from Shrewbury, New Jersey, got engaged, and they got married just a few months later. However, they got divorced because they couldn’t decide where to live because neither one of them wanted to leave their family.
