The people of Bachelor Nation have very strong opinions when it comes to the contestants on their favorite reality dating shows, and Gerry Turner has faced some “rage and cruelty” since he announced his separation from Theresa Nist. However, not everyone is taking Theresa’s side because it seems Gerry has quite a few women sliding into his DMs.
The 72-year-old retiree previously said he is definitely not
dating again, but apparently when that time comes, he’ll have plenty of options. The Golden Bachelor star talked to TMZ: Gerry doesn’t feel like the Jenners were super intrusive … he says they were inclusive, gracious, warm, friendly, and elegant
. Women are not only sliding into his DMs after watching his journey on the show but also approaching him in person to give him their numbers. While flattered by the boldness, he is understandably cautious of these approaches given his newfound fame.
Life After Divorce
The ink has dried on the divorce paperwork finalizing the separation between Gerry and Theresa Nist, who split three months after tying the knot on national TV. During an interview on Good Morning America on April 12, Gerry revealed the decision to divorce. Despite facing harsh comments and scrutiny from fans and tabloids, he remains unbothered by the prospect of his ex-wife dating again.
Finding Love Again?
When Gerry decides to put himself out there again, don’t expect to see it on TV. He mentioned wanting to meet someone organically and plans to avoid dating apps. We can assume he’s still looking for a pickleball partner but this time around hopes to find a woman who lives in Indiana to avoid the issues that plagued his past marriage.
The Grand News for Theresa
Meanwhile, Theresa Nist has other things on her mind. She recently announced that her daughter Jen Woolston is expecting her fourth child. In an Instagram post shared by the Golden Bachelor winner: To everyone who has expressed love, support, and kindness to me I thank you from the bottom of my heart… You are all so kind to do so
.
The Hurdles of Living Separate Lives
The couple’s living situation played a significant role in their separation. According to TMZ, one reason they haven’t settled together is that it’s a complete hassle; they each have established homes in their states. Gerry currently resides at his lake house in Indiana while Theresa lives in New Jersey working as a compliance officer.
An Expanding Family
This new baby will be Theresa’s seventh grandchild as she is already a grandmother to six boys. Whether this new addition will finally be a girl remains something we’ll have to wait for.
Supportive Friends Amid Controversy
Theresa’s friend Susan Noles took Gerry’s side in their breakup attributing it partly because Theresa wouldn’t quit her job or move away from family. Their relationship was even more complex with fellow contestants sharing diverse opinions publicly.
