The Golden Bachelor Star Gerry Turners Intentions Amid Theresa Divorce

Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s marriage, which began with high hopes on The Golden Bachelor, has come to a surprising conclusion amid rumors and revelations. While the couple’s decision to part ways was initially attributed to geographic differences, recent discussions suggest deeper issues.

Disagreements Over Land Use

According to Bachelor alum Ben Higgins, a key point of contention revolved around differing visions for land use during a trip to Indiana. Higgins revealed on the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast that during a drive through cornfields, This is a rumor…Not seeing eye-to-eye in life. Higgins described how Nist envisioned developing the untouched farmland into condos and resorts, an idea that Turner sharply opposed, reportedly saying, You don’t take land from a farmer.

The Underlying Rift

This disagreement symbolized larger philosophical differences between the pair. Higgins suggested, It was a big start to them disagreeing on how they saw the world and what they imagined for the world and how they wanted to invest into the world.

An Alleged Rumor and Its Fallout

Despite emphasizing that it was just a rumor, Higgins’ accounts have added fuel to speculations surrounding Turner’s true intentions. Theresa’s Instagram post post-divorce emphasizes her gratitude toward supporters: To everyone who has expressed love, support and kindness to me I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Nist’s Perspective

Amid the fallout, Nist maintains a positive outlook. In her social media posts, she assured fans that she is holding up well thanks to the support from family and friends. She states: I’m grateful for all the love and support we’ve received. Although things didn’t work out as we hoped, I still cherish our time together.

The Bachelor Community Responds

The divorce has sparked reactions across the Bachelor Nation. Fellow alum Ben Higgins shared his thoughts, emphasizing the importance of understanding different viewpoints. He noted, There’s areas that would benefit from development and economically…but there’s also deep cultural values tied to land use.

Susan Noles and Kathy Swarts of The Golden Bachelor‘s first season have expressed their support for both Turner and Nist. They shared in a joint statement: We’re so excited about our new podcast, where we will share some humor and life lessons. We wish both Gerry and Theresa all the best.

A New Chapter for Turner?

As Turner looks ahead, rumors continue to swirl regarding his future in reality TV. His primary goal appears focused on conveying hope to older viewers — that romance is possible at any age. Turner’s own words reflect this sentiment: I still love this person…there’s no doubt in my mind.
