Christina was eliminated in week three of the show, while Susan and Kathy left just before hometowns. Theresa, of course, made it all the way to the finale, where Gerry proposed and the pair married in early 2024.<\/p>\n But three months after tying the knot, Gerry and Theresa announced their divorce. By June, it was confirmed they had signed a marital settlement agreement, officially closing that chapter.<\/p>\n Since then, Gerry has gone public with his new girlfriend, Lana Sutton<\/strong>. \u201cI can\u2019t believe how many people in Charleston recognized us and wished us the best,\u201d Gerry captioned photos of the pair on Instagram after sharing the news with TMZ.<\/em><\/p>\n To his credit, Gerry told Theresa about his relationship before it made headlines. \u201cHe said, \u2018I just wanna let you know I met someone.\u2019 I said, \u2018That\u2019s wonderful. I\u2019m so happy for you.\u2019 He goes, \u2018I was afraid to tell you.\u2019 \u2018Why would you be afraid? I only want your happiness,\u2019\u201d Theresa told Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> in April 2025. \u201cLike, if this was the way it happened for him to find his person to go on the show, get married, and then find his person this way, then it was meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n As for Theresa, she\u2019s still looking for love on her own timeline. \u201cNothing is solidified yet. I\u2019m keeping my options open,\u201d she added. \u201cI want to take my time. I don\u2019t want to rush into anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
