The couple is divorcing and confirmed the news less than an hour before they discussed the news in an interview on\u00a0Good Morning America<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it\u2019s probably time for us to dissolve our marriage,\u201d Gerry, 72, said in the GMA<\/em> interview. When host\u00a0Juju Chang<\/strong> asked the pair if they were getting divorced, they confirmed the news.<\/p>\n They made the decision after realizing that they couldn\u2019t agree on where to live. \u201cThe thing that strikes me the most and in our conversations it\u2019s been how dedicated both of us are to our families,\u201d Gerry continued. \u201cSo we look at these situations and I think we just feel like it\u2019s best for the happiness of each of us to live apart.\u201d<\/p>\n Gerry and Theresa met during season 1 of The Golden Bachelor<\/em>, which aired in September 2023.

The restauranter lives in Indiana while Theresa resides in New Jersey with her family<\/p>\n \u201cFor the last couple of years, when my family gets together, I\u2019ve talked about moving to South Carolina, and it\u2019s an idea I\u2019ve toyed with. And then in conversation with Theresa, a private moment, she\u2019s saying, \u2018Well, yeah, my son lives near Charleston in South Carolina,\u2019\u201d Gerry told People<\/em><\/a> in a story published on December 1, 2023. \u201cAnd all of a sudden it\u2019s like, there\u2019s a big problem that is gone. The issue of compromising on where to live and how to reconcile families and all of that is, it\u2019s no longer an issue.\u201d<\/p>\n However, their plans to relocate were put on hold as their focus was to walk down the aisle at their wedding at La Quinta Resort in La Quinta, California. Gerry and Theresa exchanged vows<\/a> on January 4 surrounded by a mass of Bachelor Nation stars and fans were able to watch the televised wedding on ABC.<\/p>\n Once they became Mr. and Mrs., it was time for planning once again, this time, for their romantic honeymoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cHaving so much fun planning and dreaming about our honeymoon in May to Italy,\u201d Theresa wrote via Instagram in January. \u201cFlying into Rome, spending a few days in Tuscany and then heading down to Sorrento and the Amalfi coast. I\u2019ve been to Italy twice, once when I was 18, and again to visit my daughter when she studied abroad there. I can\u2019t wait to experience it with Gerry!\u201d<\/p>\n April kicked off with news that Gerry and Theresa were still living separately<\/a> after their nuptials.
