Just hours after Gerry Turner<\/strong><\/a> and Theresa Nist<\/strong><\/a> announced their divorce plans<\/a>, she was photographed still wearing her wedding ring. Although her Neil Lane engagement ring was MIA, The Golden Bachelor<\/em><\/a> star\u2019s custom diamond band was on full display as she stepped out in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, on April 12.<\/span><\/p>\n The financial services professional, 70, looked a bit downcast as she emerged from a building. She was dressed casually in a pair of jeans for the outing. Just hours earlier, Theresa and Gerry, 72, confirmed that they would be divorcing after just three months of marriage.<\/span><\/p>\n \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 explained during a joint interview on Good Morning America<\/em>. \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<\/span><\/p>\n Although Gerry and Theresa tied the knot in January, they had yet to move in together and were still living separate lives in Indiana and New Jersey, respectively. The couple previously said that they were planning to move to South Carolina once they got married, while New Jersey also became an option after Gerry started spending some time there with his wife.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe looked at homes in South Carolina,\u201d Theresa confirmed on GMA<\/em>. \u201cWe considered New Jersey. And we just looked at home after home but we never got to the point where we made that decision.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The estranged couple said that they still \u201cloved\u201d each other and will \u201cstay in each other\u2019s lives\u201d after the split. Theresa also acknowledged that she\u2019d have to give back her engagement ring since the relationship didn\u2019t work out. \u201cI think that\u2019s the rule,\u201d she confirmed, while Gerry added, \u201cBut we don\u2019t have to give back the memories.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, a source exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> that the split wasn\u2019t as mutual<\/a> as the pair wanted the public to believe. \u201cFamilies and distance played a part, but Theresa really loved Gerry,\u201d a source dished. \u201cShe wanted to work at it more than him.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The duo got engaged on season 1 of The Golden Bachelor<\/em> in 2023. They were both widowed<\/a> after previously being married for more than 40 years. Theresa has two adult children with her late husband, William \u201cBilly\u201d Nist,\u201d while Gerry is a proud dad to two daughters. His first wife, Toni Turner, died in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
