The Golden Bachelor ultimately saw Gerry Turner, 72, find love with 70-year-old Theresa Nist—with the two even marrying in a televised special—but the pair announced they were parting ways after three months of marriage in April.
Still, the former couple, who cited their dedication to each living close to their respective families in different states, don’t regret their time on the ABC reality series, nor do they want their breakup to shadow the positive effects of the show.
“We have received so much love and support from so many people who watched The Golden Bachelor, and I don’t think we can tell you how many people told us that it gave them so much hope,” Theresa told Good Morning America in a joint interview with Gerry. “We want none of that to change for anybody.”
And The Golden Bachelorette is already glittering, as Joan will get a second chance at love this fall.
