Season 1 of The Golden Bachelor debuted in the fall of 2023, and the couple fell in love with each other. By the end of the season, they were engaged.
Together, the pair revealed on Good Morning America that they were divorcing. They claimed that both parties had agreed on the decision.
“Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations, and we’ve looked closely at our situation, our living situation, and so forth, and we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to dissolve our marriage,” Turner said.
Turner and Nist indicated that despite their earlier declarations that they were “100% committed” to keeping their marriage intact, distance eventually became a problem. Nist resides in New Jersey and Turner in Indiana.
“I still love this person. There’s no doubt in my mind, I still am in love with her. I root for her every day,” Turner remarked. Nist replied, “I still love him.”
However, a source claims that Turner and Nist’s relationship “was never going to work.” The source continues, “Things have been tough for months. They’ve been fighting since right after the wedding.”
Additionally, they were unable to take advantage of their May 2024 scheduled Italian honeymoon. Before “heading down to Sorrento and the Amalfi coast” to finish the trip, Nist had previously stated on Instagram that the pair planned to travel into Rome and spend a few days in Tuscany.
The couple continued by expressing their gratitude to everyone who had encouraged them in their love and to those they had influenced.
Turner and Nist are now on the lookout for love once more. Nist clarified, “And we tell everybody else to continue to look for love.” Nist was still wearing the ring, which she intended to return, but Turner said, “We don’t have to give back the memories.”
