The Golden Bachelor: Are Gerry Turner & Faith Martin Back Together After Gerry’s Theresa Nist Split?

Gerry Turner’s shocking split with Theresa Nist is giving The Golden Bachelor a chance to reconnect with his lost love, Faith Martin. Gerry is a 72-year-old retired restauranter from Indiana who became the first senior to lead the much-awaited spin-off. Gerry had been married to his high school sweetheart, Toni, since 1974 until her sudden death in 2017. Gerry met 22 women from all walks of life who vied for his final rose, but in the end, Gerry picked New Jersey-based compliance officer Theresa to be his wife.

Unfortunately, Theresa’s job played a major role in the ending of her marriage with Gerry, along with her desire to stay close to her family. Theresa grappled with the idea of leaving her job behind to move to Indiana or South Carolina with Gerry. Theresa and Gerry never took their relationship to the next level after their televised wedding special and never moved in together. Now that Gerry and Theresa are divorcing and he’s single again, viewers are wondering, if Gerry will rekindle his romance with Faith, a high school teacher from Benton City, Washington, who rode her motorcycle straight into Gerry’s heart.

Gerry & Theresa Are Divorcing After 3 Months Of Marriage

Why Did Gerry & Theresa Get Divorced?

Gerry and Theresa’s marriage lasted only for three months. The pair announced their divorce on a Good Morning America segment. They mentioned it was best for them and their families to dissolve the marriage. Gerry claimed they had several heart-to-heart conversations and assessed their situation closely before coming to the heartbreaking decision. The couple could never agree upon where to live and found it challenging to live together after shooting to fame thanks to the reality TV show. Interestingly, all love is not lost between Gerry and Theresa.

“I still am in love with her, I root for her every day.”

Theresa claimed they didn’t want to pretend to anybody. However, they do want the fans who were inspired by their love story to remain hopeful and not give up on love. According to NyPost, Gerry filed for divorce from Theresa in his hometown of Petersburg, Indiana. He mentioned their date of separation as April 12, 2024, in the legal documents. Meanwhile, Gerry and Theresa had a prenup in place and still considered themselves each other’s “best friends.”

Gerry Was Also In Love With Faith

Gerry Said “I Love You” To Faith In Front Of Her Family

Gerry might not take a long time to find love again as he moves on from his ex-wife. Gerry was already in love with Faith when he was on The Golden Bachelor. Gerry had Faith “say it out loud” in front of her family, and both had declared their love for each other before Gerry eliminated her. Gerry had traveled to Benton City, Washington, to meet Faith’s family. Gerry couldn’t stop himself from taking the risk and exchanging “I love you’s” with Faith.

However, Gerry sent Faith home after confirming to her family he was going to choose her. Her relationship with Gerry was the first time Faith had felt emotionally vulnerable in decades. Faith was blindsided when she was asked to leave and described it as a shock to her soul. Faith couldn’t get over her favorite moment from the show, which was getting the first impression rose from Gerry. Faith told Peopleshe still had “lingering feelings” for Gerry in November 2023. Faith still wanted to explore the spiritual connection they had.

“I would love to have him in my life somehow.”

Faith’s connection with Gerry was instantaneous. He fell for him hook, line, and sinker on their first one-on-one date on the yacht. Faith thought her kids had fallen in love with Gerry just like her. They were hopeful Faith would find true love since the death of their dad. Faith recalled how good it felt to be in Gerry’s arms. She was even ready to be friends with whoever Gerry ended up with so she could continue loving him but in a “nonromantic sense.” Gerry had touched a “special place” in her heart.

Are Gerry & Faith Reconnecting?

Will Gerry & Faith Get Back Together In 2024?

However, Faith had a hunch about why Gerry broke up with her. They lived different lifestyles and were in different states, just like Gerry and Theresa. Faith loved to camp, hike, and go horse riding, while Gerry was the pickleball type. She liked being outside rather than in, and that’s what made them so different. Faith knew her need to be close to home and close to her grandkids would have led them to split down the road. She wanted to be “more so in this neck of the woods” than in Indiana, as Faith told Katie Couric.

“He needed to know that because I’m just not the type of person that can see my kids a couple of times a year.”

Gerry had not brought it up, but Faith knew their relationship would have been a dead end. Considering it was their living situation that led Gerry and Theresa to dissolve their marriage, his agreeing to be a part of a similar situation with Faith seems like something Gerry wouldn’t be comfortable doing. Now that Faith is aware of the challenges that Gerry faces in his marriage with Theresa, she would think twice before attempting to romance him and find herself choosing the fickle-minded Golden Bachelor over her loved ones.
