Since the divorce announcement, Theresa has branded herself as a kindly grandmother, implying she is innocent in the split.
The truth is that it takes two, and Theresa is just as responsible for the divorce as Gerry is. When they got married, they both knew they had geographic challenges, with Theresa living in New Jersey and Gerry living in Indiana. The Golden Bachelor couple broke up because neither wanted to move away from their children and grandchildren.
Gerry’s Attempts At Looking Like The Good Guy Aren’t Working
He’s Only Making Things Worse
Gerry enjoyed high popularity until the moment he announced his divorce from Theresa, and the fans turned on him completely. Though Gerry and Theresa were equally to blame for their divorce, fans took Theresa’s side. On top of that, there was speculation that Theresa was over Gerry while he was still pining over what could have been with her. Wanting to decrease notions of his lack of desirability, Gerry made comments about his love life to TMZ. He claimed that since being single, women have been flooding his social media DMs.
This seemed like a clear attempt on Gerry’s part to make himself look like he’s still desirable to many women, and it may even be true.
Like Theresa, Gerry is also a widow. He was married to Toni Turner for 43 years before she passed away in 2014 after a brief illness. The Golden Bachelor claimed that he had been single since her death, but it was revealed that he had been in a long-term relationship with a live-in girlfriend. Fans were willing to forgive Gerry for this dishonesty, but it would later influence their overall opinions about Gerry.
People Feel Bad For Theresa
They Don’t Feel Bad For Gerry
Though Gerry and Theresa are equally responsible for the demise of their marriage, Gerry has shouldered the lion’s share of the blame. Maybe it’s because he’s a man, or perhaps because of the way Theresa has handled herself post-divorce. While Gerry had been flaunting his desirability, Theresa had been spending time with her family.
Theresa’s wholesome social media posts highlight her cherished role as a loving mother and grandmother.
