Since Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist announced their divorce, speculations have run rampant about the possibility of The Golden Bachelor season 1 couple getting back together. Gerry and Theresa captured the world's romantic imaginations when the couple got married during a nationally televised dream wedding in early January. Gerry, a retired restaurateur, was selected to lead The Bachelor spin-off, which replaced the usual cast of young singles with baby boomers looking for a second chance at love.

Gerry and Theresa's love story was like a dream come true, but, like all dreams, it came to an abrupt end. The Golden Bachelor season 1 couple announced their divorce in April, which was only about three months after their dream Golden wedding. Gerry and Theresa cited disagreements over where they'd live as the main reason for their split, which was a problem they'd tried to work through during the entire short-lived marriage. Though many people are still rooting for Gerry and Theresa, the pair should never get back together.

Long Distance Marriage Doesn't Work

Before Gerry and Theresa ed the cast of The Golden Bachelor season 1, they lived very different lives. Gerry had been married to the love of his life, Toni Turner, for 43 years until she ed away in 2017. They had built their dream house on a lake in Indiana right before she'd fallen ill.

Gerry and Toni had two children and two grandchildren.

Like Gerry, Theresa was also a widower who had lost her husband, William Nist, in 2014 after 42 years of marriage and two children. Before her stint on The Golden Bachelor season 1, Theresa lived in New Jersey, where she's close to her children and grandchildren.

Theresa Seems Over Gerry

She Is Ready To Move On

Since announcing their divorce, Theresa has been spending time with family and friends. She is also continuing to pursue her finance career and tending her magical garden. The Golden Bachelor season 1 alum recently announced that her daughter was pregnant with her seventh grandchild.

Theresa has a lot going on in her life and doesn't need Gerry.

Gerry & Theresa Want Different Things Out Of Life

Irreconcilable Differences

If doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result is the definition of insanity, it would be pure madness for Gerry and Theresa to get back together. The truth is, The Golden Bachelor season 1 couple shouldn't have been married in the first place. They had only known each other for a few months when they dove into the deep end, and they should have dated longer before The Golden Bachelor wedding took place. Since nothing has changed about Gerry and Theresa post-divorce, if they get back together, they'll get the same results.

The Golden Bachelor season 1 is available to stream on Hulu.
