Considering his flashy appearance at the event, Turner seems to be handling his divorce pretty well. Turner isn’t just finding his way back to the limelight, but also spending time with his kids and grandkids, attending volleyball games and outings with his family.
Audiences are Still Reeling from Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s Split
Meanwhile, Gerry Turner’s return to the spotlight and his re-entry into the dating scene felt almost too quick for many fans. The way he has been handling his divorce without any remorse and even made a swift return to the reality TV scene, Turner left audiences buzzing about whether this was another calculated move to monetize his recent split.
Considering how Gerry Turner had previously spun lies on The Golden Bachelor—convincing the women as well as the audiences that he was still reeling from the loss of his wife, Tori—fans now wonder if his divorce from Theresa Nist was just another way of attracting sympathy and fame. While many fans are still processing his revelations from the OG show, Turner’s decision to return to the dating spotlight, sparked a wave of discontent.

Unfortunately, things fell apart and the duo announced their separation in April 2024. Thereafter, while Nist found joy in gardening and the presence of her family and friends, no one expected Turner to return to the spotlight so soon.
Now, based on the unpredictability of reality TV, Gerry Turner’s latest move could either be a bold step forward or a misstep that could forever ruin his image and turn him into a topic of gossip.
