Did Theresa Nist Suffer Same Fate As Gerry Turner s Ex

Following the shock news that The Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner and his wife Theresa Nist are already set for divorce - just three months after their dream TV wedding - many fans have been left wondering if his new spouse suffered the same fate as his ex.

Gerry, 72, initially pulled on the hearts of millions as he was presented as a loving retired restaurateur who had not had a single date since his wife of 45 years suddenly passed away from an infection in 2017.

But late last year his wholesome image started to crack after he found himself engulfed in scandal when a report by The Hollywood Reporter unearthed a secret past that included a three-year relationship following the death of his wife and various blue-collar jobs.

It also alleged that Gerry had a three-year relationship with a woman who claimed she was dumped because she gained 10 pounds - in a move that did not match his onscreen persona.

Now, in the aftermath of his split from Theresa, 70, fans of the show have been left wondering what really went on behind the scenes - as FEMAIL takes a look at the shocking past allegations levelled against him.

Gerry, 72, initially pulled on the hearts of millions as he was presented as a loving retired restaurateur who had not had a single date since his wife of 45 years (pictured together) suddenly passed away from an infection in 2017 

Gerry and Theresa, who tied the knot in January during a televised wedding, had continued to live in separate homes following their nuptials.

But the couple announced the news of their split during an interview on Good Morning America this morning, when they opened up about the reasons for their shock separation.

'Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations, and we've looked closely at our situation, our living situation, so forth and - and we've kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it's probably time for us to - dissolve our marriage,' Gerry told host Juju Chang.

The split comes just weeks after a bombshell investigation into Gerry's life beyond the cameras uncovered a professional and personal history that did not match with his persona of a grieving man who hadn't gone on a first date in 40 years.

Namely, it was reported that he had been in a three-year relationship with a woman named Carolyn, who is 14 years his junior, whom he lived with for over a year at his Indiana lake house.

Carolyn told The Hollywood Reporter the two began dating after Gerry called her after his wife Toni's death to ask for help donating some clothes to charity. 

She claimed she quit her job to move in with Gerry in July 2018, but things soon went south, https://nhanlambangcap24h.com/ as his demands began to emerge. 

For example, he soon informed Carolyn she would have to pay about $1,000 a month for her share of expenses, which she managed to negotiate down to $850.

The image of Gerry painted by Carolyn is a far cry from the man presented on the show, who won over millions with his emotional awareness and wholesomeness. 

Gerry was reportedly so concerned with dividing costs that Carolyn would pay for her meals at restaurants beforehand so when the check game Turner could pretend he was paying the whole tab. 

The reality star was also allegedly obsessed with cleanliness and demanded Carolyn make the bed every morning before they had breakfast. 

The romance ended in late 2019, when, according to Carolyn, Gerry said he would not be taking her to his high school reunion because of her weight.

The Golden Bachelor allegedly said: 'I'm not taking you to the reunion looking like that.'

Gerry then told Carolyn she had to be out of the house by January 1, 2020, according to THR, which reviewed emails and texts between the former couple and spoke to people who witnessed the relationship.

Carolyn fell down the stairs while she packed and required emergency surgery but says Gerry accused her of using the fall as an excuse to extend her stay at his home and claimed she was planning on suing him over it.

Gerry wouldn't even let Carolyn stay at the home until she finished the two weeks of notice she had to give at her new job in Indiana, forcing her to stay at a hotel, she claimed.

In addition, his LinkedIn profile showed that he had not owned a restaurant since 1985, when he sold his Mr Quick hamburger franchise in Iowa (pictured)

The bombshell report came after The U.S. Sun previously reported that Gerry's claim that he had not dated since his wife's death may not have been accurate.

The outlet spoke to a friend of Gerry, Heather Lanning-Adams, who said he had dated a couple of women over the last six years.

Similarly, it was also alleged that Gerry had lied about his professional credentials too.  

While Gerry was introduced as a 'retired restaurateur' on the show, his LinkedIn profile shows he has not owned a restaurant since 1985, when he sold his Mr Quick hamburger franchise in Iowa, where had worked his way up since high school.

Since then, he has worked various sales and management jobs in the meat industry, per his resume on the website. 

Despite the show claiming he has been retired for decades, after selling his restaurant Gerry worked installing hot tubs and as a maintenance man in Iowa.

It was during his time as a maintenance man at the Vera French Mental Health Center in Davenport that he met Carolyn, but the two did not get together until two months after his wife died.
