Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist got engaged on “The Golden Bachelor” and are starting their new life together in Charleston, South Carolina, and are planning to have a wedding special set to air on ABC.
After getting engaged on the finale of The Golden Bachelor, Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist are starting their life together in a new city: Charleston, South Carolina. Gerry explained how fate played a hand in their decision to move to the city, saying, “And then in conversation with Theresa, a private moment, she’s saying, ‘Well, yeah, my son lives near Charleston in South Carolina.’” Both he and Theresa have children and grandchildren who they hope will visit them.
For Gerry and Theresa, their families have also come together, with Theresa’s daughter describing Gerry’s daughters as her sisters. Both have previously been married, with Gerry sharing his two daughters, Jenny and Angie, with his late wife, Toni, who passed away in 2017. Meanwhile, Theresa has two children, Tommy and Jen, with her late husband Billy, who died in 2014 after being married for 42 years.
The Turner and Nist families will come together for Gerry and Theresa’s upcoming nuptials, which are set to be captured for a televised wedding special that will air on ABC in January 2024. Gerry explained the urgency of their wedding plans due to their age, saying, “As quickly as we can put together a wedding plan, we’re getting married.” The couple will also be celebrating Hanukkah and the holiday season with their families.
While their journey on The Golden Bachelor was not without its complications, they are now looking forward to the future, with Gerry apologizing to his runner-up, Leslie, during the live After the Final Rose taping. Leslie, in turn, expressed that while she doesn’t necessarily accept his apology, she does understand it and wishes him and Theresa the best.
