Bob Guiney, from 'The Bachelor,' Suggests Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist's Marriage May Have Had Underlying Issues

Former Bachelor Bob Guiney has expressed concerns about Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist's divorce, stating that their marriage was fundamentally flawed from the start. He questioned whether Gerry and Theresa were willing to get couples counseling, noting that they could have realized to "maybe pump the brakes" before tying the knot. The couple confirmed on Nightline that they did see a counselor at some point in their relationship.

Gerry proposed to Theresa during the Golden Bachelor season finale in November 2023, and they got married in a live television special on January 4. Three months after exchanging their vows, the estranged couple announced their divorce. Bob suggested that they might not live the life of a married couple because they are already living separately.

A source confirmed that the duo was not living together despite house hunting, with Gerry staying in Indiana and Theresa in New Jersey. This was a large part of their decision to split. Bob explained that it is important to exhaust everything one can if you truly love someone, as someone who has gone through a divorce.

Bob left his season of The Bachelor in 2003 in a relationship with Estella Gardinier, but the duo did not get engaged and split shortly after the show ended. He later married Rebecca Budig in 2004 and they got divorced in 2010. He has since been married to Jessica Canyon.

In conclusion, Bob Guiney has expressed his difficulty in accepting the fact that Gerry and Theresa were not going to live together, as he has experienced firsthand.
