Heavy/ABC Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner are engaged.
The first season of “The Golden Bachelor” has finished airing, and that means Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist can be public about their engagement. It did not take long for Nist to start sharing photos of her with Turner on her Instagram now that she doesn’t have to hide it anymore.
Turner and Nist revealed during “The Golden Bachelor” finale that they got engaged during the final rose ceremony in Costa Rica. They are very happy together, and the couple surprised everybody by revealing they will be getting married in a live televised special on ABC on January 4, 2024.
Judging by the posts Nist shared, she is fully head-over-heels in love with Turner, and he is clearly just as smitten.
