The gold is officially gone.
“Golden Bachelor” lead Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist finalized their divorce on Thursday, according to TMZ.
Turner, 72, filed to divorce Nist, 70, in April after three months of marriage.
Per TMZ, the exes’ marital settlement agreement was also signed off by a judge on Thursday. They had a prenup and didn’t have any children together.
Turner reportedly spent $157 total in his divorce court fees.
On April 12, Turner and Nist shocked the world when they announced they were getting divorced after three months of marriage. They made the emotional announcement on “Good Morning America.”
The former couple said that they couldn’t agree on where to live together. Nist is from New Jersey, while Turner lives in Indiana.
“We just feel like it’s best for the happiness of each of us to live apart,” Turner said on “GMA.”
“I still love this person. There’s no doubt in my mind,” he added.
Last month, “Golden Bachelor” contestant Susan Noles weighed in on the reason for the pair’s breakup.
“I’ve gotta support this man a little bit. I feel like he got the wrong end of it. Theresa decided not to move and not to quit her job. He got frustrated. Who can blame him? I mean, I would’ve never said I would move to that place wherever that is in the middle of nowhere,” Noles said on “The Jess Cagle Show with Julia Cunningham.”
Nist was the winner of the inaugural season of “The Golden Bachelor” where Turner, a widower, stole America’s hearts.
Turner proposed to Nist over runner-up Leslie Fhima in Costa Rica on the finale, which aired in November.
The couple got married in an ABC-televised ceremony on January 4.
Two months before the wedding, Turner faced criticism when a woman identified only as “Carolyn” alleged to the Hollywood Reporter that she dated him for a few years before finding love on TV.
Their relationship, however, fizzled out in 2019 when Turner allegedly dumped her after she gained 10 pounds mere months before his high school reunion.
Turner denied the accusations, saying that he doesn’t “have time to think about some of the other stuff.”
“I’ve more looked at it in terms of timing, and how it really doesn’t fit with all of the positive things that are going on in my life right now,” he said.
ABC has already announced the next star of the show, the first “Golden Bachelorette” — 61-year-old grandma Joan Vassos from Maryland, who appeared on Turner’s season.
