As a seasoned observer of the ever-enthralling world of Bachelor Nation, I must say that the love stories that unfold within its confines are as captivating as they are unpredictable. From the rugged charm of Dean Unglert, who has traversed the rocky terrain of reality television with aplomb, to the radiant beauty and resilience of Caelynn Miller-Keyes, their journey from the #vanlife days to the altar is nothing short of extraordinary. Their camp-themed wedding in the Colorado mountains promises to be as enchanting as the Colorado wilderness itself.


Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner’s relationship couldn’t go the distance. 

However, it’s not just their disagreement over where to establish their new life that led to the former “Golden Bachelor” contestant’s divorce, as finalized in June following their separation in April.

In a recent episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast on November 4th, Theresa, aged 71, admitted, “It’s not just about the place itself.” She went on to explain, “Four weeks isn’t enough time to truly understand someone. That’s all I can say for now. I prefer not to reveal any more details.

Ashley Iaconetti wondered if the four-week event took place while filming for the first season of The Golden Bachelor (aired from September to November 2023), or later. However, Theresa clarified that it happened after the cameras had stopped rolling.

Over time, as they grew more familiar with each other after their public engagement, Theresa came to understand that she hadn’t known Gerry well before they got married.

Indeed, she remembered her daughter, Jen Wooltson, mentioning her 6-year-old son Henry’s remark to her prior to her televised January wedding. He said, “It suddenly occurred to me that you went on one date and are getting married!

Initially famous personality underlined the fact that she and Gerry, aged 72, entered their marriage with sincere motivations; however, the swift progression from proposal to wedding was reportedly sped up due to prompting from the media network.

She shared that she had gone in with a strong desire to find love, and indeed, she did. She mentioned that the free wedding ceremony offered by ABC was the catalyst for their swift decision. In essence, they thought, “If this is our chance to get married, we should take it now rather than later.” They also reasoned that if they were going to get married, they might as well do it and have the wedding of their dreams. As they’re older, they felt there was no need to delay and waste any more time; they decided to go ahead and do it immediately.

Despite Theresa describing the wedding as beautiful, boasting a number of Bachelor Nation stars among its guests, it didn’t take long to notice the strains in her and Gerry’s union.

To some extent, the breakup was influenced by distance, as they both acknowledged when they announced their separation in April. Notably, Gerry had proposed a modification to their original plan of residing in Charleston, expressing a wish to divide their time between Charleston and his residence in Indiana.

Theresa reminisced, ‘I didn’t like the constant traveling between places; instead, I yearned for a fixed abode – a charming home shared with Gerry. From there, we could visit our children whenever we wished.’

Although the disagreement eventually became too much to overcome, Theresa acknowledged Gerry’s choice to keep connections in Indiana, remarking, “He has a deep affection for his home, and honestly, I can understand why.

Yet, as Theresa mentioned, the flame in their relationship seemed to fade when Gerry proposed his concept for their eternal dwelling.

“It wasn’t what we had discussed,” she added. “It did change.” 

After the final rose ceremony, Theresa and Gerry are not unique in their split. Let’s explore the status of every romance.)

My heart’s telling me that you are amazing, you are everything that I’m looking for.” 

But days after the finale aired, the duo revealed they no longer saw forever in each other’s eyes. “While our paths are taking different directions due to our career goals not aligning,” they wrote in a joint Instagram post, “we are grateful for the love and support we’ve received from our family, friends, and Bachelor Nation.”

The love I feel for you is something I could have never imagined.”

However, the Los Angeles-based videographer maintains their separation was for the best. “Those close to me could see that my radiance had faded and I wasn’t flourishing,” she penned in a November 2022 post for her blog “Susie Was Like.” She admitted they “enjoyed many happy moments, but beneath the surface, I was struggling and felt out of sync with the best version of myself.

After dating Justin Glaze, a contestant from Bachelor Nation, Susie later revealed that they had parted ways as well, announcing their split in August of 2024.

As a lifestyle expert, I find myself reflecting on the beautiful vision of Sunday mornings that Maurissa Gunn and Riley Christian painted for us during their time on Bachelor in Paradise season seven.

The first same-sex pair from the Bachelor Nation became engaged during season six of ‘Bachelor in Paradise’, however, they revealed their separation in October 2019.

In their shared post on Instagram, they expressed that love and concern for each other has been central to their relationship. Their primary focus is making decisions that benefit them both. With hearts heavy with mutual affection, they’ve decided it’s best for them to step back from the relationship.

Never hurts to have a little practice run. While planning their September 2023 vows, Serena Pitt (a finalist on Matt James’ season) and Joe Amabile (the Chicago grocery store owner who found fame after Becca Kufrin sent him home night one in 2018) decided to just do the damn thing at City Hall near their New York City digs, roughly one year after leaving Paradise engaged. 

“JUST MARRIED !!” Serena, now hosting the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast with her husband, captioned the October 2022 video. “We are still having a wedding this September but who doesn’t want to get married twice!”

Consequently, the Maryland beauty queen, who previously captured Bachelor Matt’s heart, relocated to Kenny’s hometown of Chicago and started planning their future together. Before they exchanged vows in a 65-guest oceanfront ceremony in Puerto Rico in November 2023, they made their relationship permanent by getting matching tattoos during a trip to the Bahamas in May 2023.

Kneeling down, Blake said to Katie, “You are worth the universe, and I’m thrilled about being your supporter and companion each day ahead.

Three months following the broadcast of their proposal, they revealed their separation.

In the 2020 season of The Bachelorette that Clare Crawley stepped away from, Tayshia Adams entered and developed a deep affection for Zac Clark. Despite exiting the show with an engagement, Tayshia, who had taken over as co-host after serving as the lead, later disclosed that their relationship experienced some highs and lows.

She acknowledged that it can be challenging to be in a new relationship and then take a break for a couple of weeks, as she expressed candidly on the “The Ben and Ashley I. Almost Famous” podcast in August 2021.

After that incident, it seemed as though we needed to recall why we were together, which is perfectly normal. (November 2021 update: TopMob News reported that they had parted ways.)

Following a brief courtship with Hannah Ann Sluss and later separation from Madison Prewett, fans had high hopes for Peter’s third attempt at love.

She said, “All along, I merely requested a complete commitment from someone, similar to what I was giving them.
