Gerry Turner—TV’s first “Golden Bachelor”—allegedly began the week of March 18th by “slamming” rumors that he and his new wife, Theresa Nist, are getting a divorce. Shockingly, The U.S. Sun even claimed that Gerry “savagely” called one critical “fan” a “Karen.”
Gerry took the opportunity to post recent photos of him and Theresa in the stands at his granddaughter’s volleyball competition. The Sun alleged that Gerry did that to silence the “fans” who doubted that he and Theresa “were still together.”

Theresa and Gerry got hitched on live TV at the beginning of January, and their guests included friends and family members. Gerry’s volleyball-playing grandkid, Charlee Young, and her sister, Payton, were in the wedding party as junior bridesmaids.
The volleyball competition was held in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Sun reported that Gerry posted a “carousel of new photos” on Instagram to show “how proud he was of Charlee,” and maybe prove he was still a married man.
Gerry took live-action pictures of Charlee on the volleyball court and group shots with her teammates. He also shared a photo of himself embracing Theresa and his daughter Angie.
Gerry captioned the photos, “What better way to spend a Saturday than watching your granddaughter play volleyball with Theresa and all the family.” Sounds like a great PR move, Gerry.
Many Viewers Have Been Asking Where Theresa Has Been
The “Golden Bachelor” faced some pretty severe criticism late last year. A shocking article in The Hollywood Reporter made revealing claims about Gerry’s “Not-So-Golden Past.”
Gerry and Theresa’s televised wedding on January 4th was seen as a ratings success. Neilsen data showed that “5.22 million” viewers tuned into “live + same-day” coverage.
But the disbelievers are still bugging Gerry about his “Golden” marriage. The Sun reported that “plenty of viewers” have been leaving comments on Gerry’s social media asking where Theresa is.

On March 1st, Gerry posted a selfie online with Jackie Kawamoto, a professional pickleball player. The Sun described the photo as Gerry and Jackie “smiling while on a pickleball court, and it looked like they had just played an intense game.”
Gerry wrote that playing pickleball with Jackie “was an absolute treat.” He called Jackie a “wonderful person and a great athlete.” Gerry claimed they had “raised a lot of money for a worthwhile charity.”
But Gerry’s fans (critics?) on social media had an issue with his post, including the fan that Gerry called a “Karen” when he blasted her in the comments section. Some fans kept it polite, asking where Theresa was. But the “harsh” comments included putdowns like Theresa had gotten “smart and dumped” Gerry.
Gerry Gave a Commenter a “Grammer” Lesson
Gerry has been accused of being a cheapskate. Critics in the comments section wondered if “Theresa is probably still working” and if Gerry doesn’t want to. Someone claimed that Gerry “don’t want to spend any money.”
The Sun reported that Gerry was “quick to clap back.” Gerry told the critic that she should have written doesn’t, not don’t, as in, “he doesn’t want to spend any money.” He also wrote, “Grammer is so important when communicating, Karen.”
But Gerry didn’t do himself any favors by giving that so-called “Karen” a “grammer” lesson. Another critic quickly wrote that he misspelled the word and should have typed “Grammar.”

Gerry’s critics laughed at his spelling mistake. Someone even replied, “The pot calling the kettle black… he’s such a [clown].”
At least Gerry got some positive responses when he posted the photo carousel from Charlee’s volleyball tournament. One true-blue fan mentioned the “beautiful pic” of Gerry, his wife, and daughter. They added, “What more can u ask for, an enjoyable afternoon with the families.”
Someone else wrote, “Aww, family photo. You and Theresa look so happy.” While another fan claimed they were “so happy for you, your beautiful wife Theresa & all the rest of the family!”
