'The Golden Bachelor' star Gerry Turner received a bone marrow cancer diagnosis in March, which affected his decision to end his relationship with Theresa Nist.
'The Golden Bachelor' star Gerry Turner's health had a decline earlier this year. On Wednesday, Turner told People magazine that he was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer in March, which greatly impacted his decision to get a divorce from Theresa Nist. 'There's a topic that I haven't wanted to talk about until now,' Turner told the outlet, referring to his split from Nist.
Turner added, 'Hopefully they'll look at things a little bit differently, that maybe it wasn't quite a rash, fast decision that people thought. That there was something else going on.' Amid Turner's diagnosis, he adopted a new mindset based on Tim McGraw's song 'Live Like You're Dying.' 'I'm going to pack as much fun as I possibly can into my life and enjoy every moment.
Turner and Nist revealed that love simply was not enough to keep their marriage going during a joint interview on 'Good Morning America' in April. 'We looked at homes in South Carolina. We considered New Jersey. And we just looked at home after home, but we never got to the point where we made that decision,' Nist said at the time.
Turner added, 'I still love this person. There’s no doubt in my mind I still am in love with her. I root for her every day.' Nist agreed, 'Yeah, I still love him.'
