The married couple have announced their split three months after their televised wedding.
“Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations, and we’ve looked closely at our situation, our living situation, so forth and — and we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to — dissolve our marriage,” Gerry said in the interview.“We have received so much love and support from so many people who watched ‘The Golden Bachelor,’ and I don’t think we can tell you how many people told us that it gave them so much hope,” Theresa said.
Gerry and Theresa captured hearts last fall in the first season of “The Golden Bachelor,” a new “Bachelor” spinoff where seniors could find love. Gerry, a 72-year-old from Indiana, was the show’s first lead and chose Theresa, a 70-year-old from New Jersey. They had both been married to their respective high school sweethearts, who died following illnesses.“I still love this person,” Gerry said. “There’s no doubt in my mind, I still am in love with her. I root for her every day.
The couple said in their April 12 interview that though rumors circulated that they were living separately, that didn’t play into their decision to divorce. “Gerry had already discussed that with me,” Theresa said. “He had explained it to me before the report was ever released, so we were good with that.”Will there be a ‘Golden Bachelorette'?
