Last year, Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist captured the hearts of reality TV romance enthusiasts when he chose her as his bride on “The Golden Bachelor.” Unfortunately, their relationship came to an end a few months later.
Following their breakup, Turner revealed to People that one of the reasons for their split was his cancer diagnosis.
Turner disclosed that he was diagnosed with a slow-growing “bone marrow cancer” around the same time they were trying to establish their life together as a married couple.
The pair got married on TV in January after a whirlwind romance that began on an ABC reality show.
When Turner and Nist announced their separation on “Good Morning America,” they hinted at the challenges of living in different states as a factor in their decision.

Turner shared that his cancer diagnosis came as he was embarking on a new chapter with Nist.
He mentioned that the news of his illness was initially a shock, and he struggled to come to terms with it.
Turner informed Nist about his condition in February before undergoing further medical tests.
Reflecting on the impact of his diagnosis, Turner emphasized the importance of spending time with his family and reevaluating his priorities.
He expressed hope that fans would understand the complexities behind their breakup and reconsider their initial judgments.
