Gerry Turner's Unusual Honeymoon: A Story of Love and Distance

Gerry Turner, the star of a popular dating show, had a brief marriage with Theresa Nist. In his upcoming book, Turner reveals that their relationship took an unexpected turn immediately after their wedding.

The First Night

Turner recalls that on his first night at Nist's house, she asked him to sleep on the couch, saying she needed a good night's sleep before a busy workday. He agreed, but he couldn't help but question why she made that request.

A Relationship That Never Improved

Their relationship didn't get any better. Turner mentions that he never moved from the couch to the bed, and they never discussed changing the sleeping arrangements. This was a stark contrast to how Nist behaved when they were engaged in Costa Rica.

Turner thought the stress of planning a wedding and keeping their relationship a secret might have affected their dynamic, but he soon realized that wasn't the case.

Feeling Rejected and Confused

Turner describes feeling rejected and confused. He started to question if Nist was truly attracted to him or if he had done something to offend her. He also noticed that other forms of intimacy, like expressing their feelings and making each other a priority, seemed out of reach.

This lack of closeness made Turner bitter, and he began to notice other things that bothered him, such as Nist's reaction to his driving and her comments about his clothes.

A Marriage That Ended Too Soon

Their relationship began on a dating show, where they got engaged in the finale. They married in January 2024 but filed for divorce just three months later.

Turner's book offers a glimpse into their short-lived marriage and the challenges they faced.
