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

Gerry Turner, the star of a popular dating show, had a short-lived marriage with Theresa Nist. In his upcoming book, Turner shares that their relationship took a surprising turn right after their wedding. He recalls that Nist asked him to sleep on the couch on his first night at her house, saying she needed a good night's sleep before a busy workday. Turner agreed, but he couldn't help but wonder why she made that request. Their relationship didn't improve much after that. Turner mentions that he never moved from the couch to the bed, and they never talked about changing the sleeping arrangements. This was quite different from how Nist behaved when they were engaged in Costa Rica. Turner thought that 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. Turner describes feeling rejected and confused. He started to question if Nist was 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 started to notice other things that bothered him, like Nist's reaction to his driving and her comments about his clothes. Their relationship started on a dating show, where they got engaged in the finale. They got married in January 2024, but filed for divorce just three months later. Turner's book gives a glimpse into their short-lived marriage and the challenges they faced.
