Teresa Nist is done insulting our intelligence.
As most celebrity gossip followers know by now, Nist married Jerry Turner in January of this year…not long after she was named Turner’s winner on the first season of The Golden Bachelor.
And three months later, the couple announced their divorce.
At the time, Turner cited “heartfelt conversations” between the two, but Nist cited distance as the basis for the separation.
“We looked at a house in South Carolina, we looked at a house in New Jersey, we looked at houses one after another, but we just couldn’t make a decision.” Even after they exchanged vows, Coupe lived separately. She talked about how she continued. .
It all seemed a little fishy to even the most casual observer.
Who gets engaged and gets married without knowing how to live with each other?
Fast forward to the Nov. 4 episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast, and Nist told a much different story.
“It’s not just a matter of location,” Teresa confessed on air. “You don’t really get to know someone in four weeks. I’ll just say that. That’s all I can say. I don’t want to say anything else.”
This makes a lot of sense.
This certainly explains why relationships don’t work out for couples who met on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Because it’s impossible to fall in love with someone on camera while being transported to a tropical location and ABC paying for your adventure. It’s very different from settling into a real relationship.
Turner and Nist finalized their divorce in June.
The former reality star told podcast star Ashley Iaconetti that she and Turner went into their wedding with honest intentions…but the quick timeline from their engagement to their wedding day meant that the network Facilitated by a call from.
It was too soon.
“I went into this job really wanting to fall in love, and I did,” Nist asserted, noting that ABC’s Free Wedding inspired their immediate commitment.
“We said, ‘Okay, they’re offering this to us now.’ It was now, not later.” And we said, “If you’re really going to get married, you can’t dream of it. We should do this because it will make our wedding a reality.” And since we are old, why waste time? Please do it now. ”
Nist went on to say that the two had intended to live together, but that Turner came up with the idea of splitting their time between Charleston and their home in Indiana.
Teresa didn’t like this idea.
“The world just wants a love story and wants you to move on. You don’t know how you’re going to feel until you actually have to make a decision,” she added.
“It’s very difficult. I want to be in love. I want to be with someone. I think love is the most important thing for me, and it’s love for family and having a life partner. That’s what I want.”
