‘Golden Bachelor’s Theresa Nist Makes Major Change Nearly 1 Year After Gerry Turner Split
It’s been 11 months since Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist shared the shocking news that they were divorcing after just three months of marriage. Nist has been focused on herself and her family since the split, but she revealed a new update earlier this month.
The Season 1 Golden Bachelor winner debuted a brand new look on Instagram and explained why she made the change.
“I started getting gray hair in my 30s,” Nist shared. “So, it’s been many years of coloring it and it’s actually darker now than it originally was. So, for a long time, I’ve been thinking about go [sic] a little bit lighter and I finally did and it makes me happy! Are you thinking of making any changes to your hair or do you love it just the way it is?!”

Along with the inspiring message, Nist also shared photos of her new ‘do. The honey locks were much lighter than the brown hair fans are used to seeing her with!
Nist got engaged to Turner on The Golden Bachelor in 2023. They wasted no time tying the knot and got married in a televised wedding in January 2024, less than two months after they were able to go public with their relationship. When the couple announced their split that April, they revealed that not being able to decide where to live — he’s from Indiana and she’s from New Jersey — was a major factor in the decision to divorce.
However, Nist has since admitted that there was more to it than that, although she hasn’t specified exactly what happened. “It’s not just the location thing,” she said on the Almost Famous podcast in November. “You really can’t know someone in four weeks. I’ll just say that. That’s all I can say. I don’t want to say any more than that.”
Turner was diagnosed with cancer just weeks before the breakup, but Nist has insisted that, on her end, the diagnosis was not to blame for the end of the marriage.
