Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist announced their divorce via Good Morning America on April 12, but did they tell his dad Everett first? If not, it must have been a huge surprise for him. It would also be interesting to find out if he told any of his daughters as well.
Gerry Turner’s Dad Everett Didn’t Like Theresa Nist
In December last year, Everett got candid about Theresa Nist and straight-up admitted that he didn’t care for her. Of course, ABC fans thought that might make for some awkward family moments. He was 92 years old at the time, but still completely aware of what was going on. But, was he aware that the couple decided on a split three months after their wedding?

Today weatherman Al Roker says he’ll return to the NBC morning show next Tuesday after recuperating from knee replacement surgery.
“I’ve had a number of replacements…this one has been the toughest one yet,” Roker said during a call-in to his Today colleagues yesterday. Absent from the show since May 9, Roker explained that the recent surgery – his second on that knee following a first replacement 23 years ago – was especially difficult because because they had to take out the “old hardware and put new hardware in.”
Roker said he initially felt good enough following the surgery (when nerve-blockers were still in effect) to post an Instagram cooking video. “My doctor saw the Instagram and said, ‘No, we’re not doing that.'”
