Gerry Turner and your wife Teresa Nist they currently reside in separate states – but despite the gap, the sun isn’t setting on their relationship… in fact, it’s quite the opposite.
Sources close to the ‘Golden Bachelor’ stars tell TMZ the couple – who married in a ‘Golden Wedding’ special on Jan. 4 — are doing the long-distance thing, with Gerry relaxing at their northern Indiana lake house while Theresa is in New Jersey.
We’re told there are a few reasons why they haven’t made the leap to living together yet… and a lot of them have to do with the fact that moving is a complete no-no.
For starters… we are told that everyone has their own properties established in their respective states, and transferring everything in one block can be time-consuming.
Not only that… but Theresa is still working in NJ and has not yet decided what she will do regarding her job as a compliance officer. Plus, Gerry and Theresa are super close to their own families, and our sources say moving away from both of them will be difficult for them.
Another important issue…they’re still thinking about where to plant their love nest, but we’re told they have their eye on Charleston, SC as a hub, especially with Theresa’s son and grandchildren in that area. That said, they are still undecided.
While it may seem like they’re not on the same page here, our sources insist they’re still madly in love and want to make their marriage work.
The truth is, we have been told that this current long distance network works for them. They’ve seen each other several times… and usually have priority when visiting. He’s been to Jersey a few times and Theresa plans to visit Indiana next month.
Sooner or later, we are warned, they will figure it out.
Gerry popped the question to Theresa during the finale of “The Golden Bachelor” last year. It’s been a while since this happened, though… and even now, they’re technically sidelined.
