Hold onto your seats, because the drama surrounding Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner’s upcoming memoir is about to get juicy—and his ex-wife Theresa Nist might want to brace herself. But here’s where it gets controversial: Turner has openly stated that while he’s not worried about the book’s release, Nist should be. Why? Because his memoir, Golden Years, set to hit shelves in early November, promises to spill the beans on their short-lived marriage—and he’s not holding back. In a candid interview with Us Weekly, Turner revealed he’ll be dissecting his own role in their failed relationship, admitting, ‘I was a bit naive; I was a bad listener.’ And this is the part most people miss: Despite his self-awareness, he insists he wouldn’t change a thing, as the experience led him to his current fiancée, Lana Sutton. But let’s rewind—Turner and Nist’s marriage imploded just three months after their televised wedding in January 2024, with Turner filing for divorce in April, citing ‘irreconcilable differences.’ The split was finalized in June, but the real bombshell dropped later: Turner disclosed he had been diagnosed with bone marrow cancer (Waldenström's macroglobulinemia) in March, a revelation that likely added weight to his decision to end the marriage. Here’s the kicker: Turner admits there’s ‘no cure’ for his condition, which has since fueled his determination to live life to the fullest—a mindset he credits to Sutton, who he describes as his energetic, logical, and fully committed partner. So, is Turner’s memoir a cathartic release or a calculated move? And does Nist have reason to worry, or is this just another chapter in Turner’s unapologetic journey? What do you think? Is Turner’s honesty refreshing, or is he crossing a line by airing their marital laundry in public? Let’s debate in the comments!
