The Golden Bachelor’s Gerry & Theresa’s Divorce Was A Major Shock
The Couple’s Split Was A Lot For Bachelor Nation
Although the couple seemed like they were set up to be a long-lasting pair, Gerry and Theresa shocked Bachelor Nation when they announced they’d be divorcing. After a lavish live TV wedding, it was shocking to hear that the couple had called it quits so quickly. Gerry and Theresa had spent the lead-up to their wedding working to keep Bachelor Nation involved in their lives, so seeing things splinter so quickly was a surprise.
Gerry Was Keeping A Heartbreaking Secret From Bachelor Nation
He Was Diagnosed With An Incurable Cancer
Although Gerry and Theresa publicly spoke about their split, they were keeping a heartbreaking secret from Bachelor Nation through all of their press. After their wedding, Gerry had been diagnosed with an incurable cancer that he was slowly coming to grips with prior to the couple’s divorce. While Gerry had to open up about the fact that they’d split up, he wasn’t ready to talk about his diagnosis publicly, and Theresa had respected the fact that he didn’t want to say anything. Instead, both moved forward without much public fanfare about their relationship’s end.
She Allowed Him The Time & Space He Needed
Although Gerry and Theresa were coming to a point where they were ready to speak to the press about their split, Gerry didn’t want to reveal his diagnosis. Though Theresa has shared that she was willing to take some time before bombarding Bachelor Nation with the news, Gerry wanted to move ahead with letting the world know about their split. While Theresa could’ve shared his secret or pressured him to reveal his diagnosis, the fact that she kept such a big secret to herself proves that The Golden Bachelor star is truly kind and graceful, allowing Gerry to take control.
