So, are 'Golden Bachelor' stars Gerry and Theresa still together?
While most Bachelor couples call it quits before the grand finale airs, Gerry and Theresa are rewriting the script. The happy couple is still going strong, and the only thing missing is a breakup scene — because it's nowhere in sight!
During the live finale, host Jesse Palmer surprises the pair with a trip to Italy. Gerry cheekily suggests using the trip as a honeymoon after he and Theresa get married, which they want to do ASAP.
"We're going to do it as quickly as we can because, at our age, we don't have a lot of time to waste," Gerry explains to the audience. "So yeah, as quickly as we can put together a wedding plan, we're getting married."
Now, hold the confetti because Jesse isn't done yet. He drops the ultimate bombshell — our Golden Bachelor duo isn't just dreaming about wedding bells; they've set a date, and fans are invited to the bash of the century!
Mark your calendars for Thursday, Jan. 4, 2024, as Gerry and Theresa exchange "I dos" during The Golden Wedding, a live special on ABC that's bound to be more emotional than your favorite rom-com!
"After lifetimes of love and loss and a whirlwind journey on The Golden Bachelor, Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist will walk down the aisle to begin their next chapter; happily ever after," the sweet wedding invitation reads.
Gerry and Theresa plan on moving to South Carolina.
After getting engaged during the Golden Bachelor finale, Gerry and Theresa spoke with People and shared quite an unexpected twist — they're ditching their hometowns and starting their life together in Charleston, S.C.
"One of the things that I think fate played a hand in is the possibility of where we might wind up living," Gerry told the outlet. "For the last couple of years, when my family gets together, I've talked about moving to South Carolina, and it's an idea I've toyed with. And then, in conversation with Theresa, a private moment, she's saying, 'Well, yeah, my son lives near Charleston in South Carolina.'"
"And all of a sudden it's like, there's a big problem that is gone," Gerry added. "The issue of compromising on where to live and how to reconcile families and all of that is, it's no longer an issue."
