Gerry Turner Reveals Cancer Diagnosis and Reflects on Divorce

The 'Golden Bachelor' star shares his diagnosis of incurable bone marrow cancer and how it influenced his split from Theresa Nist.

Gerry Turner, 72, disclosed he has Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, a rare and incurable bone marrow cancer, diagnosed earlier this year.
The diagnosis came as Turner and Theresa Nist, whom he married on live TV in January, were navigating their future together.
Turner cited the cancer diagnosis as a major factor in his decision to prioritize time with his family over continuing the marriage.
Nist, 71, acknowledged the diagnosis but stated it was not a factor in her decision to end the relationship, citing distance and other challenges.
Turner expressed a commitment to living fully despite his diagnosis, while both he and Nist wished each other the best moving forward.
