Gerry Turner’s Memoir Reveals Suicidal Thoughts After Theresa Nist Divorce, Alleges Broken Pact

The former Golden Bachelor uses Golden Years to assert his own account of a brief, highly scrutinized marriage.

Overview

  • Media outlets published excerpts on Nov. 3–4 from Golden Years ahead of its Nov. 4 release by Grand Central Publishing.
  • In one passage, he writes that the backlash after the April 2024 split left him briefly thinking of “putting a gun to my head,” a thought he says vanished when he pictured daughters Jenny and Angie.
  • Turner recounts a pact with Nist to limit public statements and alleges she broke it by issuing her own remarks days later.
  • An Entertainment Weekly excerpt describes him sleeping on Nist’s sofa during his first visit to her home after the wedding, which he says reflected fading intimacy.
  • Since the divorce, he has announced an engagement to Lana Sutton and previously disclosed a diagnosis of Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia.
