While most couples from Bachelor Nation don’t go the distance, fans couldn’t help but be a little upset when Golden Bachelor‘s Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist announced their divorce just three months after their live televised wedding.

The news set the rumor mill spinning quicker than whispers in the mansion, igniting chatter about their prenup and Nist’s career influencing their split. Not one to just watch the petals fall, Nist stepped back into the limelight — this time without a rose, but with a heartfelt message to clear the air.
