00:00 We've kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it's probably time for us to dissolve our marriage.
00:08 Beloved Golden Bachelor couple Gary Turner and Teresa Nist are sadly calling it quits.
00:13 Just three months after tying the knot in an ABC special in January,
00:17 the couple whose engagement was revealed in November announced that they're getting a divorce.
00:22 Get a divorce? Yes. Three months after getting married? Yes.
00:28 They sat down with Good Morning America to reveal their decision but offered little to an audience
00:33 that will want to know what happened after witnessing their inspiring later in life love
00:37 story unfold. I think we just feel like it's best for the happiness of each of us to live apart.
00:47 ABC News interviewer Juju Chang's takeaway after the sit down was it's a head scratcher.
00:52 Turner was seen as beloved to the franchise with all of Bachelor Nation hoping for the
00:56 70-year-old widow to have a second chance at love. But just one day before the pre-taped
01:01 and live finale aired on the After the Final Rose special, The Hollywood Reporter published
01:05 a report that raised questions about Turner's past. On the show, Turner said he hadn't dated
01:10 anyone since the death of his first wife. However, Turner's ex-girlfriend came forward
01:15 and said they dated for more than two years. When asked about the story during the post-finale press,
01:20 Turner brushed it off as "not fitting with all of the positive things that are going on in my life
01:24 right now." When speaking Friday on GMA, Nist insisted that did not play a part in their split.
01:30 Gary had already discussed that with me. He had explained it to me before
01:34 the report was ever released. So we were good with that. That didn't play into it.
01:38 The couple, who were all smiles, even ended their interview by saying they still love one another.
01:43 I still love this person. There's no doubt in my mind. I still am in love with her.
01:49 I root for her every day. For more on this story, head to THR.com.
