The Golden Bachelor taken The Baccalaureate formed and applied to people in their “golden years,” which begin at age 65 and last for the rest of a person's life. The first Golden Bachelor is Gerry Turner, a 72-year-old man looking for a new girlfriend to spend these golden years with. Gerry's search for love led him into the arms of the woman of his choice, Theresa Nist, who beat out 21 other women for his affection. Things took a turn, however, when The Hollywood Reporter published a piece saying that Gerry was not who he represented himself to be. Not letting the report get in the way, the first Golden Bachelor wedding special went ahead as planned. Unfortunately for the reality couple, their marriage was not to be, and three months after walking down the aisle, they announced they were divorcing.

In the midst of Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist's split, April Kirkwood says she informed Nist of what might be coming. as they both wanted to live close to their families. They also made sure to reiterate that they still loved each other, but simply chose to live in separate places. However, he highlighted a comment under a post Theresa made about the split. It was from fellow Golden Bachelor contestant April Kirkwood, and what she said in the post has raised a lot of eyebrows.

April Kirkwood tried to warn Theresa Nist about marrying Gerry Turner

Theresa posted a tender message on her Instagram about the split, and while most of the comments showed nothing but love and support, April Kirkwood's comment stood out. It read: “I wish you the best. I really tried to tell you, but this was your lesson to experience. Much love!” While the comment is a bit dark, it also brings to mind the Hollywood Reporter piece about Gerry's past.

The piece said a woman who dated Gerry after his wife died knew he was lying on the show. He claimed not to have met or dated anyone after his wife's death, which the source said was a lie. The source said he had in fact had multiple relationships with women, some of which were still going months before filming. The report also claimed that Gerry embellished facts about his career as a restaurateur. Gerry declined comment, but given April's Instagram comment, maybe she picked something up while hanging out with him on the show? While no one can be sure what he knew or the exact warning he gave to Theresa, what is known is that Gerry and Theresa's marriage is over, and as much as they claim they still love each other and that his past has nothing to do with it. with their marriage ending, it's hard to ignore the fact that they chose to divorce in order to find a middle ground to call home.

As for April, since posting the comment she has received a lot of attention from other social media users, who accused her of not supporting other women. She responded to one user saying: “I care about all the women in the world. I want us all to learn from each other and be smart and empowered. Lessons give us the opportunity. We've all had our hearts broken. ..what we make of it is totally up to us! Ladies, let's rock this world. Theresa can lead the way!” Unfortunately, the empowering message he followed up with didn't help his case. After these responses, April posted another comment apologizingsaying, “I would like to publicly apologize for my lapse in judgment. I honestly meant no ill will. I wish all women only peace and power to be the best of them. This was not one for me. Much love and gratitude for understanding Always, April.”
