Golden Bachelor Star Turner Discusses Cancer and Divorce

Gerry Turner, star of 'The Golden Bachelor,' has been diagnosed with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, an incurable and rare form of blood cancer, which he revealed in a recent interview with People. The condition has significantly influenced his life decisions, including his split from wife Theresa Nist following their televised wedding. Turner cites his health condition as a major factor in their separation, while Nist states the divorce was due to issues like geographical distance rather than his illness. Despite the challenges, Turner remains optimistic, aiming to enjoy life and prioritize family time. Both Turner and Nist have expressed mutual respect and positive wishes for each other post-separation.
