Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, who fell in love on the first season of ABC’s reality dating show “The Golden Bachelor,” surprised fans in April when they announced that they were divorcing just three months after marrying in a televised wedding ceremony.
Turner, 73, has now revealed that a diagnosis of Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia—a rare, slow-moving bone marrow cancer—contributed to his decision to separate from Nist, 71.
