The Golden Bachelor started with high hopes starring 72-year-old retired restaurateur and widower Gerry Turner. After going through multiple women, his heat finally set on 70-year-old Theresa Nist, proposing to her by the end of the season. They soon got married in a lavish Golden wedding, as fans from around the world watched it live.
However, as fate would have it, their short romance ended before it could bloom, leading them to divorce just three months after their nuptials. While the internet has long been blaming Turner as the villain, Nist’s latest update proves she has no care in the world for her broken marriage and is flourishing in her life.

While Turner has since moved on and seems to be enjoying his life despite being branded as the villain, Nist, too, is happy and well. The financial services professional from New Jersey recently shared an update on her Instagram account, revealing she is one of the speakers at Women & Wealth: A CNBC Your Money Event.
An online event with several other speakers, it is an event dedicated to helping women manage their finances better and invest smartly.
