In a joint appearance on Good Morning America on April 12, Turner said, "Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations, and we've looked closely at our situation, our living situation and so forth, and we've kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it's probably time for us to dissolve our marriage."

"We have received so much love and support from so many people who watch the Golden Bachelor and I don't think we can tell you how many people told us it gave them so much hope," Nist added. "We want none of that to change for anybody."

When pressed on what caused the rift in their relationship, the couple cited geographical distance: Nist resided in New Jersey, while Turner favored his lake house in Indiana. However, Viall remains skeptical that their living situation alone tells the full story.
