'The Golden Bachelor' divorce:Couple Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist announce split

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

In April, the exes confirmed that deciding where to settle down contributed to their divorce.

"We looked at homes in South Carolina, we considered New Jersey, and we just looked at homes after home, but we never got to the point where we made that decision," Nist told Chang.

The pair, holding hands, told Chang they had not fallen out of love with Turner saying, "I still love this person. There's no doubt in my mind, I still am in love with her. I root for her every day."

"Yeah, I still love him," Nist added.

In a lengthy Instagram post days after their "GMA" revelation, Nist thanked fans and loved ones for their support following the couple’s breakup.

"It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life, something I never expected to happen at this point in my life and I truly thought it was going to last forever," she wrote. "It turns out, even at the age of 70, you don’t know everything.”

She continued: "Sometimes things don’t go the way you planned and that’s okay."
