Over the years, Bachelor Nation has seen its fair share of breakups. For some reason, Tyler Cameron is particularly wound up about the recent Golden Bachelor breakup between Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist. For most of us, the news of their divorce wasn’t life-changing. Tyler, on the other hand, acted like the news shattered his entire worldview.
Tyler opened up about the Golden Bachelor breakup during an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Happy Hour. The hosts asked him for his opinion on the short-lived Golden Bachelor marriage, and Tyler didn’t hold back. He claimed it was a “stain on love.”
The golden divorce
“Three months?! They make all my relationships seem very long. You know what I mean? Like, golly, I’m a dating expert compared to them,” Tyler quipped.
Gerry proposed to Theresa during the Golden Bachelor finale after working his way through 22 contestants. The two tied the knot during a televised wedding ceremony.
Three months later, they announced their divorce, citing numerous “heart-to-heart conversations” that led them to call it quits. When reacting to the news, Tyler wasn’t too impressed with their explanation. As a Bachelorette alum, he expected more.
Tyler explained, “They put a stain on love and Bachelor Nation because it was the most wholesome … Like, it brought so much joy back to The Bachelor of not this like, people wanting to go on just to be influencers, that like brought like joy and true love – that we thought. And then they just pulled the rug right out from under us.”
While Tyler regained his footing from having a rug pulled out from under him, he also devised a theory about why the breakup happened. He blamed it on the distance, and honestly, it’s a valid theory. She’s from New Jersey. He’s from Indiana. You don’t have to be a geography expert to know that’s a barrier to a successful relationship.
“Gerry and Theresa don’t want to change their ways,” Tyler continued. “Like it’s just two stubborn old people, you know? And when you get older you get more stubborn.”
When Gerry and Theresa announced their divorce, they did mention that the distance caused some issues. They looked at homes in both Indiana and New Jersey, but nothing panned out. So, Tyler’s theory might have some truth to it.
Either way, Theresa encouraged viewers not to “give up” after seeing their relationship crumble. Hopefully, Tyler heard that, too.
