LAKE HOUSE, INDIANA: Gerry Turner, 72, currently resides at his lake house in Indiana, while Theresa, 70, continues to live in her hometown of New Jersey.

According to reports, the couple currently has no intentions of altering their living situation. Theresa remains dedicated to her role as a senior compliance officer at a financial advisory firm in New Jersey. Instead, they are navigating a long-distance relationship and making frequent visits to each other.

The news has since gone viral, sparking numerous comments on social media. One user wrote, "This Stuff is for the Camera 📸" while another remarked, "Excuses excuses is all I read. If they hadn't figured out where to move they would both spend time at her house and then both at his house not living separately."

One user wrote,"Once you have settled roots near your children, grandchildren, it is hard to get up and leave. At this age, I see no problem with their continuing this arrangement" while another chimed in saying, "Not surprised!!! lol"

‘Golden Bachelor’ star Gerry Turner was married to his high school sweetheart Toni for 43 years

Although Gerry and Theresa exchanged vows in a ceremony captured by ABC cameras, the star was previously married to his high school sweetheart, Toni, for 43 years.

Reflecting on his journey, Gerry shared that he hadn't initially planned to propose to Theresa on the show, especially after the passing of his high school sweetheart, Toni, in 2017, following 43 years of marriage

"As I was dating [before the show], I was looking for the person that I would spend the rest of my life with regardless of the label. And as I got closer and closer to the process started in the show, I really kind of came to realize that I did indeed want to be married, that I wanted that commitment, that two-way street," Gerry explained to US. "And so as I got into the show, that was my objective."
