INSIDE THEIR SHOCKING SPLIT

The news came as a surprise. On April 12, three months after tying the knot in a live TV wedding watched by 5.2 million viewers, Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist announced they were parting ways. “[We] had a number of heart-to-heart conversations,” Turner shared on GMA, “and we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to dissolve our marriage.”

Within hours of the appearance, Us broke the news that Turner, 72, had officially filed for divorce from Nist, 70, in his hometown of Petersburg, Ind., citing an “irretrievable breakdown” of the marriage. While some fans quickly questioned the validity of their short-lived romance, former constant Susan Noles, who officiated Turner and Nist’s Jan. 4 ceremony, insisted what they had was real. “I truly believe those two fell in love,” said Noles, blaming distance for their split. (Nist resides in Shrewsbury, N.J.) “Neither one can leave their families.”

How Therapy Saved His Life

After the MLB suspended Alex Rodriguez in 2013 for using performance-enhancing drugs, he decided to give therapy a try. “Twenty-five years ago, when I first started my career, it was a big no-no in the locker room, but I think today... it’s actually celebrated,” the former New York Yankees shortstop and third baseman, 50, told Us at the Nov. 3 premiere of his HBO docu-series, Alex vs ARod. Looking back, Rodriguez believes therapy made him not only a better baseball player but also a better father and friend. Rodriguez’s involvement in the league’s infamous Biogenesis scandal kept him off the field for the entire 2014 season. He went on to play two more years with the Yankees before retiring and going into sports broadcasting, but that's not to say he’s stopped keeping up with his old team. Rodriguez tells Us he believes the Bronx Bombers still have “potential” despite not having won a World Series since 2009.
