Theresa Nist Seemed to Shade Ex-Husband Gerry Turner

The July 16 episode of “Family Feud” featured Bachelor Nation couples, and a lot of viewers were excited to check it out. Some fans may have been surprised to see “The Golden Bachelor” stars Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist appear on the episode, though. The couple wed in January and announced their divorce in April.

This “Family Feud” episode featuring franchise alums was filmed just before “The Golden Bachelor” stars’ divorce announcement. Nist and Turner jointly announced their decision to split during the April 12 episode of “Good Morning America.”

In anticipation of the episode airing, a post of Nist’s on social media seemed to shade her ex-husband.

The “Family Feud” episode was taped on April 7, according to Life & Style on July 12. The two teams facing off in the episode were stars from “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” against “The Golden Bachelor” crew.

Life & Style noted that on July 12, Nist took to her Instagram stories to hype the episode. She shared a promotional photo highlighting the Bachelor Nation stars who participated on both sides.

“The Bachelor” side included Zach Shallcross, Kaity Biggar, Charity Lawson, Dotun Olubeko, Joey Graziadei, and Kelsey Anderson.

The trio of couples on “The Bachelor” side represent the last two “Bachelor” leads and last year’s “Bachelorette” lead. All three couples got engaged during their seasons and are still together.

Nist wrote in her Instagram story featuring the episode photo, “Wait until you see how cute Joey & Kelsey, Charity & Dotun, and [Kaity] & Zach look this Tuesday, July 16th.”

She did not include a caption for “The Golden Bachelor” side.
