So, we look at these conversation and we both think it’s best for the happiness of each of us to live apart.”
Gerry started out the announcement by pointing out that he and Theresa had many “heart-to-heart conversations” about their situation.
“Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations, and we’ve looked closely at our situation, our living situation, so forth and we’ve come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to dissolve our marriage,” Gerry said, before Theresa added, “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. We want none of that to change for anybody.”
