The Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner and his new wife Theresa Nist are still living in separate homes despite tying the knot three months ago.
The Indiana native, 72, married the New Jersey resident, 70, in a televised ceremony in January after finding love on the newest iteration of ABC’s long-running reality TV dating franchise.
TMZ is reporting that the spouses aren’t living together and they aren’t even in the same city or state.
Gerry is living at his lake house in Northern Indiana while Theresa is home in New Jersey with her family.
But there’s no trouble in paradise just yet, the couple are just trying out a long-distance relationship for now as they have roots and families – and in Theresa’s case, a career – in their respective cities.

Gerry and Theresa haven’t nailed down their new hometown yet, but they are eyeing Charleston, South Carolina.
Theresa’s son and grandchildren live near there.
Last month, ABC announced The Golden Bachelorette. One of the ladies from Gerry’s season will be chosen as the first Golden Bachelorette.
Joan Vassos, 61, Leslie Fhima, 65, and Faith Martin, 61 are said to be the main contenders per USA Today.
Leslie was the runner up on Gerry’s season and Faith was the third-place finisher. Joan left the series early when her daughter had medical complications after giving birth.
Because Joan left in the third episode of the season, she is a great candidate as viewers don’t know her that well.
Due to the age of the Golden Bachelorette candidates, some of the suitors will be younger than the age 60 minimum that was set for Gerry’s inaugural season.
