Turner, 72, and Nist, 70, previously appeared on the\u00a0Bachelor Happy Hour<\/em>\u00a0podcast that\u00a0Joe Amabile\u00a0and his wife\u00a0Serena Pitt\u00a0host, and Amabile, 38, now tells PEOPLE he and Pitt, 26, \u201cwere shocked\u201d by the divorce news.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe interviewed them a few times,\u201d says Amabile, who will compete on the inaugural season of Amazon Freevee\u2019s\u00a0The GOAT<\/em>. \u201cI thought they were both lovely people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Serena<\/p>\n

Nist and Turner announced on\u00a0Good Morning America\u00a0<\/em>Friday, April 12 that they\u2019d be ending their marriage after\u00a0saying \u201cI do\u201d in January\u00a0due to disagreements over where they would live. (Nist hails from New Jersey, while Turner resides in Indiana.)<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it’s tricky,\u201d Amabile says. \u201cEspecially in your later years in life, you’re pretty settled in whatever city you live in, so I do think it’s hard to pick up and move your entire life when your family lives wherever. So, I could see where that was an issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Serena<\/figure>\n

Amabile adds that he still finds\u00a0The Golden Bachelor<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0to be \u201can entertaining show\u201d and hopes Nist and Turner\u2019s divorce won\u2019t damper the excitement for the upcoming season of\u00a0The Golden Bachelorette<\/em>.<\/p>\n

After being eliminated on the first night of\u00a0Becca Kufrin’s\u00a0Bachelorette<\/em>\u00a0season, Amabile met his wife on season 7 of\u00a0Bachelor in Paradise\u00a0<\/em>and they\u00a0tied the knot in October 2022\u00a0with an intimate ceremony at a New York City\u2019s City Hall. The reality stars followed up with a big celebration in Charleston, S.C. in September of the following year.<\/p>\n

During a\u00a0December episode of\u00a0Bachelor Happy Hour<\/em>, Amabile and Pitt bonded with Nist and Turner over Charleston, S.C., because the retired restaurateur and the financial services professional had been\u00a0thinking about moving there\u00a0together after they got married.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love Charleston!\u201d Pitt gushed.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Nist explained that her son lives less than two hours outside of Charleston, S.C., and that Turner had been toying with a move to South Carolina even before filming began. \u201cI\u2019m not moving to Indiana,\u201d Nist added.<\/p>\n

Turner revealed that he received a cold call right after shooting wrapped from a realtor in South Carolina. \u201cShe\u2019s been sending listings several times a week ever since,\u201d he told Amabile and Pitt.<\/p>\n

Pitt, who first appeared on\u00a0Matt James\u2019s season of\u00a0The Bachelor,<\/em>\u00a0thought \u201cthat has to be a sign\u201d for Turner and Nist.<\/p>\n

But by the time Turner and Nist\u2019s wedding rolled around, the conversation pivoted to the father of two moving to New Jersey.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like that area, and Theresa’s home is 15 minutes from the ocean, and that is so attractive to me,\u201d Turner told PEOPLE. \u201cSo we have more than one option to explore. We’ll find the spot that we’re both happy with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nist said\u00a0Good Morning America<\/em>\u00a0that she and Turner looked for homes together \u201cbut we never got to the point where we made that decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a result, Turner said, “We feel like it’s best for the happiness of both of us to live apart.”<\/p>\n

The Golden Bachelor<\/em>\u00a0is streaming now on Hulu. The first three episodes of\u00a0The GOAT<\/em>\u00a0will premiere May 9 on Prime Video and Amazon Freevee. New episodes will follow each Thursday until the June 27 finale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
