I COULD NOT MAKE IT WORK
Gerry and Theresa announced that they had split during an appearance on Good Morning America on April 12.
The reality TV stars revealed they couldn’t agree on their living situation, with Gerry living in Indiana and Theresa in New Jersey.
Due to this, they finally decided to end their marriage.
Fans were shocked by the news after watching the wedding on television earlier this year.
Many called for the couple to broadcast their divorce on television and mocked them for believing the relationship would work.
“Will the divorce proceedings also be televised?” one fan wrote in an online thread.
“What a shocking and unexpected turn of events,” commented another.
“Oh no, who could have predicted that?” a third added sarcastically.
I ask everyone to remember that behind every story there are real people with real feelings.

Gerry’s father Everett, 92, also revealed he had reservations about the wedding.
“I couldn’t say why [but] Right off the bat, Theresa pissed me off,” Everett exclusively told The US Sun after the split.

Although Gerry and Theresa’s marriage has fallen apart, their feelings for each other remain.
