She shared that there was more to the split than met the eye
Teresa recently shared that while many felt there was a major issue in her relationship with Gerry, there was much more to their split than Bachelor The nation notices.

Although they were asked about it consistently, they didn’t seem to have any idea until their split. Despite knowing that this was a problem in the relationship, Theresa revealed there were bigger issues at play without specifying them directly.
