Turner earned a few "Bachelor" achievements through his tenure. Not only was he the oldest star of the show at 72, he also became the first engaged and married "Golden Bachelor" in the span of a few months.
He dropped to one knee and asked Nist to be his bride in Costa Rica, and the couple married during the "Golden Wedding," another milestone event for the franchise with the first televised live nuptials in a decade.

Their split appeared to be largely due to not being able to settle into a permanent living situation. Nist is based in New Jersey while Turner has called Indiana home.
