Guy Gansert's ex-wife filed a temporary protection order against him
On the reality show, Guy Gansert talked about his past with his ex-wife. During one of his dates, he told The Golden Bachelorette that he and his ex-wife were together for 30 years before ending their relationship after she felt she could no longer work on it.
According to court records obtained by E! News on October 10, Guy's ex-wife filed for a temporary protection order against him in 2021 but withdrew the application three weeks later.
Guy took to Instagram to address the incident through a post, stating that the "unfortunate situation," concerning a temporary protection order, occurred during a stressful time for him and his ex-wife. He stated that the matter was resolved when she voluntarily dismissed her request for a protective order. Together, they "crafted a resolution that was agreeable to both parties."
The Golden Bachelorette star further wrote:
"My divorce was extremely difficult for me and led me to a very low point in my life and as a result I acted in a way that does not represent who I am. The past few years have caused me to conduct a deep personal evaluation, and I will always continue to work to improve myself."
The Golden Bachelorette airs every Wednesday on ABC.
