The couple's photo at the location had been leaked online. In the photo, Gerry and Theresa appeared to touring the facility, which is 25 miles from Palm Springs.

Gerry and Theresa connected over their personal loss and felt an instant spark on their very first one-on-one date in the show. The ABC show couple had both lost their spouses after long and happy marriages.

Gerry had been with his wife Toni Turner for 43 years before she died of a bacterial infection. Meanwhile, Theresa was married for 42 years to Billy, who passed away from kidney failure.

During the ABC show finale, Gerry went to one knee and popped the question to the woman "he couldn’t live without." Considering their age, Gerry, 72, and Theresa, 70, don't want to waste their "precious moments."
