The women were all smiles in the video and are clearly putting up a united front as Gerry's memoir continues to shock fans and make headlines.
Gerry recently told Us Weekly that he's "happy" to see Leslie and Theresa have become such good friends, but maybe he'll feel differently after seeing their TikTok post.
Theresa and Leslie finished Gerry's The Golden Bachelor season in first and second place, respectively, in 2023.
On The Golden Bachelor's Season 1 finale that aired in November 2023 on ABC, Leslie claimed Gerry had totally convinced her in their Fantasy Suite that she was The One and they were going to spend the rest of their lives together.
And so when Gerry eliminated Leslie in second place, she sobbed with a broken heart and lashed out at Gerry for having misled and lied to her.
Leslie admitted on "The Ben & Ashley I: Almost Famous Podcast" in August that she went through some "dark days" after filming the show.
Theresa, however, won Gerry's heart and the pair got engaged on the season finale.
Gerry and Theresa essentially ran to the altar and tied the knot in a live televised wedding ceremony on January 4, 2024 on ABC.
However, Gerry announced the couple's decision to split on Good Morning America in April 2024, and he filed for divorce from Theresa that same month.
Gerry and Theresa finalized their divorce in June 2024 and appeared to move on amicably, but Gerry's new book Golden Years: What I've Learned from Love, Loss, and Reality TV -- which hits shelves on November 4 -- has hurt and disappointed Theresa.

While Gerry admitted in his memoir that he "mishandled" his breakup with Leslie and "cared for her very much," he took multiple shots at Theresa.
Gerry admitted that he felt "trapped" with Theresa and was concerned marrying her was "the wrong thing to do" the night before his wedding ceremony, according to USA Today, who had obtained an advance copy of Gerry's book.
Gerry also alleged Theresa had joined his The Golden Bachelor cast for the wrong reasons and that he's not the only one to blame for their breakup.
"Out of respect for his family, I had decided a long time ago to not say anything, to take the high road and to keep what happened between us, between us," Theresa told the "She's All Bach" podcast in a statement after excerpts from Gerry's book drew a lot of attention.
"So I can't tell you how disappointed I am that Gerry has decided to talk about me in such a disparaging way. Nothing he has said about me or how our conversations went is accurate or happened in the way he is describing it."
Theresa questioned if Gerry "has a bad memory" or just thought the situation "would sound more dramatic with how he revised it."
Theresa added, "It makes me really sad to know how empty and trapped he felt prior to our wedding. I wish he had just been honest with me. I really believed he loved me but clearly he had me fooled."

"His behavior behind closed doors makes a lot more sense now," she concluded.

Theresa chose not to reveal specifics about how Gerry had allegedly wronged or mistreated her during their short-lived relationship, but she is expected to make an appearance on the "She's All Bach" podcast soon.
Gerry -- who is now engaged to retired Indiana teacher, Lana Sutton -- said the real reasons for his divorce from Theresa will be revealed in his memoir, and fans are still waiting to hear Theresa's side of the story as well.
