Following a 10-year marriage, Ted Turner and Jane Fonda finalized their divorce in May 2001. According to E! News, Fonda claimed their marriage was “irretrievably broken.” However, in separate statements, they both wished each other well. Turner and Fonda had their own reasons for calling it quits. In an interview with The New Yorker (via E! News), Turner declared that his marriage deteriorated when Fonda became a Christian. On the other hand, Turner’s need for attention caused some problems for Fonda. She told the magazine, “He needs someone to be there 100 percent of the time. He thinks that’s love. It is not love. It’s babysitting.”
While Turner did admit that Fonda’s conversion to Christianity was a surprise, his memoir “Call Me Ted” told another side of his story. “It wasn’t because she had become Christian,” he wrote. It was because she didn’t speak to him about it (via Today). According to the outlet, lack of communication was a pattern in their marriage and was complicated by their time apart. On top of that, Turner’s reported infidelity was a major problem for Fonda. In her memoir “My Life So Far” (via Fox News), Fonda was aggravated when she discovered he had a “nooner” with a woman a month into their marriage.
