They were an unlikely pair who shocked the public, shared a headline-making wedding and later an enduring friendship that surprised everyone. Read on to discover the full story!

How it started

Fonda and Turner began seeing each other after Turner famously phoned to ask her out in 1990, not long after her split from Tom Hayden. Their personalities seemed at odds—Turner the brash media titan, Fonda the outspoken Hollywood activist—but they quickly found chemistry and laughter.

Wedding and blended family

The couple married in 1991 at Turner’s Avalon plantation in Capps, Florida, and celebrated with their combined brood: Fonda brought three children from prior marriages and Turner had five. Their union was very public and often highlighted their differences as much as their connections.
