Jane Fonda Honors Late Ex-Husband Ted Turner in Moving Tribute

Hollywood icon Jane Fonda has shared a moving tribute following the death of her ex-husband, media mogul and CNN founder Ted Turner. The pair were married for a decade, from 1991 to 2001, and remained close in the years following their divorce. Fonda remembered Turner not only for his towering professional legacy but for his vibrant personality, describing him as a "gloriously handsome" and "larger than life" figure who fundamentally changed the landscape of news production.

The relationship between the actress and the billionaire was one of the most high-profile pairings of the 1990s. Beyond the glitz of their public appearances, the couple was known for their shared passion for conservation and philanthropy. In her tribute, Fonda reflected on their time together as a period of significant personal growth and adventure, underscoring that Turner's influence extended far beyond the walls of his global news empire.

Turner, who famously launched the first 24-hour cable news network in 1980, had previously disclosed in 2018 that he was battling Lewy body dementia. His passing marks the end of an era for both the media industry and the environmental causes he championed throughout his life. Fans and industry peers have joined Fonda in celebrating a man who was as well-known for his bold, outspoken nature as he was for his business acumen.

As the public celebrates Turner’s life, observers are looking back at the archived memories of his marriage to Fonda, which many consider a defining chapter for both icons. The outpouring of support highlights the enduring respect between the former spouses, proving that their bond survived long after their legal partnership ended.
