Overview
- Early October 2026 excerpts published by People report that Douglas writes he and Kathleen Turner began a romantic relationship during the 1983–84 Romancing the Stone shoot in Mexico.
- Douglas says the connection grew from strong on-set chemistry and that he secretly entered Turner's hotel room after long days of filming.
- He recounts that the relationship ended when his then-wife Diandra visited the set with their young son Cameron and that he returned to his family to avoid hurting his son.
- Turner responded by downplaying the attention, expressing affection for Douglas and saying she looks forward to reading the book, and outlets report no new legal or professional consequences from the admission.
- The full account appears in One Helluva Ride, due Oct. 6, 2026, and the revelation reframes decades of public denials while recalling the later studio lawsuit over a sequel and the pair’s long professional reconciliation.
