Overview
- Douglas disclosed Friday in an excerpt published by People that he and Turner began a romantic relationship while filming Romancing the Stone in Mexico.
- He wrote that he and Turner repeatedly denied the affair for about 40 years and that those lies were told to shield his then‑wife Diandra Luker and their son Cameron.
- Douglas says the relationship ended after Luker visited the Mexico set with their son, after which he briefly returned to Luker before their eventual divorce and his later marriage to Catherine Zeta‑Jones.
- Turner issued a brief response to People that downplayed the reaction, saying she loves Douglas and looks forward to reading the book, and both actors continued to work together on later projects and have remained friendly.
- The full account appears in One Helluva Ride, due October 6, and the excerpt has refocused coverage on how private relationships and public narratives have shaped the actors’ careers with no new contradictory claims reported so far.
