Jane Fonda is reacting publicly to the death of her ex-husband, media executive Ted Turner, who dies at age 87. Across multiple outlets, reports say Fonda shared an extended Instagram remembrance offering “immediate thoughts about Ted.” In the post, she writes that she “loved [Ted] with all [her] heart,” describing him as a “gloriously handsome,” deeply romantic and “swashbuckling” figure who “swept into” her life and left her “never… the same.” Sources also describe her characterizing the marriage as “complicated” and “challenging,” while saying those challenges were often “worth it.” Fonda credits Turner with making her feel needed and cared for—something she calls “transformative”—and says his confidence and belief in her helped her. Several reports note she discusses Turner’s varied interests, accomplishments, and competitive nature, and also references his conservation efforts. She ends by telling Turner he is loved and remembered, while reaffirming her continued care for his family and the couple’s relationship after their divorce in 2001.
