“Gerry and Theresa don’t want to change their ways,” Cameron said. “Gerry doesn’t want to want to leave Indiana where his family is and she doesn’t want to leave New Jersey. When you get older, you get more stubborn.”
In an interview April 12 on Good Morning America, Turner said, “Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations, and we’ve looked closely at our situation, our living situation, so forth and we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to dissolve our marriage.”

“The thing that strikes me the most in our conversations,” Turner said. “It’s been how dedicated both of us are to our families … So we look at these situations and I think we just feel like it’s best for the happiness of each of us to, to live apart.”
