In an excerpt obtained by TMZ, Turner admitted that he briefly considered ending his life due to the public backlash surrounding the split, though he ultimately decided against it for the sake of his two daughters.

Just months later, in December 2024, Turner announced he had been diagnosed with an "incurable" and "slow-growing" form of bone cancer.
