He told interviewer Juju Chang: “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 — and we’ve kind of come to the conclusion mutually that it’s probably time for us to — dissolve our marriage.” Good Morning America reported the interview and explanation; CBS News also reported the announcement and rationale.

The couple did not publicly identify a more specific cause in that announcement. Their explanation is the clearest on-record account of the decision; it should not be expanded into claims about private circumstances that they did not state.
Why their living arrangements were part of the conversation
At the time, Turner was living in Indiana and Nist was based in New Jersey, according to The Washington Post. The couple had planned to move in together after marrying. Turner’s reference to their “living situation” made that practical question part of the explanation they gave, but the public statement did not describe a more detailed chain of events or assign blame.
