Jane Fonda files for divorce

Atlanta - Jane Fonda has filed for divorce from CNN founder Ted Turner, who said recently that their marriage broke up because of her decision to become a practising Christian. Fonda's divorce petition was filed in Fulton County Superior Court, in Atlanta, Georgia. It says the marriage is "irretrievably broken" and there is "no hope of reconciliation".

The divorce petition indicates Fonda (63), and her billionaire husband (62), have reached an agreement on the division of assets. Fonda's lawyer Mr John Mayoue declined to comment yesterday. "This is a private matter between Mr Turner and Jane Fonda and any terms between them are confidential," he said. The couple announced in January that they were separating after more than eight years. It was the third marriage for both.
