A post shared by Matthew Paul Turner (@matthewpaulturner) on Christian author Matthew Paul Turner made a big announcement over the weekend.
He and his wife of nearly 20 years, Jessica, are getting a divorce. Also, he’s gay.“Dear friends, I have difficult news to share,” the 44-year-old wrote on Facebook. “After much thought, prayer, and counseling, Jessica and I have made the decision to end our marriage.”“While we’re best friends and thoroughly love doing life, parenting, and pursuing our dreams together, ending our marriage is necessary because I am gay.”Turner, who supported Elizabeth Warren in the 2020 Democratic primaries and whose children’s books include When God Made You and When God Made Light, went on to explain that he’s long.
