Aidan Turner splits from girlfriend

Confirming the split, Turner refused to go into detail and said, “I like to keep my private life private for my own head. It’s important to me that people don’t know too much about me because I’m trying to play characters.

“Sometimes you see actors who are really good, but you have trouble separating that actor from the celebrity profile. I don’t want to be one of those guys. It helps that people don’t know a lot about me, I guess.”

The former couple had been dating for five years and Turner previously revealed he was considering moving to New York to be closer to Sarah.
