Christy Turlington Husband: Meet Edward Burns

In 2000, Christy Turlington met actor, director, and writer, Edward Burns at a Hamptons party, and by the end of the year, they were engaged. In 2002 just months after buying a New York property together, they decided to split up. The couple reunited and were married in June 2003.

Despite numerous erroneous media reports, Turlington was not given away by her good friend, Bono. Burns and Turlington have two children, Grace born in 2003, and Finn born in 2006.

Edward Burns got his start in the film industry right after college as a production assistant on the Oliver Stone film, The Doors. While working as a gofer at Entertainment Tonight, he financed, produced, directed, and starred in his spare time, which was largely shot in his hometown of Valley Stream.

Burns is also known for his acting work in movies such as Saving Private Ryan, Life or Something Like It, Confidence, and Looking For Kitting, which Burns wrote, directed, and starred in, was shot with a hand-held $3,000 digital Panasonic AG-DVX100 camera with a Mini35 adapter.
