Turco and her now-former husband
Jason O'Mara had similar career reversals in their early life. She trained to be a classical ballerina, then broke her foot at age 14 during a rehearsal, and her hopes of a dancing career ended. O'Mara was an avid rugby player, also sidelined by injury. While recuperating, he tried out for a school play and got hooked.
The couple met while they were starring in
The Agency (2001). They married in 2003 and have a son, David O'Mara (born 2004). In 2017, Turco and O'Mara filed for divorce.
