The show airs on Oprah’s OWN where he plays the character Originally cast for the part in 2014, he was no newbie to on-screen roles. In fact you may recognize Aiden from his eight year stint starring on soap opera All My Children, alongside Susan Lucci and even earning an Emmy nomination in 2003. In 2009, Turner left the show to pursue other options. Aside from his current gig, Turner was on Dancing with The Stars in 2010, and has guest-starred in Single Ladies, NCIS Los Angeles, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  Acting is just one part of this Hertfordshire-born stud, however, whe has dabbled in modeling (you may recognize his face from a COVERGIRL campaign with Molly Sims,). He has also studied culinary arts and done some work as a DJ. But when this multi-faceted guy is not spending time with his stunning fiance Jessica and their son Tristan or auditioning for his next role, he is busy focusing on his tech company called TY (a lost prevention device). But making time to enjoy Atlanta is important to him. Check out where this heartthrob actor/techie dines, shops and relaxes in his Atlanta Haute Secrets.
