Turner-Jonas not the first celeb couple to elope
Although their wedding has come as a huge surprise to fans, Turner and Jonas are really not the first celebrity couple to have eloped. In the past, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, Rita Hayworth and Dick Haymes, Paul Newman and JoAnn Woodward, and Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow, had all eloped and had low-key ceremonies at the same Vegas venue.
