After his divorce, he became supermodel Christy Turlington's first serious boyfriend at age 18. They dated from 1987 to 1993. Turlington told "Cosmopolitan" magazine and Dennis Miller, when he had a brief, late-night talk show, that she and Wilson were married. However, it was a spiritual, and not a legal ceremony. Wilson is the one who introduced Turlington to yoga and she moved to California briefly to live with him. Turlington had his initials and a rose tattooed on her ankle, which she later removed. Turlington and Wilson broke up in 1993 and she began to date actor Christian Slater for a few weeks.
