Internet sends wishes as Jordan Turpin debuts romance with Matt Ryan 6 years after rescue from parents

PERRIS, CALIFORNIA: Jordan Turpin has now found happiness in her personal life as she enters into a relationship years after she escaped from her parents 'House of Horrors.'

Turpin took to social media to debut her romance with her boyfriend Matt Ryan with a selfie posted on their joint Instagram handle on April 14.

Who is Jordan Turpin?

Turpin, 23, gained recognition worldwide after she bravely escaped from her parents' "House of Horrors" in 2018 and alerted police to their abuse which led to authorities investigating her parents' residence.

This move from the then-teenager led to the rescue of her 12 siblings from their abusive parents.

Turpin is currently a social media star who is an aspiring motivational speaker and model.

What happened at the 'House of Horrors'?

On the 2021 ABC special 'Escape from a House of Horror', Turpin and her eldest sister Jennifer Turpin opened up about their horrifying journey.

After Turpin walked outside of her parents David and Louise Turpin's home in Perris, California for the first time in 17 years of her life, she used a cell phone she had taken from the house and dialed 911, leading authorities to find her siblings.

Police found her sisters and brothers in dire conditions in the residence.

The arrests in January 2018 disclosed harrowing details of Turpin and her siblings being subject to horrifying conditions of abuse and neglect.

The children were beaten and starved, denied basic hygiene, shackled to beds, and were only allowed to shower once a year.

Except for meals, the children were confined in their rooms and the number of meals a day had been reduced over time, according to Daily Mail.

Where are Jordan Turpin's parents now?

After David and Louise Turpin were taken into custody, they were charged with 14 counts of child endangerment, torture, dependent adult abuse, and false imprisonment.

In April 2019, they were sentenced to life in prison after they pleaded guilty to the multiple counts charged.

Who is Matt Ryan?

Ryan, 24, is a photographer by profession and has recently entered the public eye after Turpin confirmed her relationship with him.

While he has not publicly commented on Turpin's past, his actions suggest he is understanding of her journey and has been expressing his unwavering support for her.

A few days after she posted a selfie with Ryan, she confirmed their relationship by sharing a makeup tutorial video along with him and wrote, "My bf guessing where my makeup products go on my face. Hope you guys enjoy."

"Thank you all for all the love and support you giving us in the last 24 hours," she wrote on Instagram on April 16.

In the video, Turpin said, "He went with me to get my hair done yesterday and it was just so sweet because he, like, stayed the whole time."

The couple has noted on their Instagram bio that they are focusing on "finding joy in the little things."
