”to turn out” - in this context, it’s about discovery of a fact / facts of some sort after a process of communication during which information is compared.

”to turn out” is usually used informally. So, you need something that is also informal to properly rephrase the capitalised words of this phrasal verb.

There are quite a lot of ways to do it, e.g.

”It so happened that she had known him when they were children”.

or

”After speaking with him, she found out that she had known him when they were children”. - you also need a phrase like ”after speaking with him” to show the communication factor.

It became clear.
It transpired.

    ”it transpired” would be very formal language and perhaps too formal here.

    ”it became clear” would be wrong... there would have been evidence of that fact being partially known or suspected before - ”it became clear” makes it 100%.
