Has Brendan Fraser moved on and found new love? Is he dating anyone officially? Or has Fraser married again, let's find out.
Who Is Brendan Fraser Dating Currently?
Brendan Fraser who was previously married to actress Afton Smith hasn't revealed anything about his love life after his divorce from Smith. Fraser is possibly single.
Or, Fraser is keeping his love life away from the media on purpose because he doesn't want a public blowup as with his first marriage.
Tied the knot on September 27
Fraser and Smith had their first encounter at a barbecue in Winona Ryder's house on July 4, 1993. Fraser and Smith hit it right off and started dating.
After dating for almost 4 years, the couple got engaged in October 1997 and they finally tied the knot on September 27, 1998. Fraser and Smith exchanged their vows in a wedding ceremony held at the garden of Bel Air Hotel in Los Angeles.
Welcomed their first child together
After about four years of marriage, the couple welcomed their first child together, Griffin Arthur Fraser in 2002. Smith gave birth to their second child, Holden Fletcher Fraser in 2004, and their third child, Leland Francis Fraser in 2006.
Fans assumed their marriage was going great until the couple officially announced their separation in 2007. Before announcing their separation the couple sold their house in Beverly Hills, California in April 2007 for $3 million. Their divorce was finalized in 2009.
Brendan Fraser and Afton Smith's Nasty Divorce
After about two years of separation, Fraser and Smith's divorce was finalized in 2009. Smith demanded $900,000 per year, however, the divorce was settled after the actor agreed to pay $300,000 per year for child support. The alimony was huge for the actor since his estimated net worth at the time was around $45 million.
Fraser later claimed to decrease the $50,000 monthly alimony he was obliged to pay in February of 2013 explaining he wasn't getting enough offers to afford spousal support fees.
Earning Details
Smith, however, filed back and claimed that The Mummy star is earning enough for alimony payments and hiding his money. The actress further stated the alimony will decrease only if Brendan earned less than $20 million per year.
The actor denied hiding money. He explained he lost his money on 'medical issues' as he suffered from a 'debilitating' back injury during the devastating Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
It does take a lot of time to get over such a nasty divorce, guess Brendan is just doing that.
