Brendan Fraser is a critically acclaimed actor who has starred in blockbuster films and cult classics alike.<\/p>\n

In the ’90s, he was an up-and-coming heartthrob. He’s now a universally beloved Oscar winner.<\/p>\n

After some major career setbacks<\/a>, he’s reminding everyone of his talent and how lovable he is.<\/p>\n

But what about his love life?<\/p>\n

Brendan Fraser and Afton Smith<\/h2>\n

On July 4, 1993, Brendan Fraser attended a barbecue at Winona Ryder’s house.<\/p>\n

He was a relative newcomer to the entertainment industry, but was fresh off of the commercial success of Encino Man<\/em> — which is now a cult classic.<\/p>\n

There, he met Afton Smith, a fellow actor.<\/p>\n

Smith would go on to appear in George of the Jungle<\/em> (1997), which is one of Fraser’s most beloved roles in part because of his deliberate and unrelenting hotness. <\/p>\n

Her role in the film was a minor one. Her role in his life was not.<\/p>\n

They married and had three sons<\/h2>\n

On September 27, 1998, Fraser and Smith married.<\/p>\n

They went on to welcome three children — all sons — together.<\/p>\n

Griffin Arthur Fraser was born in 2002.<\/p>\n

Holden Fletcher Fraser was born in 2004.<\/p>\n

And, last but not least, Fraser and Smith welcomed Leland Francis Fraser in 2006. Yes, he’s the otherworldly hot one.<\/p>\n

It did not last<\/h2>\n

In April of 2007, Fraser and Smith sold their Beverly Hills home for $3 million.<\/p>\n

It was only later that year that Fraser’s publicist disclosed that the two were divorcing after 10 years of marriage.<\/p>\n

Fraser was ordered to pay Smith $50,000 per month in alimony alongside $25,000 per month in child support. <\/p>\n

In early 2011, Fraser’s career was not doing well. He asked the court to reduce his spousal support payments<\/a>. (He did not <\/em>contest the child support.)<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the court did not side with Fraser or Smith. Overall, they have received public praise for their peaceful co-parenting.<\/p>\n

Brendan Fraser and Jeanne Moore<\/h2>\n

In September of 2022, Fraser entered a relationship with Jeanne Moore, a makeup artist.<\/p>\n

The two have not publicly discussed how they met.<\/p>\n

However, it seems like a safe bet to say that they likely met through the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

Moore has worked with other big name talents.<\/p>\n

Fraser and Moore made their red carpet debut at the 2022 Venice Film Festival.<\/p>\n

Where do things stand today?<\/h2>\n

Moore has been supportive of Fraser in his career.<\/p>\n

He publicly proclaimed his gratitude to her while accepting his Oscar for Best Actor.<\/p>\n

These days, it’s believed that Fraser still resides in Bedford, New York.<\/p>\n

Whether you love him best for The Mummy<\/em> or Doom Patrol<\/em> or George of the Jungle<\/em> or, hell, his small guest spot on Scrubs<\/em>, Fraser is a national treasure. A continental one, even — as he’s Canadian.<\/p>\n

We’re glad to see him finding happiness. And we’ll be keeping an eye on his upcoming projects — including The Mummy 4<\/em>.<\/p>\n
