All the People Brendan Fraser Has Dated Over the Years
Brendan Fraser was one of the most popular and sought-out actors of the 1990s and 2000s. The actor started his career in the early 1990s, getting his big break in the comedy “Encino Man,” alongside Sean Astin, and later appeared in popular flicks like “Airheads” and “George of the Jungle.” Fraser is arguably most recognized for playing adventurer Rick O’Connell in the Mummy film franchise and is garnering significant attention for his latest leading role in Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale.”
Though Fraser has had a prolific career in Hollywood, the actor has remained particularly private about his personal life, especially regarding the people he’s been romantically involved with. Fraser was previously married to actor Afton Smith from 1998 to 2007, and following their divorce, he kept his love life under the radar. Most recently, the actor has been linked to makeup artist Jeanne Moore. The two first stirred romance rumors in September 2022 when they were spotted together at several screenings of “The Whale.”

Afton Smith (1993-2007)
Fraser reportedly met Smith at a barbecue hosted by Winona Ryder in 1993, according to the Daily Mail. Smith is also an actor and appeared in a handful of popular films in the 1990s, including “Fried Green Tomatoes” and “Reality Bites.” The two allegedly got together shortly after meeting and dated for the next five years before getting married in 1998.
Four years after their marriage, Fraser and Smith had their first child, Griffin, in 2002. The pair had two more children, Holden and Leland, in 2004 and 2006, respectively. Not long after the birth of their third child, however, the pair decided to split and announced they were divorcing in December 2007. They reached a settlement in February 2009, per The New York Post.
Despite the former couple’s turbulent divorce battle, Fraser revealed in a 2018 interview with GQ that he sees his children frequently, and they often visit him at his Bedford, NY, home. Holden and Leland accompanied Fraser to the NYC premiere of “The Whale” in November 2022.
Jeanne Moore (September 2022-Present)
Following his divorce from Smith, Fraser maintained a low profile and kept his personal life private. From 2007 onward, the actor appeared to be single and on the market. By September 2022, however, Fraser made several red carpet appearances with Moore, an LA-based makeup artist and hairstylist, per Us Weekly. While details of their relationship are few and far between, the couple appear to be happily dating.
