Outside acting, her life is just as exciting. She once took up archery, getting so good that she also qualified for the year 2000 Olympics team for the sport.
Netizens have developed an interest in Davis’ love life recently because it appears she has given up on the concept of getting hitched. Naturally, this makes one wonder what she could have faced to make such a decision.
Keep reading to find out if Geena Davis is married or plans to remain single for the rest of her life.
Is Geena Davis Married?
No, Geena Davis is not currently married, and the term “Geena Davis’ husband” may never be linked to a man again if the actress has her way. She has given marriage a try four different times and has failed those four times. In 2022, an interviewer asked Davis if she would get married again after her fourth failure.
Her reply was pleasant, but it sounded like she had decided not to. Davis said: “I’m definitely not interested in ever getting married. I mean, it would just be ridiculous. Or maybe I should really go for it, go for like eight marriages.”
Who Was Geena Davis Married To?
Geena Davis may have grown tired of the concept of marriage. This begs the question, who was Geena Davis married that made her decide getting married again “would just be ridiculous.”
Four men once called themselves Geena Davis’ husband.
Richard Emmolo
The first man Geena Davis ever married was a restaurateur with whom she had a whirlwind romance. His name was Richard Emmolo, and their affair started in December 1977. It was going so well that Davis decided to also move in with him in early 1978. Their bond grew over time, and they married on March 25, 1981.
However, the union was not to be permanent, and in February 1983, they parted ways. An official divorce followed on June 27, 1984. After the split, Davis started dating her “Thelma and Louise” co-star Christopher McDonald.
Jeff Goldblum
The second man Davis married was actor Jeff Goldblum. She and the “Jurassic Park” star initially crossed paths on the set of “Transylvania 6-5000” (1985).
Their relationship started shortly after Goldblum’s split from his wife, Patricia Gaul. They married on November 1, 1987. Afterward, Goldbaum and Davis featured in two other movies, “The Fly” and “Earth Girls Are Easy.”
Davis filed for divorce in October 1990, which became official in 1991. The actress spoke about the split in an interview from 1991. She said: “I’m sure we’re both pretty sad. We certainly had high hopes, every good intention. It’s upsetting.”
She added: “Other people’s perceptions are that it’s just perfect; he’s the funniest guy. This is not a reflection on Jeff. I mean, it can apply equally to me. We were a normal couple and had all kinds of experiences. We weren’t sitting around laughing all day, putting on shows for each other.”
Renny Harlin
Geena Davis’ third husband is Finnish filmmaker Renny Harlin. The former couple dated for five years and married on September 18, 1993.
Harlin and Davis also got to work together. He directed her in two movies, “Cutthroat Island” and “The Long Kiss Goodnight.”
They had good synergy, but Harlin was unfaithful. She filed for divorce on August 26, 1997, one day after discovering that her assistant gave birth to her husband’s child. They concluded the divorce in June 1998 and have barely spoken about it publicly since then.
Reza Jarrahy
Jarrahy is the latest man to call himself Geena Davis’ husband, and their marriage lasted the longest.
The pair, who had a 20-year relationship, started dating in 1998. According to reports, they tied the knot on September 1, 2001. Their marriage was blessed with three children, daughter Alizeh and fraternal twin sons Kaiis and Kian. However, even that was not enough to prevent a split.
Their marriage ended when Jarrahy legally filed for divorce in May 2018. They settled their divorce in October 2021 after an acrimonious custody battle.
Other stars like Davis, who had messy and lengthy custody battles after marriage, include Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry, Brittney Spears and Kevin Federline, and Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger.
