Brendan Fraser met his former wife, actress Afton Smith, during a summer barbecue at Winona Ryder's in 1993. The couple eventually shared the screen in the hit comedy feature George of the Jungle before marrying in September 1998. Born on December 3, 1967, in Northport, Long Island, New York, the actress is widely recognized for her memorable roles in Fried Green Tomatoes and Reality Bites. Throughout their decade-long marriage, they welcomed three sons before mutually getting separated in December 2007.
Despite enduring highly complex public disputes regarding financial alimony, the former partners earned widespread praise for remaining entirely active in the daily lives of their children. Following the finalization of his divorce, Fraser has been in a committed relationship with makeup artist Jeanne Moore since September 2022, marking a new chapter in his personal life.
The profound love Fraser possesses for his family is beautifully reflected in his individual relationships with each of his three unique sons.
The three pillars of the Fraser household
Griffin Arthur Fraser: Born on September 17, 2002, Griffin Arthur Fraser is Brenden's firstborn son and was diagnosed on the autism spectrum at a very early age. He is frequently described by his father as an incredibly compassionate individual who requires extra love.
"He needs extra love in the world, and he gets it,” Brenden said in a 2018 GQ interview.
Holden Fletcher Fraser: Welcomed on August 16, 2004, the sharp young film student shares an incredibly tight-knit protective bond with his older brother, Arthur. The proud father famously delighted Holden’s college classmates by attending a special session to discuss the intricate craft of contemporary filmmaking.
"They understand the craft of filmmaking in a way that's so impressive,” Brenden told to Sunday TODAY.
Leland Francis Fraser: Entering the world on May 2, 2006, the youngest sibling, was affectionately described by his father as a resilient and joyful adventurer during his childhood. Alongside his brother Fletcher Fraser, the striking young man has entered the fashion modelling industry after signing a contract with the prestigious Marilyn Agency.
The ultimate devotion of these young men was prominently displayed during a highly anticipated cinematic presentation.
