Who is Bruce Boxleitner’s spouse?
Boxleitner has been married three times so far. Previously, he was married to Mellisa Gilbert and Kathryn Holcomb. Verena King-Boxleitner is his current wife.
Kathryn Holcomb is a writer.
Holcomb was Boxleitner’s first wife, according to IMDb. From May 1977 to May 1987, they were married for almost a decade.
Holcomb is also an actress who appeared in How The West Was Won alongside her then-husband. Laura, his on-screen sister, was played by her.
Sam (1980) and Lee (1981) are the couple’s two children (1985). Holcomb married English actor Ian Ogilvy after their divorce in 1987, while Boxleitner married another actress, Gilbert.
Mellisa Gilbert is a model and actress.
Gilbert, Boxleitner’s second wife, was his longest marriage. Little House on the Prairie, Sweet Justice, and Batman: The Animated Series are among the actress’s most well-known roles.
Gilbert, like Holcomb, shared the screen with Boxleitner. She appeared as Anna Sheridan, the actor’s on-screen wife, in Season 3 of Babylon 5, when she was a guest star.
They met through Holcomb and quickly fell in love. However, there was a snag in paradise before the couple married.
Before finally marrying on January 1, 1995, Boxleitner called off their engagement two times. Michael, their son, was born the same year.
Gilbert, on the other hand, almost cheated on her husband, thus married life was not pleasant for them.
In her memoir, Prairie Tale, Gilbert discusses her emotional infidelity.
She stated that she was working on a TV movie called Seduction in a Small Town in 1997. She traveled to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to film the film, where she became acquainted with the lead actor.
It was not a healthy combination for her to have a crush on him while also being intoxicated. As a result, she began an emotional relationship with him.
Boxleitner was dissatisfied with the circumstances, and the two were on the verge of breaking up. But, because to counseling, they were able to stay together for another 14 years.
Gilbert filed for divorce in August 2011, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.
Verena King-Boxleitner is a model and actress.
Boxleitner found him happily ever after in the arms of publicist King-Boxleitner after two marriages. The couple began dating in January 2013 and have been together since then.
They were engaged on December 9, 2015, and married on October 5, 2016, in a private ceremony in Hawaii. They’ve been by one other’s sides through thick and thin.
They’ve been together for eight years but don’t have any children together.
