Gary Oldman has been married five times. The
Actor made his film debut in 1982, starring as Daniel in Remembrance. Over the past four decades, Oldman has received various accolades. He won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in 2018's The Darkest Hour and also has three BAFTA's and a Golden Globe Award to his name. Oldman has gone on to appear in some of the world's most successful franchises, including Harry Potter and The Dark Knight Trilogy. But while Oldman is regarded as one of the most successful
British actors, it's taken him a fair few goes to perfect his love life. To celebrate Oldman's 66th birthday, Daily Star has looked into his five marriages. In 1987, Oldman was an up-and-coming actor in the world of Hollywood. He was on the verge of becoming a household name and at this point, he married
Actress Lesley Manville. Lesley was also on the rise, with a distinctive career in theatre and having appeared in for 80 episodes until 1976. It seemed like everything was going for the young couple when they welcomed their first son Alfie in 1988, but they split just three months later. It was believed Oldman ditched his wife to be with
Hollywood actress Uma Thurman. Despite their breakup, Manville congratulated her ex when he won an Oscar in 2018. The Secrets & Lies star was nominated for an Academy Award the same year, but was beaten by Allison Janney. Despite the loss, Manville admitted she was happy for her former partner. She told
BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Of course, everyone wants the story that I'm sour-faced about it. But I'm not remotely sour-faced. Listen, we have a child together, we're a very successful family who have ... he's got a new wife, and we all get on. Everyone gets on. The 68-year-old continued: "So it's all fine. So we've had a delightful night. His sons from his other partner and my son are all very close, so it's a family evening. And that's what it's felt like. It's felt like a family evening. And Gary and I are
Friends, so it's been very good and been very nice for our son, I think." The whirlwind romance between Oldman and Uma Thurman began in the late 80s, when he was 30 and she was 18. The couple were living together by early 1990 and tied the knot in the October. Less than two years after their wedding, Thurman and Oldman went their separate ways. It appeared to be the best thing as both actors later agreed that their union was a mistake. The Pulp Fiction star spoke to Vanity Fair about their marriage in 1996, branding it a "crazy love affair" that "needed to end". The 53-year-old said: “We met when I was 18. He was 12 years older. It was a crazy love affair that ended, as it needed to. He was my first love. I had no prior experience." Meanwhile Oldman joked to
Playboy that one of his marriages was "for 10 minutes", likely alluding to his marriage with Thurman. He also admitted: "I don’t think it meant very much to either of us." From 1994 to 1996, Oldman was engaged to Italian actress and model Isabella Rosselini, but the couple never made it down the aisle. The same year his romance with Rosselini ended, Oldman met Donya Fiorentino at at Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Just four months after meeting, Fiorentino fell pregnant with their first child. The couple got married in 1997 and welcomed their son, Gulliver. The former model gave birth to their second child, Charlie, in 1999. Third time lucky wasn't the case in this scenario as Oldman was hit with divorce papers once again in 2001. Their relationship turned incredible sour following their breakup, with Fiorentino, 52, later accusing Oldman of domestic abuse. He was investigated by cleared of the assault allegation and was awarded sole custody of their two sons. She also claimed their marriage destroyed her self-esteem and left her “broken”. "He is a great actor. Was he a great husband? No," she told The Mail on Sunday. In legal documents filed in 2001, Ms Fiorentino said the actor spent thousands on alcohol and prostitutes during drug-fuelled weekends. But Oldman claimed it was Fiorentino who tore their marriage apart due to her addiction to pills and alcohol. Seven years after his third divorce was finalised, Oldman married Jazz
Singer Alexandra Edenborough, who was 20 years his junior, on New Year's Eve in 2008. "I’m not proud this is my fourth marriage. But this is a good one. Hopefully my last one," he said at the time. Their union lasted seven years before Edenborough, 45, filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. The couple had been separated for one year before they "agreed to an amicable divorce." "Alex and I had several great years together, and we shared a great love during that time," Oldman told Page Six through a spokesman. “But there is big difference in our ages and ultimately that gap inevitably revealed different lifestyle interests.” He added: "I am grateful for the good times we did have, and we remain friends. Of course I wish Alex the best happiness in the future." Oldman has been married to Gisele Schmidt since 2017. The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes star tied the knot with art curator Gisele in late August at the Beverly Hills,
California home of his manager Doug Urbanksi. The couple met thanks to their mutual love of art photography. They have made a number of red carpet appearances together over the years as it appears fifth time's the charm.
