Although they have been married for more than 20 years, the superstar and her cinematographer husband haven’t always had an easy relationship. The cinematographer’s ex-wife claimed early in their relationship that the actor had stolen him and bought her a divorce.
Any man would be fortunate to be in the company of this superstar, who is without a doubt one of the most gorgeous actresses in Hollywood. Some, like her ex-husband Lyle Lovett and the briefly engaged Kiefer Sutherland, considered themselves fortunate to have been in her romantic life.
Liam Neeson, Dylan McDermott, Matthew Perry, and Jason Patric were also connected to her. She discovered in 2000 why none of these relationships were successful.
The actress met her husband in 2000 while working on the set of “The Mexican.” He was the man behind the cameras, while she worked in front of them.
While her husband was married to makeup artist Vera Steimberg, the actress was dating Benjamin Bratt at the time. She said in an earlier interview that she had changed her life in an unfathomably wonderful way, and that meeting her husband had been a major turning point in her life.
Despite not dating straight away, the two eventually worked things out in their lives and ended their relationships. Six months after meeting the actress, the cinematographer filed for divorce from his wife, but he struggled to get a divorce because Steimberg wouldn’t let go.
The actress claimed that meeting the cinematographer was akin to meeting her soul mate—someone who showed her the true meaning of happiness. Everything about it, she said, was “comfort and terror.” “Terror because the person I want to impress most is looking right at me.” she said again.
Regarding all the gossip regarding how she met her spouse, the actress merely said that people assumed a lot about her dating experiences, and this was no exception. People were unaware of their relationship, she continued.
She admitted that the beginning of their relationship was terrible because she was afraid of losing a friend in the event that their relationship did not work out. Then she was asked about his marriage, if she was aware of it, and what it was like to fall in love with a married person.
The actress underlined once more how much it affected her, but before moving on, they made sure their relationships were resolved. Even so, Winfrey persisted, inquiring as to whether the couple had fallen in love before deciding to get married.
According to an outlet, Steimberg was put under extreme pressure by the actress to sign the divorce papers until she eventually gave in. Even though the makeup artist was unwilling to give up on their marriage, Steimberg allegedly called the movie star “desperate” for wanting the cinematographer all to herself.
The actress described their relationship as one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences, despite the media portraying her as the cause of the cinematographer’s marriage breaking down.
The actress from “Pretty Woman” gushed about how much her spouse had improved her life. She claimed to have had a very self-centered life, concentrating only on her filmmaking. But he moved her priorities as soon as the cinematographer arrived.
