The name Steven Seagal carries different meanings for different people. While many recognize him as a renowned actor, producer, and martial artist in action films, others associate his name with controversial incidents that have garnered attention. However, beyond his extensive almost forty-year-long career, Seagal is actually a family man.

Seagal has tried to keep his private life out of the spotlight, even down to his messy divorces. From his long-term marriage to Fujitani to his short-lived marriage to Adrienne La Rusa, this article will delve into all there is to know about Steven Seagal's messy divorces, what became of his ex-wives, and the children he had with them.

Inside Steven Seagal's Divorces And What Happened To His Spouses

Steven Seagal has been married four times and divorced three times. His first marriage was with Miyako Fujitani, who is Japanese. They got married in December 1974. Seagal left Miyako back in Japan and headed to the US, where he met actress and model, Kelly Lebrock and had an affair with her almost immediately. When information about Seagal's affair with Kelly Lebrock got to Miyako, she filed for divorce in 1984.

During the ongoing divorce proceedings with Miyako and amidst his affair with Kelly Lebrock, Steven Seagal unexpectedly tied the knot with Adrienne La Russa in 1984. However, the marriage was brief as it was annulled within the same year due to Seagal's unresolved divorce from Miyako.

Reports suggest that Adrienne may not have been aware of Seagal's ongoing marriage to Miyako when she agreed to marry him. However, since their divorce, there hasn't been much news about Adrienne, except that she went on to marry Robert French in 1987. She prefers to live a relatively private life, away from the public eye. This choice is likely influenced by the fact that the couple did not have any children together.

After finalizing their divorce, Miyako remained committed to living a simple and private life in Osaka, her place of birth. She remained unmarried, channeling her energy into training her children and running her Aikido school.

In 1987, according to US Magazine, following the conclusion of his divorce with Miyako Fujitani, Seagal married Hollywood sensation Kelly Lebrock. Their marriage flourished for seven years until it ended in 1994. Rumors circulated that Seagal had an affair with their babysitter, Arissa Wolf, which allegedly led to their divorce. However, Kelly Lebrock stated that she filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences" with Seagal.

Another controversy that has shadowed Seagal's career and contributed to his divorce from Kelly Lebrock was the repeated accusations of sexual assault made against him by numerous women over the years.

In May 1991, while still married to Kelly Lebrock, Seagal faced allegations of sexual harassment from Raenne Malone, Nicole Selinger, and Christine Keeve, who were employees of Warner Bros. Seagal reportedly paid each of them approximately $50,000 in an out-of-court settlement to maintain their silence.

Unlike Seagal's first and second ex-wives, Kelly Lebrock has been vocal about their acrimonious divorce and its profound impact on her life. In an interview with the Daily Mail, she disclosed how the messy divorce significantly damaged her self-esteem. Kelly said:

I had absolutely no self-esteem. I hated myself. I decided to swap my old life in Beverly Hills for a new one in the country, in Santa Barbara.

As a mother hen would always protect her chicks, Kelly Lebrock was forced to retreat from the public eye for the sake of her children. She went on to say:

When I split with Steven [Seagal], the divorce was very ugly, and details of the case were on the evening news, I didn’t want my kids seeing it, so I simply got rid of the TV. I moved my kids out of L.A. so they could grow up with real people — the kids of gas pump attendants, plumbers and real family people.

Kelly Lebrock didn't stop at that; after a prolonged absence from Hollywood, the actress returned and openly criticized her ex-husband. She expressed pity for the person Steven Seagal had become, labeling him a "Tragedy of Hollywood" due to his apparent unhappy life and loss of identity, which she attributed to the sexual assault allegations he had faced.

Following their divorce, Kelly Lebrock married retired investment banker Fred Steck in July 2007 but then filed for divorce the following year.

What Happened To Steven Seagal's Children With His Ex-Wives?

Steven Seagal has seven children, five of them from his ex-wives, one with an ex-girlfriend, Arissa Wolf, and one with his current wife. He had 2 children from his first wife, Fujitani Miyako, namely, Kentaro Seagal, born on 3rd October 1974, and Ayako Fujitani, born on 7th December 1979.

Kentaro, like his father, is an actor, martial artist, and model. He is married and has 2 children. Ayako, on the other hand, is also an actress and a writer. She has written and published 2 novellas and has contributed several fiction and non-fiction essays and short stories to different Japanese national publications. She is married to screenwriter Javier Gullon, and they have 2 daughters together. Both Ayako and Kentaro live in Japan.

In 1987, Seagal and Kelly Lebrock welcomed a daughter, Annaliza, followed by a son, Dominic, in June 1990, and another daughter, Arissa, born in June 1993. While Annaliza and Dominic live a relatively quiet life, Arissa has taken the path of her mother and is doing pretty well for herself as a model and a reality TV star.
