Kevin Spacey’s Wife: He Has Never Been Married…

From what we gathered, the Academy Award-winning actor has never been married. Spacey is known for his strict need for privacy because it is easier to convince his audience about his roles on screen. Regardless, he has been with several women in the past including;

April Winchell

As one of Hollywood’s leading men with roles ranging from romance to crime thrillers, his good looks are not lost on the ladies and it’s unsurprising that he was romantically linked with April Winchell, an actress, writer, and radio host between 1976 and 1977.

Diane Dreyer

His relationship with Diane Dreyer, a script supervisor, is generally reported to be the longest one for The Usual Suspects actor. Reportedly, the two started dating as far back as 1992. However, these were mostly speculations.

Nonetheless, the two attended the Academy Awards together in 2000 further confirming the speculations that they had a romantic involvement. If there was still any doubt in anyone’s heart, this was removed when Spacey thanked Dreyer for helping him to care about the right things during his acceptance speech for Best Actor at the event. He concluded by saying he loved her.

Since that outing, the pair were not seen together making it his longest publicized relationship.

…And he has Come Out as Gay

Since he has not been publicly seen with any woman and he has chosen to keep his love life private, many speculations have made the rounds about his sexual orientation first by Esquire magazine in the early 2000s. However, he refuted the claims.

In 2017, the 64-year-old actor came out as gay in a public apology to actor Anthony Rapp. It would be recalled that Rapp accused him of sexual misconduct during a party in 1986. At the time Rapp was 14 years old when an intoxicated Spacey made a sexual advance towards him. However, it was years later that Rapp brought the issue to light.

Though Spacey initially refuted Rapp’s accusation, he later apologized for his conduct in a Twitter status. However, Spacey faced a backlash for using such a sensitive case to come out as a gay man. Subsequently, Rapp filed a lawsuit against Spacey in 2020. Notably, 15 other men came forward with similar allegations. As it is, the case has garnered a lot of attention and had a negative effect on Spacey’s career including the loss of professional relationships and recognitions.

Kevin Spacey Does Not Have Children

Though he has been linked with many leading women in the industry, Spacey is not a father. The closest that the New Jersey-born entertainer revealed about family is his hope to have children.

In 2015, he revealed that he wanted to have kids but claimed that it was early at the time. However, he has not come around to settling this part of his life.

Regardless, he is passionate about the kids that his educational foundation, the Kevin Spacey Foundation caters to. While he is not a father yet, he may choose to have kids at an advanced stage of life like the Godfather actors, Robert de Niro and Al Pacino. Also, he sees a picture of himself in some of the shy kids at the foundation that stay in the corner.
