Ewan McGregor Splits From Wife, Spotted Kissing ‘Fargo’ Co-Star Mary Elizabeth Winstead
“Fargo” star Ewan McGregor has split from his wife Eve Mavrakis after 22 years of marriage.
A family source confirmed to People that McGregor and Mavrakis have been separated since May.
News of the couple’s split comes just hours after The Sun published photos of McGregor kissing his “Fargo” costar Mary Elizabeth Winstead at a West London café.
“Ewan and Mary Elizabeth were there together and seemed relaxed in each other’s company,” an eyewitness told the British publication. “They were deep in conversation and were there together for more than an hour. As they left she got on to the back of Ewan’s motorbike and they sped off together.”
McGregor and Mavrakis met each other on the set of the British TV crime series “Kavanagh QC,” in which the actor appeared in a 1995 episode. Mavrakis was an assistant art director and a production designer on the show at the time.
McGregor and Mavrakis got married in 1995 and now shares four daughters together: Clara, 21, Jamyan, 16, Esther, 15 and Anouk, 6.
Winstead, meanwhile, announced her split from her own husband, writer Riley Stearns, in May. “We’ve decided to move on from our marriage, but we will stay best friends and collaborators for all our days,” the actress captioned a since-deleted Instagram photo of her kissing her now-ex on the cheek. “We are still ride or die, just in a different way now. I love you always, Riley.”
In Season 3 of FX’s “Fargo,” McGregor played the dual roles of brothers Emmit and Ray Stussy. Dubbed as the “Parking Lot King of Minnesota,” Emmit is a successful business man, while his younger brother, Ray, is a financially struggling probation officer. Winstead portrayed femme fatale Nikki Swango, a recent parolee and Ray’s fiancée. In the season premiere, McGregor and Winstead shared a steamy bath scene.
“Everything sort of hinged on that bathtub scene with the two of us, because we were both gonna be naked,” Winstead recalled in an interview with Elle. “As Ray, McGregor needed to look like he was actually overweight, so he was putting on as much weight as possible, and meanwhile I’m in the gym doing squats, which I never thought I’d have to do on ‘Fargo’ of all shows!”
