We didn't even know you were divorced: Actor Michael Shannon got married

Overseas tabloids are buzzing about the romantic life of the Hollywood star, and rightly so. The actor married photographer Kristie Bush, and it was only with the news of the wedding that it was revealed he had actually divorced his ex-wife under the radar.

Superman star, 52-year-old actor Michael Shannon, married photographer Kristie Bush last week in an intimate ceremony. However, the news came as a double surprise: no one even knew that the actor had divorced his first wife, actress Kate Arrington, the mother of his daughters.

The relationship between the two was kept strictly out of the public eye, and it remains unclear exactly when they started dating. The first sign of their relationship appeared last January, when the photographer joined the actor as a guest at Paris Fashion Week events. Although the actor never officially confirmed his separation from his first wife, according to reports by TMZ, the couple secretly divorced back in 2022—the same year he stopped wearing his wedding ring.

The romance between the actor and his ex-wife began back in 2002, when they met in the theater. They have two daughters together: 18-year-old Sylvia and 12-year-old Marion. For Bush, this is also a second chapter: she was previously married to Interpol drummer Sam Fogarino, with whom she shares a 17-year-old daughter named Francesca.
