Veteran actor Kevin Kline, known for his role in Apple TV+’s “Disclaimer,” has been married to former actress Phoebe Cates for over 35 years. In an industry notorious for fleeting relationships, Kline attributes their enduring marriage to their unconventional approach – avoiding the typical trappings of Hollywood life.
Kline humorously declared that their relationship is not a “Hollywood marriage” in the literal sense as they’ve never lived in Hollywood, choosing instead to raise their family in New York City. He also emphasized that they both prefer a low-key lifestyle, a stark contrast to the often-flashy celebrity world.
“She’s got her head on her shoulders, unlike me,” Kline said about Cates, praising her for her grounded personality. He jokingly added, “She’s a great wife, a great mother, great person, and she keeps me honest. Except for in interviews.”
The couple met in 1983 during auditions for the film “The Big Chill” and married in 1989. While Kline continues to act, Cates retired from film acting in the 1990s and runs a boutique in New York City. Together, they have two children, Owen and Greta.
Kline’s perspective highlights the importance of finding balance and staying true to oneself, even within the pressures of Hollywood. Their story serves as a reminder that a happy and lasting marriage can exist even in the midst of a glamorous and often tumultuous industry.
