Jurassic Park legend Jeff Goldblum has always been a bit of a romantic at heart. But when he first locked eyes with his future wife, Emilie Livingston, he knew right then and there that she was the one for him. The two tied the knot in 2014, and ever since, they’ve been lighting up red carpets and hearts everywhere. Let’s dive into their love story and get to know the woman who captured the heart of one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors.
How Jeff Goldblum Found Love Again
From his breakout role in the gritty 1974 thriller Death Wish, Jeff Goldblum quickly became a household name. Over the years, he’s been married twice—first to Patricia Gaul from 1980 to 1986, and then to his Transylvania 6-5000 co-star, Geena Davis, from 1987 to 1990. After these relationships ended, Jeff took some time to focus on his career and personal growth. But deep down, he always believed that love would find him again. And it did, in the most unexpected way.
In 2011, fate stepped in during what seemed like an ordinary day at the gym. Jeff was working out at Equinox on Sunset Boulevard when something extraordinary happened. He spotted Emilie across the room, and just like that, he was smitten.

“I saw her from across a crowded room, and I marched up to her, entranced, and began some kind of conversation,” Jeff recalled during a candid interview with Wired in March 2018. It was love at first sight for this Hollywood icon, and he wasn’t about to let the moment pass him by.
Meet Emilie Livingston: The Woman Who Stole Jeff's Heart
Emilie Livingston isn’t just a pretty face; she’s an accomplished athlete with a passion for fitness. Born in Canada, Emilie represented her country as a rhythmic gymnast at the 2000 Summer Olympics. After retiring from competitive gymnastics, she transitioned into performing a stunning contortion routine at a Los Angeles bar called Pour Vous. Her talent and dedication didn’t go unnoticed, and soon enough, she found herself collaborating with some of the biggest names in entertainment.
In an interview with Neon Tommy in April 2013, Emilie opened up about her career and the support she received from Jeff.
"I am so fortunate, my boyfriend bought me a rig and it's in the backyard so I can train there,” Emilie gushed. “I have a really safe mat, so I can do everything!” With Jeff by her side, Emilie felt empowered to pursue her dreams and take her career to new heights.
Her incredible skills didn’t stop there. Emilie has worked with megastars like Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, and Justin Bieber, gracing both their music videos and live performances. Emilie is not only a gymnast but also a performer who brings energy and excitement to every stage she steps on.
The Arrival of Family Joy
After tying the knot in 2014, Jeff and Emilie decided it was time to grow their family. At the age of 62, Jeff became a father for the first time when Emilie gave birth to their eldest son, Charlie Ocean Goldblum, on July 4, 2015. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect, as Jeff shared the news on Facebook with a heartfelt message.

"We're so excited to share the wonderful news of the birth of our son, Charlie Ocean Goldblum, born on the 4th of July. Independence Day," Jeff wrote, celebrating the arrival of his little bundle of joy.
Two years later, in April 2017, the couple welcomed their second son, River Joe. Becoming a dad later in life hasn’t slowed Jeff down one bit. In fact, he’s embraced parenthood with open arms and a sense of wonder.
"I'm glad I waited," Jeff told iNews in March 2018. "It feels great to do it right now, because all the things I'm considering are perfectly suited to the big questions and challenges of having kids, and what you want to expose them to." Parenthood has clearly brought immense joy and fulfillment to Jeff's life, and he wouldn’t trade it for anything.
