Who Is Afton Smith?
Brendan’s ex-wife, Afton Smith, is a former actress turned writer. According to her IMDb, Afton is from Northport, Long Island, and began her acting career with a minor role in the 1987 film Less than Zero. She went on to snag roles in the movies Pyrates, Fried Green Tomatoes, Reality Bites, and A Reason to Believe. After meeting Brendan in 1993, she appeared in George of the Jungle with him, as a friend of Ursula (played by Leslie Mann). Afton eventually quit acting and published a book in 2004 called Hollywood Picks the Classics: A Guide for the Beginner & the Aficionado, about classic movies from the Golden Age of film. In 2011, Afton published the children’s book Point to Happy, for children on the autism spectrum like her and Brendan’s son Griffin.
Afton’s Marriage To Brendan Fraser
Brendan and Afton reportedly met in July 1993 at a barbecue at Winona Ryder‘s house. They got married on September 27, 1998, and welcomed three sons: Griffin, 20, Holden, 18, and Leland, 16. In 2018, Brendan told GQ that Griffin is “rated on the autism spectrum.” The actor also said, “Um, and so he needs extra love in the world, and he gets it. And his brothers, ever since they were small, one was always the spokesperson, and the other was the enforcer.”
After nine years of marriage, Brendan’s publicist announced that the actor and Afton were divorcing in 2007. The divorce was finalized two years later, after Brendan was reportedly ordered to pay $50,000/month in alimony and $25,000/month in child support. But in 2011, Brendan petitioned with the courts for a reduction on his alimony payments and claimed that he couldn’t afford it, according to Radar Online. Afton later reportedly accused Brendan of fraud and alleged that he was hiding assets from his movies.
Brendan and Afton currently share custody of their children. Brendan told GQ in 2018 that his sons live with their mother in Greenwich, Connecticut, a short distance from his home in Bedford, New York. “They’re here all the time,” he said.
