Lauren Holly Is Currently Dating Jerome Ruffin
When the Hollywood star ended things with her last husband, Francis Greco, she became more private about her relationships. Reports have it that she is currently dating Jerome Ruffin. However, there is no information on her current partner as she has not been so open about her relationship with him. There isn’t any record of what he does for a living, where he is from, his family, and other relationships.
Before Jerome Ruffin, Lauren Had Been Married and Divorced Three Times
Lauren appears not to have been as lucky with relationships as she is with her acting career. She has been in a series of relationships, and they have all failed for one reason or the other. She has always wanted to keep her private life away from the public, but like the Kardashians, the press always finds a way to bring her privacy to the open. Let’s look at her previous relationships to see who and who she has dated or been married to in the past.
Lauren’s First Spouse Was Danny Quinn
Her first marriage was with a Mexican-Italian actor, Danny Quinn. Danny is best known for his role in a cult film titled Band Of The Hand. He is the son of a Mexican painter, actor, and writer, Anthony Quinn. Lauren got married to Danny in 1991, and they stayed married only for two years before separating in 1993 for reasons best known to them. According to reports, Danny abused her in the relationship. He punched her and got violent often. This may be the reason behind their divorce, and the marriage did not produce any children.
She Married Jim Carrey After Ending Her Marriage With Danny
Lauren’s second marriage was with a renowned Canadian-American screenwriter, comedian, actor, musician, producer, and painter, Jim Carrey. Jim co-starred with Lauren in the comedy film Dumb and Dumber, and they got married on September 23, 1996. Unfortunately, their marriage lasted just for a few months, after which he started another relationship and got engaged with his co-star Renée Zellweger. Like the one before it, the marriage did not produce any children.
Her Third Husband, Francis Greco, is the Father to Her Adopted Sons
Lauren Holly stayed single for a while before she met Francis Greco, a Canadian investment banker and businessman who has once served as the Managing Director of Sagent Advisors. The two met on a blind date, and about eleven months later, they got engaged. However, the marriage came two years after the engagement. They got married on March 10, 2001, in Toronto, Canada. At the time of their wedding, Lauren was 42 years, and her groom was 37 years old. This was the longest marriage Lauren has been into, as it lasted for 13 years.
They lived happily for years. After their wedding, Holly and Greco lived together at their Chicago home, where they raised their three adopted sons- Henry Greco, George Greco, and Alexander Joseph Greco. Also, in her marriage to Greco, she became a Canadian citizen and relocated to Canada.
Despite being born in a family of affluence and having achieved great success in his business career, Francis has always tried to keep away from the public spot. Still, it appeared difficult, especially as his wife is a successful actress. The couple’s union finally crumbled in 2014, and they went their separate ways.
