'80s star Griffin Dunne has had both a busy career and family life.

The 70-year-old has been married three times with his longest marriage being to his third wife Anna Bingemann since 2009.

While the star has been acting for over five decades, he's still going strong, his latest turn being a cameo in the show Elsbeth. And  we're delving into his relationships below

Griffin's marriages

Firstly, Griffin married TV producer Kate Forte and the duo were together from 1997 to 2003. The pair met on the set of the movie Jukebox in 1978.

Griffin was married to his second wife and former Bond girl Carey Lowell between 1989 and 1995. He welcomed his only child Hannah Dunne, who was born in 1990. 

Although the couple went their separate ways, they continued to successfully co-parent.

For Hannah's birthday in 2018, the actor captioned a picture of her, and tagged Carey, writing: "Look what stylish little number I helped make 28 years ago. The independent and unique spirit, she came up with that herself. Happy B Day Hannah! @careylowell."

Hannah also caught the acting bug like her parents and is most known for her portrayal of Lizzie Campbell in Mozart in the Jungle.

She has also appeared in 5 Flights Up, Beneath the Blue Suburban Skies and Sharper. The entertainer has also performed in an Off-Broadway play called Terms of Endearment.

Lastly, Griffin married Australian stylist Anna in 2009 and has been married to her since. The duo first crossed paths at Uma Thurman's birthday party. 

Griffin noted that Anna is "an amazing partner and a great mother," per Vanity Fair. He also mentioned to People that the key to a thriving relationship is keeping things private.

The actor revealed: "We've always been very private, and we've been able to maintain that. We don't do things to be photographed or to have our names in the paper."
