The couple first met when their paths crossed in the film industry, leading to a loving proposal in Gstaad, Switzerland in 1991, followed by a private wedding ceremony in Paris. They were blessed with three children: Ella, Ben, and Jett, who tragically died at 16 from a seizure related to his autism and Kawasaki disease.
Throughout his career and personal life upheavals, John has consistently put his children first, embodying the role of a nurturing and supportive father. Despite his own grief, he’s been a pillar of strength for his kids, helping them navigate their futures as best he can.
