It is said that Jeff and his long-time spouse, Susan Geston, first crossed paths when she was working as a waitress. Jeff was instantly captivated by a unique trait she possessed. At the time, Jeff was shooting the movie “Rancho Deluxe” (1975) and Susan happened to be a server at Chico Hot Springs where the team was filming.

In his book, “The Dude and the Zen Master,” Jeff shared that he couldn’t stop stealing glances at Susan. Eventually, he mustered up the courage to ask her out once their work was done. However, Susan declined his offer, and even after repeated attempts, she continued to refuse his advances.

Bridges didn’t get the reaction he desired, but Geston still mentioned that there was a chance they might bump into each other in their small town. Fate took its course when they crossed paths at a dance club while not at work. Jeff realized during this encounter that he was in love with her.

When Jeff asked Geston out again, she agreed to go on a date with him. However, the scheduled date happened to coincide with Jeff’s meeting with a real estate agent. Geston accompanied him, and even though they weren’t officially dating yet, they began exploring properties together.

During a trip to a ranch by a river, Jeff experienced a mysterious moment when he heard a quiet voice telling him he was with his future spouse. Eventually, Jeff and Susan got married and have now been together for over 45 years. They have three grown-up children.

Despite their differences, the couple appreciates and respects each other’s unique qualities, which has strengthened their bond over time. Jeff values Susan’s wisdom and believes that their daughters do as well, acknowledging that he has been truly fortunate in his marriage.

“We are quite different as people, and we celebrate that rather than making it drive us apart,” Jeff explained. “I respect her wisdom, and I’m sure the girls do too. I’ve really been blessed.”

Bridges faced a difficult battle with lymphoma in 2020. His wife, Susan, played a crucial role in helping him through this challenging time, providing invaluable love and support. Fortunately, after undergoing chemotherapy, Jeff’s health improved and he announced that he was in remission in 2021.

Many people, including Jeff Bridges’ fans, find his journey and loving relationship with his wife to be inspiring. Their strong bond and Susan’s unwavering support highlight the power of love in overcoming difficult circumstances.
