Wes Bentley Wife

Speaking of his personal life, Bentley was previously in a marital relationship with actress Jennifer Quanz from 2001-2009, when they divorced due to substance abuse. Actually, he once in a New York Times article on February 8, 2010, narrated that his addiction to drugs started after the success of the release of American Beauty and that he hid his addiction from his wife, whom he separated in 2006 and he moved to an apartment where he now started sinking into drugs, bigtime.

This led to problems on the set of films P2  and  Weirdsville and in 2018, the police arrested him and forced him into counseling and the 12-step programs. He relapsed, however, and “continued using heroin until he was broke”. So in July 2009, that’s when he opened up to one of his friends that he was a drug addict and that he needed help for him to stop.

“I’m a drug addict and an alcoholic, and I need help. I need help or I’m going to die”. He again entered a 12-step program and, while clean since then, considers himself on the path to recovery. As we peak, Bentley shares a blissful relationship with his wife, producer, Jacqui Swedberg (married in 2010), and children, a son, Charles Bentley, and a daughter, Brooklyn Bentley, both born in late 2010 and 2014, respectively.
