Jean-Claude Van Damme & Gladys Portugues

They say that love is sweeter the second time around. Well, for Jean-Claude Van Damme and Gladys Portugues, that is especially true!

The Belgian actor has had five marriages in the past. He was first married to Maria Rodriguez from 1980 to 1984, Cynthia Derderian from 1985 to 1986, followed by Gladys Portugues from 1987 to 1992, then Darcy LaPier from 1994 to 1997, then again to Portugues in 1999. As you can tell, his romantic life was as colorful as his career. However, you might be asking what made him come back to his third wife. Well, apart from having two children together, Van Damme and Portugues also believed that they were made for each other. Just like their marriage, however, the pair almost gave their break up a second shot when she marched into her lawyer’s office wanting to file for legal separation. Fortunately, they were able to smooth things out and are now back to being a complete family.
