People Mag: Ewan McGregor & Mary Elizabeth Winstead are still happening
February 27, 2018In the current issue of Star Magazine, there’s a story about Mary Elizabeth Winstead dumping Ewan McGregor. Mary and Ewan seemingly started an affair last year, when they worked together on the third season of Fargo, and both of their marriages fell apart. People often forget that Mary Elizabeth was married too! Yes, her marriage ended too, and everything sort of happened right around the time that Ewan and Mary Elizabeth were “caught” making out at a restaurant. Anyway, Mary Elizabeth has been called a homewrecker and sources told Star Magazine that she hated what it was doing to her career and everything else, so she dumped Ewan. Except someone wants us to know that nothing could be further from the truth.
Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead are still going strong. Despite recent U.K. tabloid reports that the actress broke up with McGregor, leading him to go back to his ex-wife, an insider tells PEOPLE the Fargo costars are still dating. The Trainspotting actor, 46, filed for divorce from Eve Mavrakis on Jan. 19, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split after 22 years of marriage. The star has asked for joint custody of their three children: Clara, 21, Jamyan, 16, Esther, 15 and Anouk, 6.
The couple announced their split last October, and at the time a family source revealed to PEOPLE that they had been separated since last May. The announcement came amid news that McGregor was spotted kissing Winstead, who plays his love interest on their show Fargo. McGregor took his romance with the actress, 33, public in November when he and Winstead were photographed walking hand in hand in Los Angeles.
When the actor won a Golden Globe for best performance by an actor in a limited series or motion picture for television this year for Fargo, he thanked both Winstead and Mavrakis. Winstead split from her own husband, Riley Stearns, in May of last year. They were married in 2010.
I mean… sure. I believe that they’re still together NOW, now that People Magazine has made it into a thing. I want to know which side is confirming this though, because it’s not a stand-alone report – E! News also has a similar confirmation from their sources that Mary and Ewan are still happening. Does Ewan want us to know? Or does Mary want us to know? Or both?
Also: I do think the whole “homewrecked to relationship” thing is the only way out for most celebrities. Many celebrities fool around on their spouses and many celebrities end up divorcing their spouses because of those infidelities. But it “looks better” when the celebrity has an affair and then starts up a relationship with their mistress, you know? That way they can package it as “love.” Think of it this way: would we think worse of Ewan if he destroyed two marriages because of an affair with a costar and then he wasn’t even dating the costar now? That would actually look worse, like he threw away his marriage over someone he didn’t even love.
