Actually, he was an alcoholic, who fell off the wagon a few yrs ago and was accused of spousal abuse. Apparently, he’s a mean drunk. I remember the story back then. I thought his career was over. Guess he made a comeback.
Don’t know if they’re still married.
He certainly had his demons to fight. WIKI Bio:
