His marriages

Dylan has been married three times, first tying the knot in 1996 with actress Melora Walters, best known for the show Big Love and movies like Dead Poets Society (1989), Boogie Nights (1997), Magnolia (1999), Cold Mountain (2003), and Offseason (2021). They divorced in 2003.

By the time of his divorce, the actor was already dating another actress, Joanna Going, known for shows like Kingdom, House of Cards and Mad Men. They married in 2004 and divorced in 2010. After having two children with Leslie Borque, the pair finally tied the knot in 2022, and are still together.

Dylan and Melora welcomed two children while together: a son named Thomas "Tom," born in 1996, and a daughter named Joanna, born in 1997.

Both children maintain private lives, with Joanna having made a few red carpet appearances with her parents. Tom made headlines in 2023, while working as a sous chef at Baltimore Phillips Seafood, when he was named a hometown hero for rescuing a stranger from a car submerged in the Inner Harbor.

In 2003, a year before his marriage to Joanna Going, the couple welcomed their child Jamie Walsh. Dylan filed for divorce in 2010, citing "irreconcilable differences," and it was finalized in 2012.

Joanna continues to share glimpses into her life with Jamie (born Stella Haven Walsh), who transitioned in their teens and now goes by he/they pronouns. Jamie graduated from Vassar College this past fall and is now a student at Emerson.
