The 80s bombshell who abruptly quit Hollywood at her peak to live in isolation after a bitter divorce from a massive action star

Kelly LeBrock found fame opposite Gene Wilder in 1984 rom-com The Woman in Red and John Hughes teen classic Weird Science (1985), starring as Lisa, the 'perfect woman' unpopular college students Gary and Wyatt set out to create.

She also appeared in 1990 action thriller Hard to Kill, playing Andy Stewart alongside her real-life husband Steven Seagal as Mason Storm. The film follows Kelly and Steven's character as they try to find out who has killed Mason's family after he wakes up from a year-long coma.

Kelly and Steven Seagal tied the knot in September 1987, a few years after they first met, and welcomed three children together. Three years later they co-starred on screen in Hard to Kill. 

The pair officially split after nine years of marriage, having parted ways in 1994, a separation that was heavily scrutinised by the public amid claims of infidelity and scandal.

The pair reportedly began their relationship while Seagal was in the midst of divorcing his first wife, martial arts progessional Miyako Fujitani. Kelly and Steven faces their own problems as the latter's affair with their family nanny, Arissa Wolf, was revealed.

Kelly filed for divorce in 1994, with evening news channels following the ugly proceedings until they finalized the separation in 1996. The actress stepped away from the spotlight and moved to a California ranch with her children.

Kelly is a mother of three, welcoming daughters Arissa and Annaliza as well as son Dominic with her ex-husband. She has stated that the decision to move out of LA was done for her children's benefit, given the public nature of her divorce, with details being splashed over the evening news.

She told the Daily Mail in 2013: "I didn't want my kids seeing it, so I simply got rid of the TV. I moved my kids out of L.A. so they could grow up with real people - the kids of gas pump attendants, plumbers and real family people."

Kelly still enjoys a quieter life today, explaining that she had traded her life of red carpet glamour for one that had her more connected to the soil. 

In 2021, she revealed she'd found love again and has since appeared on the red carpet, making a glamorous return in 2025 with a cowboy hat completing her outfit – perhaps a characteristically stylish statement that her life lies firmly at her ranch home.
