Eileen Davidson's Husband/Boyfriend and Family Life

The phrase third time’s a charm must be the perfect way to describe Eileen Davidson’s marriages. The reality star was married three times before having a stable marriage with her current husband, Vincent van Patten. 

Eileen Davidson’s first husband was fellow actor, Christopher “Chip” Mayer. They tied the knot in 1985 but separated after only three months of marriage. The couple wasn’t officially divorced until a year after their separation. Eileen Davidson and Christopher Mayer both filed restraining orders against each other after their very messy separation and the court had to order the couple to stay away from each other. In 2016, during an episode in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the court documents of their divorce were obtained and Eileen Davidson admitted that she was a victim of domestic abuse. However, she never confirmed nor denied if Christopher Mayer was her abuser or not. 

The second man, Eileen Davidson fell in love with is another fellow actor, Jon Lindstrom. The couple met through a mutual friend back in the 90s. They decided to date but after their first date, Eileen saw no future with him. After four months of not communicating with each other, the pair saw each other during a fundraiser for inner-city youth. To make the long story short, the couple got into an argument in 1996 which ended up in both of them saying “I love you” to each other. A year after that, they said their I dos in front of 70 guests. Jon Lindstrom and Eileen Davidson’s marriage faced its downfall in 2000 after Lindstrom filed for divorce. It was a very controversial breakup since after the filing, Eileen was seen boarding a flight to Las Vegas with her then co-star from The Young and the Restless, Vincent Van Patten who at that time was also married. When they returned from their Las Vegas trip, Vincent van Patten also filed for divorce. 

The reason for Jon Lindstrom and Eileen Davidson’s divorce became clear when she got married to Vincent Van Patten in 2003. The couple met on the set of The Young and the Restless in 2000. He had a small role in the series playing the boyfriend of her character, Ashley Abbot. During this time, the couple was still married to their respective spouses, Eileen to Jon Lindstrom and Vince Van Patten to Betsy Russell. However, despite these, the couple insisted that they were only friends during the filming of the show but they eventually fell in love. During an episode of RHOBH, Eileen claimed that they never cheated on their respective spouses. The couple has one child together, Jesse Thomas Van Patten. (3)
