Actor Christopher McDonald says he was “broken” after Geena Davis left him following their 1985 relationship. In comments he makes publicly, he recalls being hurt by the breakup after they were engaged, and he describes the emotional impact of Davis moving on.
Both outlets report that Davis later begins a relationship with Jeff Goldblum, which McDonald links to the period when Davis and Goldblum connect while filming overseas. McDonald also portrays Goldblum as someone Davis ultimately finds chemistry with, while noting that the situation affected him deeply at the time.
The accounts also emphasize that, over time, McDonald says he has healed and that their past has been put in context. He describes reconnecting with Davis later during the production of “Thelma & Louise,” and notes he has since built a family life through multiple marriages and children.
