How did Tom and Maeve meet?
While it’s not exactly clear how Tom and Maeve first met, the actress’s first movie role was actually in 1994’s Natural Born Killers, which was one of Tom’s early breakout roles, per IMDb. Maeve was uncredited, but she played a “sexy guard,” while Tom played Detective Jack Scagnetti. While it’s not clear if they met while filming, the two did end up getting married two years later in 1996.
Maeve is also an actress
While Natural Born Killers may have been Maeve’s first movie role, she was already establishing herself in the soap opera world, where she starred as Megan Conley on the beloved soap The Bold and The Beautiful from 1992 to 2006. Besides her longstanding time on The Bold and Beautiful, Maeve also has made appearances on shows like 90210, South of Nowhere and many other projects.
She has dual citizenship for the U.S. and Ireland
Maeve is the daughter of Irish immigrants and holds citizenship both for the United States and her parents’ home country. She revealed that she’d pursued being a tennis pro at first at her parents’ insistence. ” My parents came over from Ireland and were extremely into sports,” she told Eden Magazine in 2019.
When she and Tom later split, she spoke a little bit about having her parents’ Irish upbringing affected her. “I grew up in an Irish Catholic household, so religion was important, but what that marriage taught me is that it’s not just the church, it is really about connecting and knowing there’s a higher power,” she told Eden.
Maeve and Tom split up in 1999
After only three years, Maeve and Tom got divorced. While it wasn’t made public when they were first going through the split, the actress has since accused her ex-husband of domestic abuse, in the Eden interview. “I am a survivor of domestic abuse, and that’s something I intend to bring awareness to in my fifties. I didn’t like to talk about it earlier because I was just grateful to be out of that marriage and out of harms’ way,” she said.
Tom had two kids with Janelle McIntire
After Tom and Maeve broke up, he had a relationship with a woman named Janelle McIntire from 2003 to 2006, and she gave birth to the actor’s twin sons Jagger and Jayden in 2005. While not much is known about the teens, they have occasionally accompanied their dad to different events.
