Guy Pearce draws mixed reactions after calling ex-wife ‘greatest love’ despite dating Game of Thrones star

Pearce has been dating Carice van Houten for the last nine years. “My ex-wife, Kate, was the greatest love of my life, but I’ve moved on from her now and the greatest love of my life is my child, Monte,” he answered. “No one knows me like Kate does, and we’ll forever be appreciative of our mutual respect,” Pearce added. “We’ve both grown enormously through our relationship, but sadly, the time has come to part ways.”.
During another portion of The Guardian interview, Pearce was asked what he considers his biggest disappointment to be. The actor responded, “I felt like I messed up my marriage. I don’t feel that way any more, but at the time I was devastated.”. Shortly after their divorce was finalized, he began dating van Houten, known for her role as the “Red Woman” Melisandre in Game of Thrones. She gave birth to their son Monte in August 2016.
On Reddit, fans were quick to discuss the awkwardness of Pearce’s comment. “Oof, bit of a slap in the face to his current partner,” one person posted in the “Fauxmoi” subreddit. “I like him for standing up for Palestine but this is an incredibly cruel thing to voice aloud when you’re married to someone else??????????,” wrote another.
“He really could’ve just said his child without mentioning his ex wife, since the question was in present tense, but it’s extra weird to mention both the ex and your child without mentioning the partner with whom you’ve had said child,” a third argued.
Others speculated that Pearce and van Houten were no longer together. “I read an interview with him last week that mentioned he ‘travels regularly to the Netherlands to visit the son he shares with Carice Can Houten.’ The way it was worded, doesn’t sound like they’re together anymore.”.
