Few topics can capture the attention of the public like Hollywood romances. Often, these relationships are not restricted to actors; directors and producers are commonly found in intimate relationships with the stars of their films. For these individuals, being in a relationship with an actor or actress can bring them even greater fame than their work. As well, celebrity divorces can be highly publicized, bringing about even greater recognition.

This is arguably the case for Len Wiseman, whose relationship with Kate Beckinsale was widely covered by the media. The two met on the set of Underworld, the popular film of which Beckinsale was the star and Wiseman was the director. Although they enjoyed 11 years of marriage, they separated in 2015 and divorced in 2016. They collaborated for the next chapter of the Underworld series, Underworld: Blood Wars, which is set for its US release in 2017.

While many people likely know Wiseman as Beckinsale’s ex-husband and the director of the Underworld series, his career and life are far more interesting than this superficial understanding. He is a highly talented and motivated individual who has seen a meteoric rise in the entertainment industry. Here are ten of the most interesting facts about Len Wiseman.

10. He has made the most of the single life

While going through a divorce can be an extremely painful experience, Wiseman moved on fairly quickly. He did not waste any time finding companionship. Shortly after separating from Beckinsale, he was spotted having a night on the town with model CJ Franco. Some have noted the similarities between Franco and Beckinsale in terms of appearance, although the model is considerably younger than both Beckinsale and Wiseman. Clearly, he is not allowing any heartache he feels to slow him down.

9. He is on good terms with his ex-wife

While divorces are often nasty, drawn-out ordeals that leave both parties resentful, Wiseman and Beckinsale appear to be amicable. The two have agreed not to pay each other spousal support, and sources have stated that they remain friendly. Given their continued cooperation in the Underworld film series, it is encouraging to know that the two get along in their private lives as well.
