Jason London's Wives: Inside the 'Dazed and Confused' Star's Marriages
Actor Jason London, best known for his work in films like "Dazed and Confused" and "Carrie 2," has been married twice to actresses and is the father of one child.
Jason London started working as an actor in the early 90s and audiences got used to seeing him in the skin of rebellious youth. Some fans may not know that the actor has been married and is a father.
Jason London's two wives were both actresses. His first wife was Charlie Spradling, with whom he shares his only child, and his second wife was Sofia Karstens.

Jason London was born in San Diego, California on November 7, 1972. At 19, he landed his first role in "The Man in the Moon" with Reese Witherspoon, and work started rolling in.
In 1992, Jason was cast in what was to become a cult hit, "Dazed and Confused," alongside future Oscar-winners Matthew McConaughey and Ben Affleck and model-turned-actress Milla Jovovich.
Jason was one of People Magazine's Most Beautiful people and went on to star in "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar," "Jason and the Argonauts," and guested on hit series like "Grey's Anatomy," and "The Ghost Whisperer."
Jason has an identical twin brother, Jeremy London, who is also an actor. Jeremy is best known for his work in series like "Party of Five," "7th Heaven," and "I'll Fly Away."
Since then, Jeremy has branched out into producing and directing. Like Jason, Jeremy also married twice: first to Melissa Cunningham, then to Juliet Reeves.
In November 2021, eight years after the incident allegedly leading to his second divorce, Jason was arrested again.
Jeremy has two sons, one from each marriage. Jason often posts snaps of his nephews but never shares photos of his daughter, Cooper.

Jason London's First Wife Was Former Actress Charlie Spradling
Jason married actress Charlie Spradling in 1997. Spradling is best known for her work in horror movies like "The Blob," "Meridian: Kiss of the Beast," and "Puppet Master II."
The actress also worked with iconic directors David Lynch in "Wild at Heart" and "Twin Peaks," and Oliver Stone in the 1991 biopic "The Doors." Spradling has since left showbusiness and moved into business and marketing.
The couple welcomed their daughter Cooper on Jason's 24th birthday: November 7, 1996. But just three years after their marriage, they separated.
However, Spradling only filed for divorce eight years later. The divorce was final in 2011, with Spradling retaining custody of the then-15-year-old Cooper and Jason being obliged to pay $1000 in child support.

Jason London's Second Marriage to Actress Sofia Karstens Also Ended in a Divorce
Even before the divorce from Charlie Spradling was final, Jason had announced his engagement to Sofia Karstens. Karstens was born on May 11, 1976, in Montréal, Quebec.
The Canadian actress and producer is best known for her work on the sci-fi film "Black Box," in which Jason co-starred; the biopic "Lovelace" with Amanda Seyfried, Peter Sarsgaard, and Sharon Stone; and "Chrome Angels."
Karstens married in 2011 in a romantic ceremony attended by 140 guests. Unfortunately, Jason's brother Jeremy, who had introduced the couple, wasn't present.
But the idyll was shortlived, and before their third anniversary, Karstens filed for divorce. The separation came after Jason's arrest after being involved in a barfight.
