Another fan exclaimed joyfully upon seeing Fraser's new look, "Yooooo is my man losing weight too?! Heck yeah! He looks amazing. I seriously couldn't be happier for him. Nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than seeing good people winning!"
Who Is Jeanne Moore, Brendan Fraser's Girlfriend?
Although Fraser has been seen with Moore a few times now, Moore has mostly kept her personal life private, preferring to stay away from the cameras, unlike her partner. Moore is based in Calabasas, California, and she makes a living as a make-up artist and cites marketing, brand management, and writing among her expertise.
Jeanne's support meant the world to Fraser, especially since his last relationship ended on a sour note.
Although she prefers working off-screen, Moore has no problem appearing in public by Fraser's side. She has offered him moral support throughout the awards season, appearing alongside the actor at the 32nd annual Gotham Awards in New York City in 2022. The rest of the year, Farser and Moore smiled happily together on the red carpet.

Moore has had a chance to open up about her partner's recent successes in Hollywood, noting how proud she is of what he has achieved. The two were first seen together at the 2022 Venice Film Festival when they graced the red carpet together, and when Fraser received a six-minute standing ovation, Moore looked just as happy as he did.
Although the happy couple hasn't shared exactly how they met, odds are the entertainment industry played a role. Moore has worked with several high-profile celebrities and has even formed close friendships with the likes of Paula Abdul and Gary Marshall. She shared an image of them together a year before Marshall's death.
While all the details of their relationship aren't publicly available, it's clear that Moore has become a welcome addition to Fraser's family and seemingly gets along with his two boys, Holden Fraser and Leland Fraser. The actor also commended her for her endless support, thanking her during his Oscars acceptance speech.
In a heartwarming display, Fraser addressed Moore when he won the award for Best Actor, saying she supported him through the last few years, "It's been like I've been on a diving expedition to the bottom of the ocean, and the air on the line [has come from] some people in my life. I love you, my best first mate Jeanne."
Why Did Brendan Fraser Divorce His Previous Wife?
Jeanne's support meant the world to Fraser, especially since his last relationship ended on a sour note. After the actor was reportedly blacklisted from Hollywood and his career took a nosedive, his marriage also eventually failed. In 2009, after almost a decade together, Fraser and Afton Smith decided to go their separate ways.
Although the two told news outlets that they had separated on friendly terms, things soon turned less-than-amiable when the financial aspect of their divorce came up. While Fraser struggled to find a job, Smith refused to believe that he was as down on his luck as he insisted. Eventually, she sued him for fraud.
The lawsuit came after Fraser allegedly went to court to have the annual $900,000 child support and alimony checks he had to pay reduced, but Smith kept insisting that the actor had assets he wasn't declaring. Fraser, on the other hand, had claimed at the time of the divorce that he expected to make no money in the coming years.

Seeing as Fraser was a popular actor at the time, Smith seems to have some reason to doubt the claims that he wouldn't be making any money as an actor. Fraser claimed that he had no assurance that he was going to have any parts in the years after their divorce but eventually conceded that he did land a few roles.
Although he was working to some degree, the actor also claimed that his medical bills were crippling, following a number of injuries he had sustained working on "The Mummy" and its sequels. Afton's lawyer also reportedly claimed the actor had about $24.7 million in assets, making things even colder between the two parties.
Finally, the former spouses managed to come to an agreement. After they were done with the divorce, Fraser faced the death of his mother, and he was having serious trouble staying in the acting game. Meanwhile, he still had three kids to care for and was trying to find new roles.

Following the divorce, Fraser and Smith also put their differences aside, and the actor recently commented, "Being with my kids and their mom and our family has given me such love." And just when fans thought they wouldn't see Fraser on the big screen again, he managed to make a comeback.
