Erdenetuya Batsukh has been married to '90s action star Steven Seagal since the late 2000s. She married the actor shortly before welcoming their son and has appeared alongside him onscreen.
Steven Seagal is one of the most well-known stars in entertainment and other fields. The actor has mostly kept his personal life relatively private; however, he has shared a few details with fans occasionally.
He has been married to Erdenetuya "Elle" Batsukh, the mother of his youngest son, for many years, and her husband has shown a few glimpses of their life on his social media.

Erdenetuya Batsukh: Steven Seagal's Wife's Hollywood Stints
In 2019, Batsukh's husband starred in "General Commander," an action thriller following a GRS operative and a team of young recruits as they pursue notorious criminals. She had a minor role in the film, playing Tuya Alexander.
It's her only known film credit; however, it's not the first time she appeared on TV. In 2010, she featured in a season two episode of Seagal's reality show "Steven Seagal: Lawman." The series followed Seagal as a real-life sheriff deputy with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office in Louisiana.

It had been about a year since he and Batsukh tied the knot when he brought her on the show. Shortly before, their son, Kunzang, was born. Seagal shared that he always brought his wife and son with him whenever he worked in Jefferson Parish.
"I have six children, and I love all my kids more than anything in the world. Kunzang is the latest edition, and he's the light of my life. He's getting big and strong," he said. He revealed he met Batsukh in the early 2000s while trying to raise money for a Genghis Khan film. She was also his assistant for five years.

"My darling husband, I couldn't be more proud of you today for having lived such [a] wonderful life where you have achieved and accomplished so much in just one lifetime, and you did it all with honor, love, and truthfulness!" the message read.
