1. Mavrakis and McGregor have four daughters together

Mavrakis is 51 currently and McGregor is 46. They have four daughters together, Jayman who is 16, Clara who is 21, Esther who is 15 and Anouk who is 6. Their daughter Jayman was adopted from Mongolia. Their daughter Clara is a student of the NYU's Tisch School of Arts. She studies photography there and recently launched her own photography website in 2014. In an interview with the Daily Record in 2014, Clara said, “Ever since I was little, I had a camera which I would walk around with. I really enjoyed taking photographs and, as I got older, I felt I could potentially be good at it – and decided to follow through with it.” Although being the daughter of a famous actor, Clara always maintained a low profile and her parents too kept their daughters out of the spotlight. She never wanted to become an actress. In an interview with the Daily Record she said, “I’ve never been tempted to try acting. It’s not for me. As a little girl, I tried it but it was never anything I pursued as I grew up.”

2. They met on the sets of Kavanagh QC

McGregor and Marvakis met on the sets of "Kavanagh QC” and fell in love. They got married in 1995 and moved to Los Angeles to raise a family. Ewan McGregor once got candid on the Graham Norton show and opened up about his marriage. He said, “I knew right then that I really wanted to be with her and I knew I wanted to be with her in a different way to all the other many, many, many women I had been with up until that point. And I wasn’t wrong. I made the right choice."

3. They have been separated since May

But as disappointing as is sounds, this couple of 22 years also decided to split and go different ways. They ended their marriage and divorced each other in May this year. The divorce had not been exactly a mutual and happy one. There was a buzz in town that McGregor had been having an affair with his 'Fargo' co-star. On Sunday, The Sun published photos of McGregor kissing his 'Fargo' co-star Mary Elizabeth Winstead. According to the customers who saw them kissing at the London Cafe said that they two were very comfortable with each other. One source told The Sun, “Ewan and Mary Elizabeth were there together and seemed relaxed in each other’s company.” Another is reported as saying, “They were deep in conversation and were there together for more than an hour. As they left she got on to the back of Ewan’s motorbike and they sped off together.” Elizabeth Winstead was initially married to writer-director Riley Stearns for seven years but the couple had split in May. Marvakis broke her silence on the entire issue by commenting on Instagram saying 'What can I do?' when a dear friend posted on Instagram about her shock and anger on seeing McGregor with Elizabeth.

4. Mavrakis goaded him to direct 'American Pastoral'

McGregor once admitted to the cameras at the 2016 Mill Valley Film Festival that his wife was the one who persuaded him to direct the 2016 film 'American Pastoral'. McGregor says, “I was attached to play the role for three or four years before I became the director. The project almost happened and then didn’t, almost happened then didn’t… Through discussion with my wife she was the one who brought my attention to it saying, ‘You should do it. You should think about directing ‘American Pastoral’. She was the one who sort of spiked my interest to it.” After a bit of soul searching and extensive research on the project, McGregor decided that it was something that he wanted to do. He wanted to first make sure whether he could act and well as direct it.
