After 14 years of marriage, filmmaker David Lynch is once again going through a divorce. This time, it’s from actress Emily Stofle, who filed for divorce on December 1, 2023, seeking sole custody of their daughter.

Lynch and Stofle tied the knot on February 26, 2009, making it the fourth marriage for Lynch and the first for Stofle. Stofle, born on March 14, 1978, hails from Hayward, California, and has appeared in Lynch’s projects like Twin Peaks: The Return and Inland Empire.

This impending divorce marks Lynch’s fourth, with his previous marriages to Peggy Reavey from 1968 to 1974, Mary Fisk from 1977 to 1985, and Mary Sweeney from 2006 to 2007. Lynch has four children, Jennifer, Austin, Riley, and Lula, from his various marriages.

The acclaimed director’s personal life seems to be as complex and intriguing as his cinematic creations, and fans will no doubt be watching closely as this latest chapter unfolds.
