Actor Amelia Heinle was the bride of renowned actor Michael Weatherly, who is currently wed to Dr. Bojana Jankovic.
After first meeting on the set of the television soap serial Loving in the early 1990s, the two began dating. Heinle took on the role of Steffi Brewster in the soap drama, while Michael Weatherly played Cooper Alden.
When Weatherly met Heinle, he was in his early 20s. He was then cast on the soap series Loving and its spinoff, The City.
They had already been married by February 1995. In 1996, they also had their first child, actor August Weatherly, who is also their oldest son.
Divorce After Two Years of Marriage
Even though Weatherly and his first wife had a good beginning, they were unable to sustain their marriage or relationship for an extended period.
In 1997, less than two years after getting married, the couple divorced. The actor acknowledged in a December 2017 interview with People that his present happy family life was the result of learning from mistakes, such as his divorce from Heinle.

The NCIS actor also discussed the reasons for his and his first wife’s divorce throughout the conversation. He claimed that the pressures of providing for a wife and child were difficult for him.
I had to feed people and provide them with a roof over their heads even though I could hardly take care of myself at 27 years old, he continued.
To support his family financially, he even accepted pretty much any job that was offered to him. But doing so meant spending more time away from his family, dividing husband and wife.

In addition to the ex-couple, August also experienced hardship following his parents’ divorce. The actor’s oldest son had just turned one year old.
Weatherly previously told People that because one of the parents was usually away from their child, it was “a tough thing” for his son to adjust to the couple’s separation.
However, it’s assumed that the two actors frequently took time off from their jobs to care for their babies.
The actor’s son is currently in his mid-twenties.
