Meet Jeff Bridges’ Beautiful Wife Of 45 Years Susan Geston

Jeff Bridges is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation. As the recipient of numerous awards, honors and accolades, it’s no surprise that Bridges has maintained a successful career for the majority of his life. Along with that, he has also found everlasting love with his longtime wife.

Bridges was born on Dec. 4, 1949, in Los Angeles, California, into a home of celebrities. He is the son of actor Lloyd Bridges and actress and writer Dorothy Bridges. Bridges’ older brother, Beau, is also an actor. Growing up with such a talented and esteemed family, Bridges learned the ins and outs of the entertainment industry early on, touring alongside his father for stage productions and even appearing alongside him and Beau in the television series “Sea Hunt.”
Bridges’ career only escalated from that point on, as he went on to star in a plethora of critically acclaimed productions. A handful of the many films Bridges has starred in include “Crazy Heart,” “True Grit,” “The Big Lebowski,” and “Iron Man.”

While the actor has had his fair share of success, he has also faced a few hardships during his lifetime. In October 2020, he announced that he had been diagnosed with lymphoma. Almost a year later, Bridges said his cancer was in remission.

Through all of the ups and downs, Bridges has had the help and companionship of his longtime wife, Susan Geston. The pair have been married for almost 45 years and is still going incredibly strong. Read on to find out more about their beautiful love story.

Bridges has been a popular figure in the acting industry for several decades now, having first made his way to the big screen when he was just a baby. He has stayed busy over the years, acting in a handful of films and TV series and even releasing his own music. His wife, Geston, is someone who also has experience in the entertainment industry as she had a brief acting and producing career. She appeared in “Forbidden Zone” in 1980 and was an associate producer on “Cold Feet” in 1989.

In an interview with the Oprah Winfrey Network, Bridges talked about the first time he met Geston in 1974. Back then, Bridges was already an established actor and was filming a new movie, “Rancho Deluxe,” in Montana. Bridges first spotted Geston when he and the rest of the cast were filming in a hot tub. As he was filming his scenes, Bridges became enamored with Geston, who was a waitress at the time. According to the Daily Mail, the pair began dating shortly after.

For a brief moment, it seemed like the pair wouldn’t make it, as Bridges originally had no intention of settling down and starting a family, but he ultimately didn’t want to lose Geston and their budding relationship. Bridges recalled thinking, “I can’t let this woman go.”

The couple has remained very devoted to one another ever since. On June 5, 1977, Bridges and Geston tied the knot, just five days after Bridges proposed to Geston. “I realized how wonderful marriage is,” Bridges said.

The actor explained that marriage is a “great opportunity” to open many new doors and embark on new adventures with your partner. “We’re going to learn and experience all kinds of joyful things and sorrowful things, but we’re gonna do it together,” he said.

The pair have since gone on to have a beautiful life together and have three daughters: Isabelle, Jessica and Haley. Bridges and Geston are also proud grandparents. Bridges and Geston’s kids also see the love their parents have for each other. “They love each other, but they like each other, they spend time together,” daughter Isabelle said. “They make an effort to ask each other questions about what the other is interested in.”

According to the Daily Mail, Bridges and Geston lived together in Montecito until November 2019, when they sold their Montecito ranch to return to Montana, the place where they fell in love. So, just how have Bridges and Geston been able to make their marriage work for so long? “Love at first sight,” he said, according to PEOPLE.

The couple also makes sure to show just how much they respect and appreciate each other. “We are quite different as people and we celebrate that rather than making it drive us apart,” Bridges said. “I respect her wisdom, and I’m sure the girls do too. I’ve really been blessed.”

As the years continue to go by, it’s clear that Bridges and Geston have all the tools needed to stay by each other’s side. “Time goes so fast, and it’s so precious,” Bridges explained. “To spend it with people you love, there’s nothing richer than that.”
