Anouk McGregor is the daughter of Ewan McGregor and his ex-wife, Eve Mavrakis, who starred in Trainspotting. She is the fourth and youngest child of Ewan McGregor, an actor who has recently gained media attention for his relationship with Scott Pilgrim vs. the World actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Ewan McGregor has five children, including Anouk. From the mid-1990s to the late 2010s, he was in a long relationship with Eve, the mother of his four daughters. She is a French-born production designer who has worked on films like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.
From the eldest to the youngest of McGregor’s daughters, there are a few unanswered questions. While the majority of the girls have addressed those concerns on their own, Anouk McGregor, despite her young age, remains a mystery. Especially when it comes to her relationship with the Star Wars actor; if she is his biological daughter, where she came from, and so on. Decipher all of this in the writings below.
Anouk McGregor’s Parents Met While Filming A Television Series
McGregor and Eve, Anouk’s parents, met in the 1990s when the Scottish actor was playing a minor role in the television series Kavanagh QC. Mavrakis, who was born in France and was five years his senior, was the production designer on the same project.
In an interview with The Graham Norton Show, the Perth-born actress stated:
“I knew right away that I wanted to be with her.”
McGregor stated that he wanted to be with her in a different way than he had been with all of the other many women he had been with up until that point.
They married on July 22, 1995, and were married until 2018.
Anouk McGregor Has Four Brothers and Sisters.
In February 1996, the British-American actor and his ex-wife, Mavrakis, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Clara. She is also a model and an actress. Ewan was 25 years old when Anouk’s eldest sister, Clara, was born.
Clara has a Wilhelmina Models contract and has modeled for Fendi bags. The OBE star’s eldest child attended the Tisch School of the Arts in New York.
Jamyan, Her Other Sister, Was Adopted
After Clara, Anouk’s parents, McGregor and Eve, welcomed another daughter, Jamyan, into their family. However, the Crieff native adopted the Mongolian child in 2006 while filming a television adventure series in Mongolia.
The now-50-year-old actor met the orphan when she was just two years old while riding his motorcycle across Mongolia in 2002. She was born in June of 2001, according to reports. Jamyan, in contrast to Clara, is pursuing a career in academia. She attends Mitchell College. In New London, Connecticut, it is a private liberal arts college.
Her Sisters Are Bisexual
Esther, Anouk’s other older sister and Ewan’s second biological child, was born in November 2001. She and her sister, Clara, collaborated on modeling campaigns and frequently appear in each other’s Instagram posts.
Esther is a tattoo artist, musician, photographer, and clothing designer, among other things (her line is called EnL Clothing). She is currently enrolled at NYU and will graduate in 2024. She also plays in a band called French Thyme with her friend Leo Major.
Esther and Clara, Anouk’s sisters, revealed in 2019 that they were both bisexual. They even boycotted Coachella after learning about the founder of the music festival’s “anti-LGBT beliefs.”
She Has A Half-Brother As Well.
Anouk has one younger half-brother from her father’s relationship with actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead. McGregor welcomed Laurie, his fifth child and first son, with Final Destination 3 actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead in June 2021.
Anouk McGregor Was Adopted By Her Parents
After having three daughters, the Emmy winner and Mavrakis adopted a fourth. And she would be none other than Anouk this time. McGregor, unlike Jamyan, has not revealed the true origin of his fourth child.
In fact, the actor had no intention of revealing anything about her; he had accidentally mentioned her during an interview with the New York Post in June of 2011, allegedly a few months after her birth.
According to reports, she was born in March of the same year.
McGregor and Eve adopted Anouk when she was four months old in 2011. She, like her sisters and mother, is fluent in French.
Anouk McGregor’s Actor Father Didn’t Spoil Her And Her Sisters With His Wealth
Despite their celebrity, McGregor and his ex-wife did not raise Anouk and her sisters in a celebrity environment. In September 2018, he told Men’s Health that he was opposed to taking the kids to premieres or even buying them iPods.
On the other hand, he stated that parents must spend quality time with their children.
Her Parents Separated After Two Decades Of Marriage
In January 2018, Ewan filed for divorce from Eve after 22 years of marriage. People reported in October 2017 that the couple had ended their courtship and had been living separately since May.
According to court records, Anouk’s parents filed for divorce on January 18th, 2018, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Mavrakis told The Sun in 2017 that her divorce from McGregor was disappointing and upsetting, but that her main concern was for her four children.
Mavrakis sought sole custody of their daughters at first, but McGregor filed for joint custody. Their divorce was finalized on August 13, 2020.
Despite the tensions that arose as a result of McGregor’s divorce and new relationship, he remained a loving father to his five children.
While McGregor and Eve’s first three daughters were well into adulthood at the time of the divorce, Anouk was still quite young. As a result of the proceedings, a US judge granted the Doctor Sleep star and his ex-wife joint custody of their youngest daughter, Anouk, who was nine at the time.
The Reason For Anouk McGregor’s Parents Divorce
While neither McGregor nor Eve have stated why they divorced, the tabloids and some insiders blame actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
As a result, amid the news of the Moulin Rouge and the French art director’s divorce, various media outlets published photos of McGregor kissing his Fargo co-star, Winstead, in a London cafe. The two are said to have started dating in the middle of 2017.
McGregor and Winstead had previously portrayed lovers Ray Stussy and Nikki Swango in FX’s Fargo.
Winstead was also in a relationship with filmmaker Riley Stearns. They divorced in May of the same year that Anouk’s parents divorced.
Her Mother Began Dating A Composer Four Years After Divorcing McGregor
Multiple sources began discussing Anouk’s mother, Eve Mavrakis’ new relationship with composer Jonathan Elias in July 2021.
In fact, Anouk’s production designer mother had gone public with her new relationship before it became a topic of discussion. Eve had posted a photo of herself and Jonathan on Instagram while on vacation in Italy.
Anouk’s Father Filed A Lawsuit Against A Media Company For Invading His Daughters’ Privacy
McGregor and Mavrakis preferred to keep their personal lives private when they were together. As a result, while on vacation in Europe in 2002, a paparazzi photographer took and published photographs of the couple and their children.
McGregor later sued the publication for invading his family’s privacy and won the case. According to reports, the actor was awarded nearly $75,000 in damages as a result of the legal dispute.
Anouk McGregor Directed A Short Gig For Jimmy Fallon’s Host
Anouk worked as a camerawoman for Jimmy Fallon, the American late-night show host, during one of his motorcycle stunts in September 2020.
McGregor, Anouk’s father, was performing Jimmy Fallon’s ‘epic’ motorcycle stunt with an Obi-Wan Kenobi figure. This came after Fallon’s team at The Tonight Show challenged the Obi-Wan Kenobi actor to a motorcycle leap over an Obi-Wan action figure.
They expected him to say no, but the Scottish actor said yes. McGregor later admitted that despite the warnings of his representatives and lawyers, he accepted the challenge.
So, when the Golden Globe-winning actor finally completed the challenge, his adolescent daughter, Anouk McGregor, was behind the camera. Later, the father praised Anouk for her “amazing camera work,” saying the film would not have been possible without his youngest daughter.
