Jean-Claude Van Damme, the son of a Belgian father and a Flemish mother, currently lives in Thailand.

Throughout his life, the actor has been married five times to four women. His first wife was Maria Rodriguez, whom he divorced after four years of marriage in 1984.

He later married Cynthia Derderian, but that union lasted only a year.

In 1989, Van Damme married bodybuilder Gladys Portugues, who gave birth to their two children, Kristopher and Bianca Brigitte.

In 1994, the actor married actress Darcy LaPier, with whom he has a son named Nicholas.

It was during that marriage that he had a widely discussed affair with Australian singer Kylie Minogue. Their relationship developed while filming "Street Fighter" in Thailand.

Darcy LaPier, who was pregnant at the time, learned about the affair only years later when Van Damme publicly admitted it in 2012.

Later, in 1999, the actor remarried Gladys Portugues, and the two have remained together to this day.

Van Damme's relationship with Kaverina

The story of his relationship with Ukrainian Aliona Kaverina began in 2009 when they met at a nightclub in Thailand.

In 2012, Aliona returned to her hometown of Kryvyi Rih, where she briefly told journalists about her life abroad.

Later, the couple appeared together at the Molodist Film Festival in Kyiv, where Van Damme was an honorary guest. It was there that the actor introduced Kaverina as his girlfriend.

They also attended several social events in the capital.

According to rumors, the star has taken his beloved to Hong Kong, where he has lived recently. However, the couple rarely stayed in one place, because they traveled the world together.
