The Life And Career Of Soap Star Eileen Davidson

April 2024 ยท 2 minute read

While Eileen Davidson is now happily married, her relationship history is actually rather soap-worthy. Davidson was married to "Dukes of Hazzard" actor Christopher Mayer from 1986 until 1987. RadarOnline reported that both Davidson and Mayer requested restraining orders against the other as part of their divorce proceedings. 

On "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," Davidson opened up about having been in abusive relationships when she was younger. While she did not name names, she spoke at length about being a survivor in her Bravo blog. "Being 'strong' doesn't mean you can't find yourself in an abusive relationship. It can happen to anyone. I know, because I've been in two of them; once when I was a teenager, and again in my 20s," she wrote.

According to RadarOnline, Davidson had a romance with actor Jon Voight after her divorce from Mayer. The couple was seen together at the 1989 People's Choice Awards and appeared together in a film, 1991's "Eternity." The romance was not built to last, however, and the couple split soon after the movie premiered. Davidson went on to date fellow soap star Jon Lindstrom, who was on "Port Charles" and "General Hospital" at the time. The couple wed in 1997 but filed for divorce in 2000. Apparently, it wasn't a messy split. According to Soap Central, Lindstrom said in a statement, "This is an amicable situation." Davidson then married Vince Van Patten in 2003 and the two have been together ever since.
