Inside Afton Smith’s Private Life: Where Brendan Fraser’s Ex-Wife Is Today
By Marcus Vance
Q1: Did Afton Smith pass away?
A: No. Afton Smith is alive and well. Internet confusion typically stems from automated scrapers confusing her identity with unrelated obituary notices for non-celebrities who share her name.
Q2: Why did Afton Smith leave acting after George of the Jungle?
A: Smith chose to step away from Hollywood to prioritize raising her three sons. Her oldest son, Griffin, was diagnosed with autism, requiring focused attention and specialized developmental support that made the erratic demands of film production unsustainable.
Q3: Does Afton Smith still receive alimony payments from Brendan Fraser?
A: Spousal support agreements of that era typically run for a fixed duration or cease upon specific life transitions. With their children now adults and the ten-year spousal support window established in the 2009 settlement fulfilled, those payments have concluded, while both parents maintain open support for Griffin.
