Brendan Fraser vacations with girlfriend Jeanne Moore in Italy
Brendan Fraser and his girlfriend Jeanne Moore were recently seen enjoying a beachside vacation in Ischia, Italy. Exclusive photos obtained by TheFantasyTimes captured the “Mummy” star, shirtless and donning olive green swimming trunks, as he and Moore took a dip in the ocean. Fraser completed his summer look with a matching baseball cap and sunglasses, while Moore opted for a light blue bikini and sunglasses, complemented by a messy bun.
The couple spent their time basking in the Italian sun and soaking up the island vibes. After their romantic swim, Fraser and Moore covered up before leaving the beach. Fraser wore an off-white bucket hat and a neutral polo shirt, along with his baseball cap, while Moore sported a white cover-up, an off-white hat, and carried a beach bag. The couple is currently in Italy attending the Ischia Global Film Festival, where Fraser is set to receive a prestigious award.
Their beach outing was not the only significant moment for the couple. They made their public debut at the 79th Venice Film Festival in September 2022, and since then, Moore has been a constant presence by Fraser’s side at various Hollywood events. When Fraser won an Oscar for his lead role in “The Whale,” Moore was spotted in the audience, sharing in her boyfriend’s emotional moment. Fraser’s heartfelt acceptance speech received a powerful six-minute standing ovation from the attendees.
This relationship marks Fraser’s first public partnership since his divorce from Afton Smith in 2009. The couple has three sons together. Fraser rose to fame in the ’90s and early 2000s with memorable roles in films like “George of the Jungle” and “Bedazzled.” However, he took a step back from the spotlight in the late 2000s due to personal challenges, including his divorce, multiple surgeries, and the passing of his mother.
Years later, Fraser made a triumphant return, giving his first interview in 2018. During this interview, he revealed that he had been sexually assaulted by the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Philip Berk, in 2003. Fraser’s allegations were met with denial from Berk, who claimed it was a joke. Despite these hardships, Fraser has made a successful comeback, with upcoming roles alongside A-list actors like Leonardo DiCaprio in the film “Killers of the Flower Moon.”

“His left hand reaches around, grabs my ass cheek, and one of his fingers touches me in the taint. And he starts moving it around,” the actor alleged to GQ. “I felt ill. I felt like a little kid. I felt like there was a ball in my throat. I thought I was going to cry.”
Berk called Brendan’s claims a “total fabrication,” adding that he had once pinched the movie star’s butt as a joke.
Since making his big comeback via “The Whale,” Brendan has begun working on other upcoming roles with other A-List actors.
According to IMDB, his next film is “Killers of the Flower Moon,” in which he stars alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.
