Kyle MacLachlan recently opened up about his past relationship with Laura Dern, reflecting on their four-year romance that began on the set of the 1986 film Blue Velvet. The actor admitted to not handling the end of their relationship well, but expressed gratitude for Dern's kindness and understanding over the years.
MacLachlan described Dern as smart, beautiful, empathic, and possessing a delightful sense of humor with a touch of bawdiness. Despite their youthful mistakes, the two have since rekindled their friendship, with MacLachlan expressing his admiration for Dern's qualities.
The pair had the opportunity to work together again in 2017 when Dern was cast in the iconic television series Twin Peaks, a collaboration that MacLachlan found to be a brilliant decision by series creator David Lynch.
Currently, MacLachlan is happily married to publicist Desiree Gruber, with whom he shares a 15-year-old son named Callum. On the other hand, Dern went on to have children with Grammy-winning musician Ben Harper, welcoming their son Ellery Walker in 2001 and daughter Jaya in 2004. The couple tied the knot in 2005 but eventually parted ways in 2013.
