Who is Colton Haynes wife?

Jeff Leatham (ex-husband)

Colton Haynes got a divorce. And he totally remembered the day he did it – May 1, 2018. On this airy spring day, he put his signature under the divorce settlement, which stated that his husband Jeff Leatham and he had no claims to each other. Well, to put it delicately, they have… Very recently, Jeff made a lot of claims to his young husband – he demanded that Colton stop drinking, pull himself together, focus on his work. Leatham – always so confident and disciplined – did not even make allowances for the fact that Haynes had recently lost his mother. And this happened just a few months after their wedding. Their luxurious, bright, and insanely expensive wedding, where there was everything – from huge cascades of burgundy roses, which enveloped the guests with their thick dewy aroma, to a huge wedding cake, which was delicate and delicious. Colton was so moved by the moment that he could not hold back his tears during the ceremony. Who could have imagined then that this all wouldn’t last forever? (Read about Colton Haynes’ ex-husband Jeff Leatham in the article “Jeff Leatham‘s Family”). And here we will talk about Colton’s family and the way he grew up and turned into the idol of millions.

Who are Colton Haynes parents?

William Clayton Haynes (father)

Date of birth: May 10, 1941

Date of death: September 16, 2004

The heartthrob Colton Haynes, who has already gained a large fan base on social media, looks like a very attractive and successful young man. That’s why it’s hard to believe, that he had any difficulties while he was growing up.

To some extent, Colton was a happy child. His parents were hippies that’s why they didn’t have huge control over the lives of their kids. Colton, who spent his early years in Andale, Kansas called himself “a wild child”. He told in one of his early interviews that he was a kind of Mowgli. He ran around his parents’ farm being naked, played with animals, and felt so free.

On the other hand, he witnessed his parents’ divorce and wasn’t very close with his father. In 2004 his dad committed suicide, and although Haynes Sr. didn’t tell it directly, Colton thought, that the reason for his father’s act was his coming out as gay.

William Clayton Haynes spent the major part of his life in Texas. He was married 7 times. With his wives, he parented five kids. He committed suicide, having taken 40 oxycodone pills. He didn’t write any message and did not explain his decision to kill himself. But Colton’s teen photo on his fridge made his son and other relatives think that the reason was the actor’s coming out.

Bio

Colton Lee Haynes is an American-based popular actor. He made a long way from an awkward village boy to a Hollywood heartthrob.

He was born in Andale, Kansas in a family of two free-spirited parents. His mother and father didn’t stay for long at the same place. He moved a lot from one place to another and changed several high schools. Colton studied at schools in Florida and Kansas, but he graduated from Samuel Clemens High School in Texas.

He started his career in the entertainment industry as a model. The man with a killer smile and ideally shaped body immediately was noticed by model scouts. But Colton didn’t like that job, although while doing it he had an opportunity to travel around the world. Very often he was criticized for his height (the actor is 175 cm tall). After several years in modeling and cooperation with such brands as Abercrombie & Fitch, Ralph Lauren, and some others, he decided to be in front of the camera, but at a new side. He decided to become an actor.

He launched to act in front of the camera in 2007, and his first project was the TV show “CSI: Miami”. One of his most popular screen works is in the TV series “Teen Wolf”, where he portrayed Jackson Whittemore, the captain of the school swim team. He was the main cast in the first two seasons and played the guest role in the 6th season of the show. His other prominent screen works include the series “Arrow”, “The Gates” and many others.
