Outside of his work, he is famously known for being the ex-husband of a famous actress, Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Split & Divorce :

In early 2017, rumors began to swirl that Stearns and Winstead had split up, but they never went public with any details. People widely alleged that they had separated, and Mary was seeing fellow actor, Ewan McGregor who was also alleged to be separated from his wife of over two decades, Eve Mavrakis.
It wasn’t until May 2017 that both Ewan and Mary left their spouses and went public with their relationship. To this day, many still question if the couple was seeing each other while still in relationships with their former spouses!
After weeks of speculation, Mary and Ewan began dating very publicly and chose not to hide their affections for one another. Ewan’s ex, Eve, who works as a Production Designer, also spoke briefly about the split on her Instagram account when she answered a question about Mary.
Riley chose to post his feelings about his divorce on his Instagram alongside a photograph of him and his former wife, Mary. He thanked her for being a good friend throughout their relationship and stated that they would always be friends.
Riley eventually deleted any posts about his relationship and vowed to look at his future in a more positive light and overcome his pain.
