Jason Bateman’s Wife Is Amazing
Jason Bateman is currently starring in Horrible Bosses, making us laugh our asses off. But he also has a serious side, believe it or not.
Jason has a past filled with coke and booze,
“He was on the road to self-destruction,” a source tells Star. Even after saying “I do” to Amanda Anka, daughter of famed singer Paul Anka, in 2001, Jason couldn’t clean up his act. Until his wife gave him an ultimatum: “Amanda threatened to leave if he didn’t get help,” says the source. “It was a wake-up call for Jason. He realized that to keep his wife, he’d have to give up the drugs and booze.”
Jason committed to AA and has remained sober ever since. Rock on!
“If it hadn’t been for Amanda, Jason may still be using,” the source says. Now, with daughter Francesca, 4, the couple is happier than ever. “They look like newlyweds,” reveals another source. “Jason is one very proud and very happy family man.”
What a touching story. I’ve always been a fan of Jason’s but I am more so now. He’s a strong, inspirational guy. Amazing, and a great wife on top of it. Kudos to you both!
