Is Christina Applegate married? Meet Martyn LeNoble.

Christina is married to Dutch musician Martyn LeNoble. They tied the knot back in 2013 and have done their best to keep their relationship as private as possible. According to Us Weekly, Christina and Martyn got engaged in 2010, though they’d been in each other's lives as friends for many years leading up to his proposal.

Christina opened up about her love for Martyn, who was there for her through the highs and lows of her health struggles.

In a December 2020 Reddit AMA, the actor reflected on the divorce, telling fans: “Being raised Catholic and having parents that are still together over 50 years, I felt I failed everyone. I thought God had given up on me. Sex, drugs, alcohol and dark nights became who I was. I knew I needed to find someone who loved me as much as I loved them.”

While Christina went on to later marry Martyn, Johnathon eventually moved on to marry Julie Solomon, who is a visibility and influence coach, per her IG.
