Who is Jeff Goldblum's wife?

No need to get all bent out of shape because Jeff's wife seems like a cool lady who's very easygoing and extremely flexible. If we haven't dropped enough hints yet, Jeff's wife, Emilie Livingston, is a three-time national Canadian champion in rhythmic gymnastics. The Olympics defines rhythmic gymnastics as a "women-only event in which gymnasts perform on a floor with a rope, hoop, ball, clubs or ribbon accompanied by music, in individual or group events." And, you have to be very bendy to do this.

In April 2013, when Jeff and Emilie had been dating for about two years, she spoke to Neon Tommy about her post-professional athletic life as a contortionist. After leaving Canada for Los Angeles, Emilie studied theatre at the Academy of Dramatic Arts. Once she graduated, she was sponsored by a dance agency, which helped secure her visa. At the time of the interview, Emilie was performing at a French bar in L.A. called Pour Vous.

Emilie actually trained rigorously in Russia before competing in the 2000 Summer Olympics. She attributes her strength and courage to an intense training schedule, which helped in her performances at Pour Vous. In the interview with Neon Tommy, Emilie said, "My boyfriend bought me a rig and it is in the backyard so I can train there. I have a really safe mat, so I can do everything. " She didn't mention Jeff by name, but the two were already dating at the time.
