Who is Blake Jenner wife Melissa Benoist?
Blake Jenner has had several roles in movies after his role play in Glee. He is currently single, unmarried, and has an ex-wife, who is his cole star in both Glee and Supergirl, Melissa Benoist.
Jenner became engaged to Melissa Benoist in 2013 and the pair reportedly married in 2015. The same year of their marriage, Benoist commented that they had been married “longer than anybody knows,” with some sources claiming that the couple actually wed in 2013. Benoist filed for divorce in late December 2016, citing irreconcilable differences, and the divorce was finalized in December 2017.
Seems the marriage between Melissa and Blake was not rosy after all when Melissa shared an Instagram video chronicling her experience as a survivor of domestic violence in 2019. According to Melissa she had suffered serious abuse in her remarriage and had recalled suffering an injury in 2015 that tore her iris and left her pupil permanently enlarged. She claimed a phone was thrown at her during a domestic dispute in a relationship marked by repeated abuse.
Jenner seemed to have been very sorry about how things ended and responded via an Instagram post in October 2020, in which he admitted to causing the eye injury and confirmed the infliction of abuse throughout the relationship.
Blake also alleged that the abuse during their relationship had been mutual and that Melissa had physically assaulted him too.
Benoist had previously stated in her original Instagram video that she began fighting back in defense against Jenner’s attacks during their relationship.
