In terms of his first marriage, the actor married at the age of 24, which he considers being a “far too young” age for marriage.
However, in his memoir Putting the Rabbit in the Hat, which was published in October 2021, he explained why he married Burt despite knowing he was too young.
After a troubled childhood, he stated that he was looking for stability and “normalcy” in his life.
That is a different story, but to cut a long story short, he witnessed his father die when he was eight years old and his mother is hospitalized after a mental breakdown.
“I desired the security of marriage and children. “After what I’d been through, I craved the normalcy of a home and a family,” Cox explained.”
After 18 years of marriage and two children, the Scottish actor and Burt divorced.
He also mentioned in his memoir that he struggled with parenthood during his first marriage because his job kept him away from home for so long.
