Who Is Jane Stuart? New Details on Kevin Dillon's Ex-Wife and Their Huge Divorce Settlement

Kevin Dillon is best known for playing the out-of-work and often broke actor Johnny “Drama” Chase on Entourage. Now the actor is out of work in real life and is telling divorce courts in California that he is too broke to pay the hefty alimony and child support fees he owes his ex-wife. Dillon and ex-wife Jane Stuart were in court recently over delinquent payments meant to cover his daughter’s private school tuition. Dillon was saying that his income now doesn’t match what he is supposed to be paying his ex-wife and their 13-year-old daughter. The judge thought differently and ordered Dillon to pay out a $1.7 million lump sum to make up for his missed payments.

What’s going on with Dillon and his ex? Read on for all the divorce details. Who is Jane Stuart?

1. Career

Kevin Dillon is the younger brother of 80s heartthrob Matt Dillon and has a notable acting career of this own. After doing small roles in film and TV, he had a breakout role in the acclaimed 1986 movie Platoon, where he played psychopathic soldier Bunny. He kept working steadily, playing parts in movies like The Blob, The Doors, Gone In The Night and Hotel for Dogs. In 2004, he started on the series Entourage, playing the younger brother of fictional actor Vinnie Chase. The series was produced by Mark Wahlberg and was loosely based on Wahlberg’s own Hollywood experience. Dillon was nominated for two Emmys and one Golden Globe for his performance.

2. Marriage

In 2006 he married Jane Stuart in Las Vegas. She was already pregnant with the couple’s child, who would be born a month after the wedding. His best man was his Entourage co-star Jerry Ferarra and another castmate, Kevin Connolly walked the bride down the aisle. Dillon kicked off the ceremony by yelling “Victory!” the catchphrase of the fictional character his Entourage character once played.

Stuart filed for divorce from Dillon in 2016 after ten years of marriage, according to Page Six. Dillon contested the date of separation she cited, claiming that they actually split in 2008, a point when he allegedly moved out of the home they shared. The dates matter because of California divorce law; after 10 years of marriage, a spouse is entitled to more support payments and has a claim on earning from the period of the marriage. The courts ultimately ruled in favor of Stuart’s version of events and decided that Dillon needed to pay about $11,500 per month in combined child support and spousal support payments.
