James Spader, renowned for his role in “The Blacklist,” was formerly wedded to Victoria Spader, a talented set decorator and yoga instructor. Their paths crossed during the filming of “Sex, Lies, and Videotape” in the 1980s.
They exchanged vows in 1987 and were blessed with two sons, namely Sebastian, aged 34, and Elijah Spader, aged 31.
Unfortunately, their relationship reached its conclusion in 2004 when they decided to go their separate ways. According to The US Sun, James initiated the divorce proceedings in Los Angeles the previous year.
Leslie encountered James while working on the films “The Stickup” and “Alien’s Hunter” in 2003. She has also made notable appearances in movies such as “The General’s Daughter,” “Desert Saints,” and “The Women of Camelot.”
Now, you may wonder about the age difference between James Spader and his girlfriend, Leslie Stefanson. James, the remarkable star of “The Blacklist” known for portraying Reddington, celebrated his 63rd birthday in February this year.
On the other hand, Leslie was born on May 10, 1971, which makes her 51 years old, resulting in a 12-year age gap between her and James.
Consequently, when the couple first crossed paths, Leslie was 30 years old while James was 42.
After their divorce, James and Leslie welcomed their only son, Nathaneal Spader, four years later, and he is currently 15 years old.
In a 2014 interview with Playboy, James shed light on his preference for maintaining a private personal life, away from the prying eyes of the public.
If you are a well-known individual and you wish to draw attention to yourself in public, you can certainly do so. However, it is not something I am inclined to do.”
However, viewers can expect a significant change in the release schedule of the remaining episodes of “The Blacklist.”
Instead of airing on Sunday nights, the show will now premiere on Thursdays starting from June 1st, with episode 15 being the first to follow this new schedule.
