Inside Eric McCormack And Janet Holden’s Relationship Before Their Sudden Divorce

According to TMZ, Eric McCormack and Janet Holden got married in August 1997, a few years after they met working on “Lonesome Dove” — and about half a year after McCormack snagged the role of Will Truman on “Will & Grace,” according to his interview with The Guardian. McCormack also said how achieving mainstream success as someone already settled down and married was better because, “If it had happened when I was younger, you might have seen me falling out of nightclubs.” 

McCormack and Holden have one child who was born in 2002 — a son named Finnigan Holden McCormack (via Pinkvilla). In an interview with iNews about how the “Will & Grace” reboot was directly tied to Donald Trump’s election, McCormack explained that he and Holden were dual citizens of the U.S. and Canada. They thought about living in Canada during Trump’s presidency but decided against it for their son’s sake. McCormack told the outlet, “But then we were thinking ‘We’re two votes that need to be counted’ and my son was born here. He identifies as Canadian but he’s an American citizen and he needs to see that we’re fighting for his country.”
