Tony Goldwyn and Jane Musky have been married for more than 35 years.
Tony Goldwyn and Jane Musky’s love has stood the test of time. Their decades-long relationship goes back to the early 1980s, when Goldwyn was at a summer theater camp and Musky was about to work on the big rom-com When Harry Met Sally. They dated for five years before getting married in 1987, and for Goldwyn, it was love at first sight.
“Jane is just the most incredible human being I know. She’s down to earth,” Goldwyn said of his wife on Today in 2019. “I knew when I was 21 and met her, I better hang on because I’ll never come across this again.”
Three years after their wedding, they worked together on 1990’s Ghost. Musky was the film’s production designer, and Goldwyn was the lead. It was also around this time they became parents to their daughter, Anna, who was later joined by her sister, Tess.
While juggling parenthood and Hollywood careers was tough, Musky set a strong example for their daughters with her work ethic. “It was much harder for Jane. She juggled work and coming home to take care of everything,” Goldwyn said in a 2019 interview with Fatherly. “She showed our girls that both parents work hard, and as a result, both of our kids are ambitious.”
So who is Tony Goldwyn’s wife? Here’s everything you need to know about Jane Musky and her relationship with the famous actor.
She is a production designer
Although Tony is known for his acting, Jane Musky has made her mark behind the scenes as a renowned production designer. She has worked on several big rom-coms including When Harry Met Sally, Something Borrowed, Maid in Manhattan, The Bounty Hunter, Hitch, Hustlers, Marry Me, The People We Hate at the Wedding, and Netflix’s Set It Up.
She met Tony through a mutual friend
Goldwyn met Musky through a mutual friend. In a 2017 interview on Live with Kelly and Mark, Goldwyn shared that his best friend had a crush on Musky at the time. “I was in college and my best friend, who is now the godfather of my oldest child, had a crush on her. I ended up going along on a run with them, and that’s when we connected,” Goldwyn recalled. They ended up becoming closer, and the rest is history.
She married Tony in 1987
After five years of dating, Tony and Jane tied the knot in April 1987. During an interview with Today, Goldwyn expressed his deep love and respect for his wife. “For me, I have a lot of respect for her and that has kept me interested in her as a person. Respect is very important,” he shared.
She helped Tony land his first major role
Goldwyn first became well-known when he starred in 1990’s Ghost. This was a major role for him, and he believes he wouldn’t have gotten it without Musky’s encouragement. “Jane’s career took off before mine. She was working on Ghost, and I was an unemployed actor. She suggested I go for a role, and finally, I landed it after much persistence,” Goldwyn explained on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in March 2024. And the rest is history.
She shares two children with Tony
The couple has two daughters, Anna, born in 1990, who is a television editor, and Tess, born in 1995, who is an actress. In a conversation with Fatherly, Goldwyn said, “Jane and I realized that being present for our kids was more important than anything. We made sure they knew they were the center of our universe and not our careers.”
They revealed their secret to sustaining a long-lasting marriage
Goldwyn attributes their long-lasting marriage to communication and teamwork. “Whenever we had difficulties, we’d ask if we were willing to work on it together,” Goldwyn shared in a 2019 interview with Today’s Hoda Kotb. “It takes both people agreeing to work on it, and over time, you figure things out together.”
