You might struggle to remember the exact films where he appeared, but you have definitely seen
his face on-screen throughout many, many years. Timothy Hutton has been acting all his life. And
even though he has never been publicly regarded as one of the top hottest men in Hollywood,
the actor has reportedly dated the most beautiful and popular A-list actresses of Tinseltown.
Today we look into what really stands behind the good guy image of Timothy Hutton, into both of his
marriages that ended in divorce, his romances with Angelina Jolie, Demi Moore and Uma Thurman. And
finally how after all of this, in his mid 50s, he moved in with his twenty-something co-star.

Hutton has worked steadily in film and television for decades. In 1980, aged just 20, he became
the youngest recipient of a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in “Ordinary People.”
It is exactly when the Urban Cowboy actress, Debra Winger), fell for the aspiring young star.
But before Hutton eventually met his first wife, he had been linked to many A-list actresses,
too many we could even say. And we are talking about Jennifer Grey,
Demi Moore, Kim Cattrall and Diane Lane, among others. Interestingly, you will barely find
any information about any of these romances, no matter how long they lasted. So by his mid 20s,
after numerous whirlwind romances, Hutton was apparently ready to settle down.
Several years later, Debra and Tim finally met when they hosted the music festival Farm Aid
together. At the time, the actress had just broken up with former Governor of Nebraska, Bob Kerrey
and this meeting was like a breath of fresh air both for Hutton and Winger.
Not much is known about this relationship, aside from the fact that it was quite eventful. In 1987
Winger, who was 5 years older than her husband, gave birth to their son Noah.
Hutton, despite his young age, was totally mature and excited about fatherhood.
Shortly after Noah's birth, he gave an interview talking about his first time experience as a dad:
''When he was born, I cut the cord and gave him a bath and
was changing his diapers right away. I loved it'
The actor also called Debra a great mom.
At the time the couple exercised the approach ''when one works, the other doesn't''
to be there for their son. And it seemed to be working really well for their family.
Unfortunately, two and a half years after welcoming the baby boy the couple called it quits.
Hutton filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as a reason for their separation.
In between this marriage and the next one, Hutton again was linked to several
high-profile actresses, including Angelina Jolie and Uma Thurman.
Angelina and Timothy starred together in 1997’s Playing God, and it is believed
they shared an on-set romance. But they never confirmed their relationship. One source said:
'It's rumored that Angelina was so heartbroken when he called it quits
that she had an 'H' tattooed on her wrist because of her love for him.'
Jolie DOES have an "H" tattoo on her wrist, but opinions differ in regard to its origin.
Some say it's dedicated to her brother, James Haven.
Hutton's second marriage with the French illustrator and niece of the former French
president followed a similar pattern like this first one but it lasted a bit longer.
Hutton managed to keep his private life low-key during his most intense years
of acting and dating. Surprisingly, much more information started to surface about
the actor and his love life as he aged and relatively fell off the Hollywood radar.
It was reported in 2015 that the 54-year-old actor had secretly moved in with his American Crime
co-star. Doesn't seem unusual, right? But here is a thing, his alleged girlfriend Caitlin Gerard was
26 at that time. Sources were saying that she had fallen head over heels in love with Hutton.
Sources also revealed that Hutton's son Noah, who is just one year older than Caitlin,
was staying with the couple in their home and that they were hitting off.
Some reports say the two dated just for several months, while
some believe the two are still together. If so, based on the romance's longevity,
things are serious between the lovebirds. And their romance has already been tested.
Several years ago, a Canadian ex-model and former child actor Sera Johnston claimed that in 1983
Hutton had sexually assaulted her when she was 14 while a friend watched and later committed
the same horrible act to her. According to Sera, all of this happened in the actor's hotel room.
Johnston filed a criminal complaint with the Vancouver police in late 2019.
Hutton's lawyers immediately responded to the allegations,
saying that the actor “completely and unequivocally denies” the story,
that he never met Johnston, and that he was the subject of an extortion attempt.
Two years later Hutton was cleared of charges, with the Canadian authorities having found, quote,
"glaring lack of support and proof of Ms. Johnston's claim".
Even though no charges were pressed against the actor, it cost him the lead role on the
Leverage reboot. Hutton has filed a suit against the production company
for violating the terms of their contract, according to which they owe him $3 million.
The suit claims that Electric Entertainment did not investigate the allegation and still
owes him $3 million for its “flagrant breach of contract.” According to the terms of his February
2020 agreement with the company, he would have been paid $175,000 per episode, the suit states.
Hutton's lawyers are sure about their victory, stating:
“This was a flagrant and pretextual breach of an agreement that had
been done for weeks before Electric Entertainment decided there was no deal.
Worse, Electric made this decision without any investigation whatsoever".
Meanwhile, the company insists that Hutton failed to disclose the allegations posed
against him before or during negotiations for him to reprise his role in the reboot.
"Consequently, once we learned of the allegations in the press,
we ceased negotiations with him and chose to move on without him. His baseless
allegations against us are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves.”
We are yet to see how this suit ends but clearly Hutton doesn't intend to let it go.
As long as Hutton is still believed to be with his partner Caitlin Gerard, we decided you would want
to know a little bit more about the 33-year-old actress. Even though you might not have seen her
in every second movie, Gerard has been steadily growing her fan base throughout these years.
Caitlin is super serious about her career and obviously chooses her roles very carefully.
A 2019 journalist called Gerard, quote, "an accomplished (and underrated) actor" in the
article titled Caitlin Gerard Is Horror’s Greatest New Star. This looks like a fair statement
considering that the Los Angeles born star has gained prominence as a horror movie actress.
Before appearing on the silver screen and on the big screen,
she appeared in numerous theatre plays, having perfected her acting skills.
Apart from getting formal education and establishing herself as a successful actress,
Caitlin discovered her interest in the field of writing, and following her interest,
she got enrolled in UCLA for learning Creative Writing.
In 2019, Gerard co-wrote and directed the short comedy film I Lost My Mother's Ashes
which was nominated for Best US Short at that year's Palm Springs Film Festival.
So it's clear that Caitlin is a super versatile and talented personality - practically in
everything she is doing. No surprise Hutton immediately fell in love with his co-star
when they were shooting American Crime. I mean, we are in love here, as well.
So let's hope the rumors these two are together are not rumors.
Let's also hope this beautiful couple will prove that age gap is nothing when
you are two mature people with common values and interests.
That's all for today! Unless you've subscribed to Rumour Juice already…
What are you waiting for? See you soon!
