Emmy Rossum opens up about the marriage
Hear the surprising red flags Emmy Rossum ignored before her brief first marriage
Actress Emmy Rossum is reflecting on her past and sharing the red flags she ignored before her first marriage to music producer Justin Siegel. During an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the star revealed that she felt intense pressure to tie the knot back in 2008. After landing a major movie role that required her to film in Mexico for six months, Siegel gave her an ultimatum: either break up or get married.
Driven by a fear of abandonment, Rossum agreed to a hasty, secret backyard ceremony. However, she admits she knew deep down that the decision was not right. The couple divorced shortly after she returned from filming. This video details her candid reflection on that relationship and how she eventually found lasting love with her husband, Sam Esmail.
