Emilio Estevez Wife: Marriage History Explained (2026)

Is Emilio Estevez Married Now?

No. As of 2026, Emilio Estevez is single. He has been married once in his life: to singer Paula Abdul. The two wed in 1992 and divorced in 1994 after two years of marriage.

Clarification: some low-quality websites claim Estevez married "Sonja Magdevski" from 2006 to 2018. This is not supported by credible reporting. Estevez did have a long-term relationship with Sonja Magdevski, a winemaker and owner of Casa Dumetz in Los Alamos, California — they met while she was helping him plant a vineyard in Malibu — but according to a 2021 podcast interview with Magdevski, they are no longer together, and she has since married fellow winemaker Greg Brewer. There is no verified record of Estevez marrying Magdevski.
