Who is Tony Goldwyn married to?
Tony Goldwyn has been married to Jane Musky since 1987. The couple first met during the 1980s, when Goldwyn was 21.
“Jane is just the most incredible human being that I know,” Goldwyn told Hoda Kotb during an interview on The Today Show in 2019. “She's just a very salt of the earth person. And I knew when I was 21 when I met her, I better hang on because I'll never come across this again.”
How did Tony Goldwyn meet his wife, Jane Musky?
Goldwyn told the story of how he met Musky during a 2017 interview on LIVE with Kelly and Mark, and revealed that originally, it was Goldwyn’s best friend who was supposed to be going on the date with her.
“He said, ‘There’s this girl I’m obsessed with, and she likes to run, and I don’t have any running shoes,’” Goldwyn recalled. After he lent his friend a pair of running shoes, he was invited to come along on the date “as a wingman,” but ended up swooping in on Jane himself. “We ended up running up to this beautiful pond, and going skinny dipping,” he recalled. “[My friend] kind of stopped running with us, and then Jane and I kept running. We’re still running.”

We realized it was a great example for our girls to see that we both work equally hard, and both of my kids are ambitious.”
