He was previously married twice before, and has two sons and one daughter with his exes.
This isn’t Madsen’s first brush with the law. Nearly five years ago, Madsen pleaded no contest to misdemeanor drunk driving stemming from a 2019 arrest after he crashed his Land Rover into a pole in Malibu.
At the time, he was sentenced to four days in jail and five years probation.
