Jeffrey Tambor's Married Life With His Third Wife Kasia Ostlun
With the series of a failed marriage, the 74-year-old actor and comedian Tambor has finally found his perfect match. Currently, the actor is married to his third wife actress Kasia Ostlun.
Soon after his divorce with second partner Katie Mitchell in 2000, Tambor started dating Ostlun. The couple eventually tied the knot in October 2001.
They are blessed with four children. Tambor adopted a son Gabriel Kasper in December 2004. Then their second child, daughter Eve Julia was adopted in 2006. Ostlun gave birth to the twins, Hugo Bernard and Eli Nicholas in 2009.

With all the accusations surrounding Jeffery these days, one might think that he might be having troubles with his partner as the allegations of sexual harassment is a severe issue but as of now, we have not heard anything from the couple.
They are still together, and no news of their divorce is heard. They must be working thing out within themselves, and the accusations have not been proved yet.
Jeffrey Tambor Accused Of Sexual Harassment
Earlier in November 2017, Tambor's former assistant Van Barnes accused him of sexual harassment. Barnes who is transgender claimed that Tambor passed lewd comments, propositioned her and even threatened her if she tried to complain.
Lysette claimed via Twitter post:
"He came in close, put his bare feet on top of mine so I could not move, leaned his body against me, and began quick, discreet thrusts back and forth against my body. I felt his penis on my hip through his thin pajamas."
The actor, however, denied the accusation with the statement:
"I am aware that a former disgruntled assistant of mine has made a private post implying that I had acted in an improper manner toward her. I adamantly and vehemently reject and deny any and all implication and allegation that I have ever engaged in any improper behavior toward this person or any other person I have ever worked with."
He added:
"I am appalled and distressed by this baseless allegation. The past few weeks have seen a flurry of allegations and investigations into various Hollywood figures, including Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, James Toback, Brett Ratner, and Ed Westwick. Westwick, like Tambor, swiftly denied the allegations against him."
