Natalie Wihongi is a makeup artist who rose to fame after marrying New Zealander actor Karl Urban who is popular for his role, Leonard McCoy, in the Star Trek reboot film series.
The couple, who married in 2004, mutually divorced in 2014. Urban is linked to a few actresses and models post-separation but what about Natalie? Has she found someone? Is she dating or still single?
Natalie Wihongi's Life After Separating From Husband Karl Urban-Is She Dating Someone?
Natalie Wihongi, the famous makeup artist, was married to Karl Urban. Urban is an American actor who has screened in a handful of movies, including, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Bourne Supremacy alongside Matt Damon.
Reports claim that the couple tied the knot in September 2004 after dating for several years. Wihongi was his makeup artist from the movie, The Privateers.
The duo shares two children, both sons, Hunter Urban, who is 17 years and Indiana Urban, who is 12 years old. They gave birth to their older son before marriage, so we can assume that the couple dated for quite a long before tieing the knot.
The movie inspired their younger son's name, Karl said,
“That was not my choice. That was my wife’s choice. We were sitting down one-day watching Raiders of the Lost Ark. There’s that scene where Marion has been abducted. She’s going, ‘Indy’. [Natalie] looks and me and goes, ‘That’s it. That’s the name.’”
Though everything thing seemed perfect between them, in 2014, the couple decided to get a divorce.
Their split was mutual, which was announced in a statement,
"We are committed to maintaining our family relationship, working together to ensure that our children are affected as little as possible. We request that people respect our family's privacy at this time and will be making no further comment."
As of 2018, Natalie has maintained a low-key life. She is away from the limelight and probably busy with her personal and professional life.
There is also no news of her link-ups, so we can assume she is single.
