Who is Justine Bateman's husband, Mark Fluent?
Before Justine Bateman married her now-husband, Mark Fluent, in 2001, she had several relationships with fellow actors. Justine reportedly dated the likes of Leif Garrett, Richard Dean Anderson, Scott McGinnis, Robert J. Anderson, and Billy Idol.

How many kids does Justine Bateman have?
Justine and Mark share two children: Gianetta Fluent and Duke Fluent. Like many celebrity parents, Justine prefers to keep her children out of the spotlight, preferring to post about other things on her social media pages.
In addition to being a dedicated mother, Justine also enrolled at UCLA in 2013 and graduated with a degree in computer science and digital media management in 2016.

Justine is also a screenwriter and director and even wrote her feature film directorial debut, Violet, in 2021.
Ultimately, it sounds like Justine and her family are attempting to have as normal a family life as anyone with ties to Hollywood can pursue.
