Walton Goggins has been married twice.

In 2001, Walton Goggins married his first wife, Leanne Goggins (née Kaun), a Canadian who ran a dog-walking business in Laurel Canyon, Cali. Although the couple had become estranged, they remained married until Leanne's tragic death on Nov. 12, 2004.

"I drifted for upwards of three years after that," he said. "It took me a really long time to come back from it. If it weren’t for the people in my life that cared about me, that stepped in and helped me understand that life goes on, I don't know what would have happened."

Walton has frequently expressed his admiration for Nadia, especially her wisdom. In a 2011 interview with Military.com, he shared how much he values her perspective.

"I would absolutely agree with that statement that to be in a relationship with someone who has something profound to say about everything, that's a real gift to have that in your union," he said. "I do believe, ironically, that love is the great releaser."

Nearly every Father's Day, Walton shares a heartfelt tribute to his son. For the 2024 holiday, he reflected on the deep impact fatherhood has had on his life.

"This one's mine… being a father has taught me more about being a man than anything else that has happened in my life. I love you little man," he wrote alongside a series of photos of the two over the years. "We make mistakes for sure but always on the way to trying to get it right. Happy Father’s Day to all you men out there that put in the work everyday. There is no greater privilege."
