EXCLUSIVE: Ewan McGregor’s Ex-Wife Puts Their $6 Million Former Marital Mansion Up for Rent—5 Years After Bitter Divorce
Actor Ewan McGregor's ex-wife, Eve Mavrakis, has put their former marital mansion in Los Angeles on the rental market for $55,000 a month, five years after she was awarded the $6 million property in their bitter divorce.
"Moulin Rouge" star McGregor, 54, and production designer Mavrakis, 59, purchased the elegant California property for just under $2 million in 2002—seven years after they tied the knot—and the former couple is understood to have used the residence as their primary family home for many years.
However, in 2017, it was revealed that the duo had split after 22 years of marriage, with reports surfacing soon after that McGregor was in a relationship with his former co-star, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, to whom he is now married.
The actor officially filed for divorce in January 2018, citing irreconcilable differences, a move his former spouse blasted as "disappointing and upsetting" in an interview with The Sun on Sunday.
Following a somewhat acrimonious three-year battle between the estranged spouses, that divorce was finalized in 2020, with court documents revealing at the time that McGregor had agreed to give Mavrakis half of all the residuals and royalties that he earned during their relationship.



This agreement included all payments from movies like "Moulin Rouge" and "Star Wars," which were released while the former couple was still together.
He also agreed to pay his former spouse just under $36,000 a month in spousal support, as well as $14,934 a month in child support for the three kids they share.
Mavrakis was also awarded a collection of five cars—although McGregor kept 30 vehicles—as well as the Los Angeles home where they raised their three children, Clara, Jamyan, and Esther.
Located in Brentwood, the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion has undergone what the listing describes as an "extensive" restoration and remodeling in recent years, all of which was conceived by Mavrakis.
"Done by current owner with great taste, quality, and sensitivity to the magnificent original architecture with breathtaking gardens, lovely courtyard entry with outdoor fireplace, expansive flat yard, great privacy, and exquisite detailing throughout," the description continues.
Inside the home, visitors will find several elegant living spaces, including a formal living room, a family room, a cook's kitchen, and a formal dining room.
The kitchen boasts ample space for entertaining, with a large dining table occupying the center of the room in lieu of a traditional island, while three large windows help to flood the space with natural light.




Should the home's residents seek a more intimate dining experience, however, the moody formal space serves as the perfect place, with dark charcoal walls and eclectic artwork helping to give the room a much more intriguing allure.
Many of these spaces open up to the outdoor area via French doors, with several leading to elegant covered patios that provide the perfect place for outdoor entertaining.
The second level of the home houses the five bedrooms, all of which have their own en-suite bathrooms—however the "fantastic primary suite" also comes complete with an array of other very luxurious features, including a private fireplace and two "furniture-grade closets."
Having been built in 1930, the home still retains many of its original design features, including "thick plaster walls, beamed ceilings, hand painted tiles, original hardware and fixtures, ironwork, stained glass, paneled doors, and hardwood and Saltillo tiled floors."
Per the listing, the property is currently available to tour—and it can be rented from early April.
Records show that the home was originally put on the rental market in September 2025 for the same asking price, however that listing was taken down less than a month later. It's unclear whether the property was ever leased during that time.
What the listing fails to mention is the home's proximity to another very famous abode—the house where Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe died in 1962.




That dwelling, which was the only home Monroe ever owned, sits directly adjacent to Mavrakis' property, and was recently the subject of a bitter lawsuit filed by its current owners against the city of Los Angeles and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass after they were banned from tearing it down.
Roy Bank and his wife, Brinah Milstein, purchased Monroe's former home in 2023 for $8.35 million, records show, and almost immediately filed permits to demolish the iconic abode, according to the New York Post.
However, those plans were derailed in 2024, when the L.A. City Council voted to save the property while designating it as a historical cultural monument—thereby preventing any future attempts to dramatically alter or raze it.
In response, Bank and Milstein filed a lawsuit with the Central District Court of California in January in which they accuse the city and Bass of "unconstitutionally taking" their home—claiming that the property no longer holds any connection to Monroe or her career.
"Not a trace of Ms. Monroe’s short tenure at the house remains at the property or in the house—and the house has been substantially altered by successive owners over more than 60 years," the lawsuit, which was obtained by People, states.
Furthermore, they say that the city's decision to designate their dwelling as a landmark has turned it into a tourist hot spot—while also making it a target for would-be burglars.
They are requesting that the court force the city to pay them back the $30,000 they say they spent securing the appropriate permits for demolition and grading, or compensate them for their purchase of the home.
