Julia Garner, Mark Foster Break Up After More Than 6 Years of Marriage
Sit next to E! as we tell you this: Julia Garner and Mark Foster have ended their time together as a couple.
The Ozark actress and the Foster the People frontman have separated after more than six years of marriage, E! News can confirm.
While Garner, 32, and Foster, 42, have yet to publicly address their split, they've since wiped photos of each other from their respective Instagram accounts.
E! News has reached out to reps for comment.
They first crossed paths while attending the Sundance Film Festival in 2013, but it wouldn’t be until nearly six years later that they began dating and truly fostering their connection.
“We realized that my grandmother lived in the same small town that his dad lives in, just outside of Cleveland,” the Our Time actress told Vogue in 2020, noting that though she lived in New York, she and Foster would see “each other in Cleveland at Christmas time, year after year” during her visits.
And after a 10-month courtship, the couple got engaged while on a trip to Montana.
“He read me a poem he had written to me,” she told the outlet of their May 2019 engagement, “and when he finished, he dropped to a knee and asked me to marry him.”
The pair wasted no time planning the finer details of their wedding, tying the knot in an intimate courthouse ceremony that December.
“We went back and forth from having a big wedding to eloping in Vegas,” Garner explained. “We ultimately decided to get married at City Hall in New York City, just like my parents did 40 years ago.”

But the declaration of love didn’t stop there, as the “Pumped Up Kicks” musician penned a song for their first dance called “Lovers in a Stream.”
“It was a surprise,” she shared of the ballad. “Mark wrote, produced, and sang it. It was very surreal, and the most beautiful present I’ve ever received. It felt like I was floating up in the air—it was the most magical moment I’ve ever had.”
And the magic would continue throughout that year, as Garner won her first Emmy for Ozark, leading her to shout Foster out in her acceptance speech, calling him “the love of my life.”
And he returned the praise, later reflecting on Garner’s “surreal” achievement.
"It took me time to process the last twenty-four hours and find a quiet moment of thought after an incredibly surreal weekend," he wrote in a since-deleted 2019 Instagram post. "I’m beyond proud of this girl. Congratulations you beautiful angel of a human. It brings me immeasurable joy to see you lifted up and recognized by your peers, your industry, and your fans."
Foster went on to note that his then-wife deserved “every bit of love and respect.”
“You’re so incredibly special," he added. "I consider myself the luckiest guy on the planet to be able to watch whatever you do from the front row, with a bag of popcorn and your hand wrapped in mine."
