However, it is reported that he is currently married to his wife, Kristina Petrova.
Louis Mandylor, his wife, and kids
It is reported that Mandylor has been married to Petrova for a long time. It is unknown when the two when they met, began dating, and tied the knot.
However, several tabloids have mentioned that they dated for a couple of years before their marriage. Similarly, their wedding ceremony was small and private, with only friends and followers of the couple attending their nuptial.
Mandylor has never mentioned his wife, nor has posted about her on his social media. Since he has kept his personal life private, there is no information about their kids.
It is unknown if they have any children. Many sources have reported that the couple does not have any kids.
However, on Facebook, Mandylor hinted that he might have a baby. On May 11, 2023, he posted a photo on the platform.
In the comments, one netizen wrote, “Great pic Luis keep up all the movies & congrads [sic] on baby!” While the actor did not reply to the comment, he liked it.

This might be a hint that he has a child, or two, with his wife. That being said, unless Mandylor confirms it, nothing can be said for sure.
This is basically all we know about the actor’s relationship, marriage, and kids. There have been no rumors of his split with Petrova, so it can be speculated that they are still together.
Louis Mandylor’s former marriages
Mandylor was married two times before his current relationship with Petrova. But just like his current marriage, the previous ones were also kept notoriously private.
It is reported that his first wife was Talisa Soto. Soto, born on March 27, 1967, is a former actress and model from the United States.
She is most recognized for her roles as Bond girl Lupe Lamora in the 1989 James Bond film Licence to Kill and Kitana in Mortal Kombat and its 1997 sequel Mortal Kombat Annihilation.
Soto formerly worked as a model, appearing in magazines such as Mademoiselle, Glamour, and Elle. It is unknown when Soto met Mandylor and when they got married.
Similarly, there is no information about their split and divorce. However, after her marriage ended with Mandylor, Soto married his brother, Costas, in 1997.
Unfortunately, their marriage ended in divorce in 2000. After Costas, Soto began dating actor Benjamin Bratt, and they married on April 13, 2002, in San Francisco.
They had met eight years before at a casting audition. They began to form a romantic relationship while filming Piero (2001). Their first child, daughter Sophia Rosalinda Bratt, was born on December 6, 2002, and their second child, boy Mateo Bravery Bratt, was born on October 3, 2005.
Mandylor’s second wife was also an actress named Anila Zaman. She was 12 years younger than Mandylor but it seems like the duo did not mind their age gap.
Like his marriage with Soto, there is no information about when the actor met Zaman or when the duo tied the knot. However, it seems like they were together in the 2000s.
This is because Mandylor took Zaman as his date for the premiere of My Big Fat Greek Wedding in April 2002. The couple were photographed at the Hollywood premiere of the movie at ArcLight Theatre in Hollywood, California, United States.
There is no information about Mandylor’s split and divorce from his second wife.
