Family lies at the core of Christmas, and Ewan McGregor exemplifies this sentiment by celebrating the holiday season with his wife, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, alongside his ex-wife, Eve Mavrakis, and their four daughters.
In a heartwarming Instagram tribute posted by his daughter Clara, the Star Wars actor is captured engaging in kitchen antics with his eldest daughter, creating a wholesome and festive atmosphere.
This Christmas was a bustling affair as Ewan devoted time to all five of his children, his current wife, and his ex-wife. The 27-year-old Clara, who is both an actress and film producer, predominantly shared pictures featuring herself alongside her sisters Esther, Jamyan, and Anouk. However, in a rare glimpse of family unity, Ewan’s wife, Mary Elizabeth, renowned for her role in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, was photographed with the four girls, her sons Louis and Eve.

While Ewan was not visible in this large family gathering, it is presumed that he played the role of photographer in capturing this joyful moment. All six women wore smiles, and the youngest, two-year-old Louis, sat happily on Anouk’s lap.
It appears that the family has successfully moved beyond the challenges of separation and divorce. Clara expressed this transformation by posting a photo of the Grinch with the caption “Help me… I’m feeling,” symbolizing the warming of her heart during the Christmas season.
Ewan and Eve officially separated in May 2017, coinciding with the actor’s apparent relationship with Mary Elizabeth, whom he met on the set of Fargo. The divorce, filed on the grounds of irreconcilable differences, took an emotional toll on the family. Eve remarked that their divorce was “disappointing and upsetting,” but her primary concern was the well-being of their four children.
During that challenging time, Clara publicly criticized Mary Elizabeth on social media, but she has since acknowledged that her reaction was not the most mature, attributing it to anger and distress.
Eve and Ewan’s divorce was finalized in August 2020. A year later, Mary Elizabeth gave birth to Ewan’s first son, Louis, and the couple tied the knot in 2022.
Recently, Mary Elizabeth joined the Star Wars franchise, portraying Hera Syndulla in Ahsoka. Ewan McGregor expressed his excitement for her new role in the iconic series.
