American filmmaker Riley Stearns is well known for his films “The Cub” and “The Faults,” among others. His contentious and highly public divorce from his longterm partner, actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead, has also made headlines. Although Riley’s divorce from Mary may have cast a bad light on his life, it has also helped him gain popularity among those who are not familiar with his work. Throughout his career, he has been nominated for numerous honors, including best script at the BloodGuts UK Horror Awards and best short film at the Sundance Film Festival. Nevertheless, despite his best efforts to shield the media from his private life, the contentious details of his divorce from Mary Elizabeth Winstead drew a lot of attention from the general public. As a result, it put a tremendous amount of stress on his mental capabilities. Riley has been able to pick up the pieces and rebuild his life because of his experience in Jiu-Jitsu and positive outlook on life.

Work & Fame of Riley Stearns

Riley Stearns’ natural skill was evident from his first appearance as a production assistant in the 2007 television episode “The List” of the series “Bionic Woman.” He assisted writers on nine episodes of the television show “My Own Worst Enemy” in 2008. He was eventually offered the opportunity to write the script for the episode “Surveillance” once his abilities were noticed.

The new writer quickly joined the staff of the drama-fantasy TV show “Tower Prep” (2010) thanks to the experiences he had obtained. Riley Stearns, who has always aspired to be an independent writer and director, created and oversaw the production of his first brief drama, “Magnificat,” in 2011. In the short horror movie, Stephen Tobolowsky and his wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead portrayed a young woman who is plagued by terrible visions that manifest in the actual world. After more people learned that he was married to well-known actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead, he also began to become more well-known.

He co-wrote and directed the comedic short “Casque” in 2012. The Cub, Riley Stearns’ 2013 directorial debut, gave him his first professional high. A couple sends their daughter to be reared by wolves in the humorous short, which Riley also wrote. It received positive reviews and earned him his first nomination for the 2013 Sundance Film Festival’s “Short Film Grand Jury Prize.”

2014 saw Stearns continue to rise thanks to his debut feature-length film, “Faults.” He wrote and directed the comedy-crime movie. Leland Orser, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Chris Ellis were among the actors who appeared in it. 2014 saw “Faults” get three nominations and go on to become the director’s most lucrative film to date. It received nominations for the SXSW Audience Award, the AFI Fest Audience Award, the BloodGuts UK Horror Awards Best Screenplay Award, and the AFI Fest Audience Award.

Riley continues to work on amazing projects like “The Art of Self Defense” and “Dual” in 2017 and after his highly publicized divorce from Mary.

Relationship & Dispute of Riley Stearns

In 2010, Riley Stearns wed Mary Elizabeth Winstead, his lifelong companion. Early in 2017, rumors surfaced suggesting that the pair was having issues and was no longer living together. When Mary was photographed with her ‘Fargo’ co-star Ewan McGregor, who was divorcing his marriage of 22 years, Eve Mavrakis, the rumors became fact.

Riley and Eve were taken aback by the news because neither of them had yet finalized their divorce from their respective relationships. Riley was frequently observed posting cruel and offensive content to his Instagram. The media focused on one post in particular where Riley appeared to be threatening Ewan by asking, “Call me a cuc* will ya? Make fun of me, please. Will you please f*** the woman of my dreams behind my back? You’re f*** dead, dude. Riley was not the author of the deleted post, which was apparently the product of online trolls.

In May 2017, Riley and Mary formally declared their divorce on Instagram. “Sitting here with my best friend, whom I love with all of my heart,” Mary wrote. We’ve made the decision to end our marriage. Riley responded by writing, “I’m excited to see where we both go. You have my undying affection, Mary.
