Michael Shannon married photographer Christy Bush years after quietly divorcing his first wife, Kate Arrington, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
The actor, 52, and Bush, 55, tied the knot in Athens, Georgia, earlier this month after obtaining a marriage license on July 27, we can confirm.
The license has been returned to county court and is awaiting a judge’s signature.
We’re told the wedding took place in Bush’s hometown and that “famous friends and industry people” attended.
Reps for the pair did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
It’s unclear when the “Shape of Water” star and the “Familiar: 30 Years of Photographs” creator began dating or even got engaged; however, the duo has been photographed attending public functions together.
They visited the Pasaquan art compound near Buena Vista, Georgia, in October 2025 and then stepped out for the Hermès autumn/winter 2026 men’s runway show during Paris Fashion Week in January.
This marks the second marriage for both.
The last time Shannon was snapped with ex-wife Arrington — with whom he shares two daughters — was in November 2024.
He and the actress, 51, began dating in 2002 after first meeting through the Chicago theater scene. They welcomed Sylvia “Sylvie” in 2008 and Marion “Mae” in 2014.
The former couple said “I do” in New York in 2017 before quietly divorcing in 2022, Page Six can confirm.
As for Bush, she was previously married to Interpol drummer Sam Fogarino, 58. Their daughter, Francesca “Frankie,” was born in 2009.
