I projected disastrous futures for Renée and me in that eventuality: the inevitable divorce, Renée moving back to Denmark, the kid raised in Denmark-because I obviously couldn’t raise a kid-where he would speak Danish as his principal language."

They both split up because they wanted different things. Renée had been ready to have a baby. She was broody. She had covered the fridge door with children’s names while John was not ready to settle yet. All he could think about was how to get his band back on top. So John let Renee go because they were not on the same page anymore.

@@popsycali It was never admitted that she went for rehab and also she never admitted that she was doing drugs. However in the past Renee talked many times about her parents insisting on her to be careful and go back giving her interventions about what happened to other people like Marilyn Monroe, etc. There was no reason for those interventions unless she was also doing drugs. Before splitting, they had come to Greece for holidays, in Symi and some other islands, and it was spread all around how “wild” they were during those holidays. Before breaking up Renee gave up everything and went to live in a Kibbutz with her sister for like 3 months or even more, where people live an agricultural life and work on the land. Imagine being a supermodel and suddenly feeling the need to go and start producing tomatoes and potatoes, lol! It was rehabilitation, many people actually even today go to a kibbutz in Israel to get a rehabilitation from alcohol and/or drugs. After that Renee decided to go back to school and give up modelling and went back in Paris (they were living in Paris mostly in 1989) but apparently John didn’t want to give up his drugs and wild life and they ended their relationship and Renee decided to go back to her country and continue her studies there. She then got involved with the father of her two first children, who apparently was also living a “wild life” (in one interview she said that after John she felt in love with another man who had also large hair and was living a wild life, meaning drugs) but eventually they broke up and then she got involved with Thomas with whom she’s still married and she gave birth to also another child with him.
