Who is Rhea Seehorn’s partner’s first wife? What we know as Pluribus star brings Graham Larson’s son to Critics’ Choice Awards

Dressed in a custom-made Louis Vuitton black attire, Hollywood actress and filmmaker Rhea Seehorn walked the red carpet at the 31st annual Critics’ Choice Awards with Gray Larson, the son of her longtime partner Graham Larson and his ex-wife Mary Alice Haney. The photos of Seehorn, 53, and young Larson were published by Just Jared on Sunday night.

Mary Alice Haney is a podcaster, producer, entrepreneur, women’s rights activist, and costume designer. She has five children, including Gray.

For the unaware, Seehorn met Haney at an LA-based hair salon in 2013 and was later set up on a blind coffee date with Larson. However, the Pluribus actress had no clue that Graham was Mary’s ex-husband.

At this year’s Critics’ Choice Awards, Rhea Seehorn won the Best Actress in a Drama Series Award for her lead role as romance author Carol Sturka on Apple TV’s sci-fi thriller series, Pluribus.

The event was held at Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, California, on January 4 and was hosted by Chelsea Handler for the fourth consecutive year.

More about Mary Alice Haney amid Rhea Seehorn’s red carpet appearance with Gray

Mary Alice Haney met film producer and real estate agent Graham Larson in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2000. After four years of dating, they tied the knot in May 2005. However, their “terrible marriage” ended in a “happy divorce” in 2008.

At the time, the couple attended separation and custody-based therapy for a smooth transition for themselves and their two sons: Graham Franklin “Gray” Larson and Henry McClain Larson.

During a March 2017 interview with Marie Claire, Haney said:

“I always say we had the most amazing divorce, but a really terrible marriage. We weren't soul mates, and we both knew it. When you're young like we were, you just think marriage is supposed to be hard like that.”

In the same interview, Mar Alice credited Larson for the 2013 Net-A-Porter launch and the success of her eponymous and high-end ready-to-wear line. HANEY, which is now based in downtown Los Angeles, has an A-list clientele, including Reese Witherspoon, Taylor Swift, Chrissy Teigen, and Emily Ratajkowski.

“There is no way I could have done it without Graham. If you have a negative situation with an ex, you don't have the flexibility and the support system,” Rhea Seehorn’s close friend stated.

The brand is now available globally in retail outlets such as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Shopbop, FRWD and Nordstrom.

Besides being a Hollywood stylist, brand entrepreneur, and fashion designer, Mary Alice Haney is also the co-host of the SHE MD podcast with OBGYN, Dr Thais Aliabadi. It focuses on women’s physical health, mental and emotional well-being, and more.

Last year, the duo also co-founded Ovii.com, a website dedicated to PCOS. Its mission is to help women avoid this medical epidemic through early detection, education, and empowerment.

Before joining the entertainment and fashion industries, Mary Alice Haney served the media industry for years, including working as an editor for publications such as GQ, ALLURE, Marie Claire, and Domino Magazine. This saw her put her MFA degree (from American Film Institute) to good use.

Elsewhere, Graham Larson’s ex-wife was also featured on TODAY and Good Morning America and hosted television programs like Fox’s Ambush Makeover and Style Network’s Celebrity Closet Confidential.

Today, Mary Alice Haney lives in Los Angeles with her college friend, turned second husband is Tom Davidov (married in July 2012) and their three children.

In brief, about Rhea Seehorn’s friendship with Mary Alice Haney

During her Marie Claire interview, Mary Alice Haney recalled meeting Rhea Seehorn at the hair salon and quickly bonding over mutual interests.

“I was like, ‘I know this really awesome guy…’” Haney recalled when learning that Seehorn was single and planning to introduce her to her ex-husband.

After two years of dating when Graham Larson and Rhea Seehorn got engaged, and Haney even offered to “host their engagement party,” despite it sounding “a little weird.”

Later, the Better Call Saul actress also shared a similar story on X. She wrote:

“I told my hairdresser I’d like 2 start dating again, she said I should meet this other woman in the salon. I hit it off w her & was just happy making a new girlfriend. But she insisted on setting me up. I’m now engaged 2 him. It was her ex. She didn’t tell me.”

Now, Graham and Mary’s two sons have a close relationship with Rhea, to the point where one of them recently accompanied her to the red carpet. She even mentioned Gray and McClain in a January 2023 Instagram post, celebrating her anniversary with their dad.

“Thank goodness I said yes to a blind date 10 years ago today, set up by a woman I had only met 45 mins prior in a salon, who turned out to be his ex-wife. They had very young boys, who are now my sons, too. I love them all to pieces,” Rhea Seehorn wrote.

Before that, during her acceptance speech at the 2022 Hollywood Critics Association Television Awards, Rhea Seehorn thanked her “beloved fiancé” and “my beautiful sons, Gray and McClain.”

During her 2018 appearance on the Really Famous with Kara Mayer Robinson podcast, Seehorn, who doesn’t have biological kids but considers Graham’s two sons as her own, spoke about being a mother figure to them.

“My relationship with them and how close I am with them... is completely because of the permission of their parents and the way they co-parent,” she explained.

Graham Larson now works at Sotheby’s International Realty. Before that, he was the producer on The Last Samurai and the production assistant on Traffic and I Am Sam. He occasionally accompanies Rhea Seehorn to red carpet events, including the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards in January 2024.
