Who is Julie Powell’s husband Eric?
Eric Powell and Julie first became acquainted when they both played the love leads in high school play ‘All My Sons.’
In 1998, the duo got married, however, problems arose between them when later it was revealed that Julie’s having an extramarital affair.
In her 2009 book, ‘Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession,’ she explained her marriage life with Eric.
In her book, along with her marriage life, Julie has also written the detailed story and facts about her extramarital affair.
Although she hasn’t mentioned the name of that individual but she has denoted him as D. She also revealed about her husband’s simultaneous affair which started soon enough after he learned that his wife is dating someone.
As per her book, when Eric realized about Julie’s affair, he also came to learn that Julie isn’t ready to stop, and she wanted to stay married as well as he also didn’t want to leave her.
After the book was released in 2009, the pair withdrew from public attention and started keeping their personal life and relationship more and more secret.
Back in 2011, while in conversation with The Morning Call, Julie accepted that she and her husband made a deal to drop the curtains on their life.
As she said, “Eric and I made a deal. I agreed to drop the curtain on our lives to a degree, so it didn’t seem like we were living in a fishbowl.”
After learning about them, many people became interested in their relationship as Julie claimed in an interview with The Mercury News.
