Who is Jesse Eisenberg’s wife, Anna Strout? She and The Social Network star share Polish heritage and have been granted citizenship – she’s also building on her family’s legacy of philanthropy
The pair dated for a decade after meeting on the set of The Emperor’s Club in 2001, but took a break from 2013 to 2015; they reconciled in 2016, then welcomed a son and married in 2017
The Social Network star Jesse Eisenberg is gearing up for a busy year.
Perhaps more important, Eisenberg, 41, is of Polish heritage and revealed last year that he’d applied for – and has now been granted – Polish citizenship. As reported by Variety, he also noted that A Real Pain was shot on location in parts of Poland to which he has a family connection, such as Lublin, Warsaw and Krasnystaw. He shares this Polish connection with his wife, Anna Strout, whose family is originally from Łódź and who also applied for Polish citizenship.
But Strout isn’t just Eisenberg’s other half. The activist is a force of nature in her own right, rallying support for survivors of domestic violence and channelling her mother’s legacy of advocacy.
Here’s what we know about the behind-the-scenes star.
What does Anna Strout do?
Strout has worked in Hollywood as a producer and crew member on films such as Don’t Say a Word (2001) and The Emperor’s Club (2002). But according to IMDB, her last movie project was in 2011.
More recently, Strout has been engaged in philanthropy and activism. She spends a great deal of time volunteering at and organising fundraisers for Middle Way House. Located in Bloomington, Indiana – Strout’s hometown – the institution is a shelter for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking.
Anna’s mother, Toby Susan Strout, was an executive director of Middle Way House and would take Anna to marches, rallies, community meetings and city hall press conferences, where she could become involved in advocacy first-hand.
