The pretty actress has not only had a successful career but a successful marriage too. She is happily married and their marriage has lasted for about 7 years while the couple have been together for about 19 years.
But before his marriage to Charlotte Emmerson, Iain Glen was previously married to actress Susannah Harker. They both got married in 1993, and their union was blessed with a son named Finley Glen. After eleven years of marriage, the couple divorced in 2004. Although Emmerson is not Glen’s first wife, their relationship has lasted longer than his former marriage.

Charlotte Emmerson’s Brain Hemorrhage and How It Affected Her Family
While Iain Glen was on set for “Battle of Winterfell”, the third episode of season eight of Game of Thrones, his wife was rehearsing for her play on the same night. He had called to tell her to ‘break a leg’, but he didn’t get any response, so he left her a message. He later got a message from her saying that she had suffered a brain hemorrhage and was in the hospital.
Glen’s colleagues asked him to leave immediately to go and see his wife. One of those who made the suggestion was Emilia Clarke (the lady whose character he was in love with). Emilia had suffered brain aneurysms twice while shooting ‘GOT’ in 2011 and 2013.
The actor left to be with his wife for two weeks until she fully recovered. He then came back on set and filmed his last scene in the movie. His character, Ser Jorah Mormont, died in the arms of Daenerys Targaryen. Glen thought this was the best ending for his character.
