The two began an affair the night they met,[3] despite both being married. Upon his subsequent divorce from Eustace, McDermott was granted joint custody of their son Jack, but he opted not to move forward with the adoption of a baby girl, Lola, whom he and Eustace were in the process of adopting prior to their separation.[4]

On July 1, 2010, McDermott was involved in a dirt bike accident, his second motorcycle accident of the year. He was hospitalized in Los Angeles with a punctured and collapsed lung, and doctors said they expected him to make a full recovery.[10] McDermott was released from the hospital on July 6, 2010.[11]
McDermott became an American citizen at a ceremony in Los Angeles on August 21, 2010.[12]
On January 23, 2014, McDermott's publicist announced that he had entered rehab for "some health and personal issues."
