McDonough has been married to South African model Ruvé Robertson since 2003 and they have five children together. He didn’t name the show he was allegedly fired from, but back in 2019, he told Closer Weekly that he lost his job on the ABC drama series “Scoundrels” in 2010 because of his no-sex-scene rule.

The actor revealed how his principled stance against on-screen intimacy nearly destroyed his career and identity.

Neal McDonough, who has a strict rule about kissing his onscreen costars, claims Hollywood "turned" on him for the conservative stance.
