At the time they first crossed paths with each other, Bentley had visited Swedberg’s country to shoot the movie Dolan’s Cadillac.
Their paths crossed at the time because Swedberg herself who is a producer and director was also on the set of the movie. The 41 year-old evidently took a liking to Bentley same as he did with her and they started dating soon after, but endeavored to keep things under wraps until after his divorce in 2009. They got married the very next year in 2010 in a private ceremony with very few friends and family in attendance.

Is Wes Bentley Gay?
Going by the fact that he has been married twice and all to women, plus the fact that he is still currently married to one, it is safe to say that Wes Bentley is not gay.

Well, it started in a 2016 interview with The Advocate where Wes revealed that he has had relationships with both men and women and is not sure what sexuality he identifies best with. He insisted that he does not feel the need to label himself and would rather just be happy.
His fans ran with his talk and came to their own conclusion that he might be swinging the other way just plain bisexual which is the most likely explanation. The rumors notwithstanding, he has stuck to his guns and stayed mute on the matter.
