Biography

In the early 1990s, D'Onofrio was in a relationship with actress Greta Scacchi, with whom he starred in several films during that period (including The Player and Fires Within). The couple had one daughter, Leila (born 1992).

On March 22, 1997, D'Onofrio married Dutch model Carin van der Donk, and the couple had a son, Elias Gene (born December 1999). The couple split in the early 2000s, but reconciled and had a second son, Luka (born February 14, 2008).

During an interview in January 2012, D'Onofrio discussed his frustration with conflicting reports on his current marital status, including inaccuracies on Internet Movie Database. He has stated that, despite some reports, he is currently married. He and his family reside in a townhouse in the Gramercy Park neighborhood of Manhattan.

On November 10, 2004, D'Onofrio collapsed on the set of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. He collapsed again at home a few days later, and after further testing was diagnosed with exhaustion. The reasons for his exhaustion were explained later as his 14-hour days filming Law and Order, coupled with the filming of his short film Five Minutes, Mr. Welles during his hiatus.
