Stephen Weaver Collins is an American actor, writer, and musician, best known for his roles in the television series 7th Heaven and the film Star Trek: The Motion Picture, in which he portrayed Captain Will Decker.
Collins married Marjorie Weinman in 1970. The couple divorced in 1978 after nine years of marriage. In 1985, he married his second wife, actress Faye Grant. They have one daughter together. Their marriage lasted until 2012, when they announced their separation. At the time, they stated their intent to handle the separation “in a manner that reflects the respect they have always had for one another.”
Following the announcement of the separation, Grant expressed surprise over Collins's sudden decision to file for divorce. She publicly remarked that she had been emotionally drained by their 27-year marriage and wished him well moving forward. In legal filings, Grant sought spousal support and claimed that Collins earned between $1 million and $3 million per year during their marriage. She stated that she had given up her acting career to raise their daughter and thus requested a share of his income and assets, including half of what was reported to be a $6 million account and property in California.
Although various figures and claims about Collins’s net worth—estimated around $10 million—have circulated, no official details regarding the financial terms of the divorce settlement have been made public. Media speculation about the couple’s financial disagreements followed Grant’s legal actions approximately six months after the initial separation announcement.
Throughout and following the separation, rumors surfaced regarding Collins’s alleged extramarital relationships. Reports occasionally mentioned individuals such as actress Terri Garber, suggesting a prior relationship either during or shortly before his first separation from Weinman. Additionally, speculation arose over possible involvement with a family babysitter and a woman identified as Mary Walker, although the latter was later confirmed to be a case of mistaken identity. Collins has not publicly responded to any of these claims, and there has been no official confirmation of infidelity.
Faye Grant has remained largely private about the reasons behind their divorce and has not discussed specific details of her relationship with Collins. She has not been publicly linked to any subsequent relationships and has declined to comment on questions about her personal life in the media.
