'American Horror Story: Freak Show' Star Wes Bentley And Wife Jacqui Swedberg Welcome Second Child

Wes Bentley is now a father of two!

The 36-year-old actor, who recently appeared on "American Horror Story: Freak Show" as Edward Mordrake, welcomed his second child, a baby girl named Brooklyn, with wife Jacqui Swedberg this past June, his rep confirmed to Us Weekly, Monday, Nov. 3.

The "Hunger Games" star tied the knot with TV producer Swedberg in 2010, and welcomed their first child, Charles, born in late 2010, People reported.

The Jonesboro, Arkansas-born actor was previously married to actress Jennifer Quanz in 2001. But they separated in 2009 due to his substance abuse.

Bentley's descent into drug addiction started almost immediately after his success in Sam Mendes' 1999 Oscar-winning drama film "American Beauty," the New York Times reported. His portrayal of Ricky Fitts in the film earned him a National Board of Review Award for Best Male Breakthrough Performance, a Chicago Film Critics Association Awards for Most Promising Actor, and an Online Film & Television Association Film Award for Best Male Breakthrough Performance, not to mention several nominations from other award-giving bodies.

Bentley told New York Times in 2010 that he hid his addiction from his former wife Quanz, and moved to an apartment where he started doing drugs full-time. During that time, he worked sporadically, just enough to pay bills and buy drugs.

In 2008, the "Interstellar" actor was arrested and ordered into counseling and 12-step programs, according to the New York Times. However, he relapsed and  continued using heroin until he was broke. He again entered a 12-step program, and finally got sober in 2009.

Just last April, Bentley recalled his past struggle with heroin and cocaine in an interview with UK's Independent.

"I came to Hollywood and I got caught up in all the glitz and glamour of the nightlife," he said in reference to his longtime substance abuse. "All the stuff I had no idea about in Arkansas. In a way, it made me a little more prone to it. It was like looking behind the curtain. And I went behind the curtain and hung out."
