Susan Devlin has been married to Canadian actor Bruce Greenwood since 1985. Apart from this one confirmed piece of information, virtually all other information regarding her, whether it be her age, profession, offspring, and even net worth, is unverified or directly disputed by many sources.
This one sentence alone will give you something that no other part of the internet will tell you; it’s about privacy, not biography.
The one thing that everybody agrees on
When the love bugs began. “We met as teens!” she giggled as she shared the origin story of her sweet romance. Their first year as a couple dating in or around 1971 would put the two both at around 15 years old. The website IMDb’s biography states “Greenwood has known his wife since the early 1970s.”. They wed in 1985. Multiple independent sources — IMDb, Wikipedia, Tribute.ca — converge on that date without contradiction, which in this particular corner of the internet counts as a small miracle.
Greenwood himself has spoken, sparingly, about the marriage’s longevity. Asked what has made his marriage work for so long, he has said that “One reason my marriage works well is that I never talk about it much.” Amomama
And that is the thesis statement for all other things in this paper.
So how old is she, actually?
Here’s where it gets absurd. One site puts her birth year at 1931, which would make her older than 90 today — and married at 15. Another guesses “the 1950s.” A third fabricates an entirely different person, giving her a 1985 birthdate in an unnamed Midwestern town — a date that would make her younger than her own marriage.
None of these numbers trace back to a credible source. [YOUR EXAMPLE: if you have access to a verified public record — marriage license, court filing, an interview where Devlin or Greenwood states her age — this is the spot to drop it in]. Without that information, the simple truth is that she is not verified to be of any particular age, and whatever figure you may have come across elsewhere is simply conjecture.
Children: one, not two, not zero
This is the closest thing to a resolvable discrepancy. IMDb states the couple has one child. Tribute.ca goes a step further, specifying a daughter. That’s two separate, reasonably credible sources landing on the same number.
Set against that: one gossip aggregator claims they have no children “or pets,” and another claims two. Neither offers a source. When two independent listings agree and two SEO pages disagree with no citation between them, the two listings win. So: one daughter, most likely — details on her name, age, or profession aren’t publicly documented, and that’s worth saying plainly rather than inventing a background for her.
Did she have an acting career?
Probably not the one you’ve read about.
Several “biography” pages describe Devlin as an actress, director, or producer with her own credits. Search the name and you will find actresses called Susan Devlin — one associated with the 1960 film The Starlets, another who appeared as a guest on the panel show I’ve Got a Secret. Neither has any documented connection to Bruce Greenwood. It looks like a case of name-matching gone wrong: pull up “Susan Devlin” on a film database, find a credit, staple it to the wrong woman, publish.
If Devlin has a career of her own — in or outside entertainment — it hasn’t been documented in any source I could verify. [YOUR EXAMPLE: an interview, a local news mention, or a professional bio if she has a public-facing job would go here]
The privacy, and why it’s held
Greenwood has built a decades-long career playing U.S. presidents, ship captains, and one very memorable sniffing serial killer, and he’s done almost all of it while keeping his marriage entirely off the record. Photographs of the two together exist mainly from red-carpet arrivals — premieres for Thirteen Days, Rules of Engagement, Déjà Vu, the Star Trek Blu-ray release. Besides accompanying him to events and the like, Devlin did not make interview, or maintain a personal social network, under her own name or engage with the profile items about her.
That is no coincidence. A marriage that started at 15 and has survived four decades in an industry with a well-documented churn rate probably isn’t surviving because one half of it became a subject of tabloid speculation. It’s surviving because Greenwood, by his own account, doesn’t talk about it — and Devlin, by her own choice, doesn’t either.
Net worth: not a real number
You’ll find dollar figures attached to Devlin’s name online, occasionally attributed to her directly and occasionally as “combined with Bruce Greenwood’s $10 million.” There’s no disclosed source for any of it — no filing, no interview, no estimate methodology. Treat any specific net worth figure attached to Susan Devlin as fiction. If you want a number for Bruce Greenwood’s own finances, that’s a separate question with its own (still imperfect) sourcing trail — worth its own fact-check rather than folding into hers.
The actual takeaway
If you came here for a tidy timeline — birthplace, school, first job, breakout role — that page doesn’t exist yet, because the person it would be about has spent 40 years making sure it couldn’t. The things that are verified are few: married in 1985, together from their teens, one daughter, and a husband whose entire career revolves around saying very little about all of it.
So the next time you find yourself clicking on some ‘who is [name of celebrity spouse]’ type of page with an alarmingly precise birthday and an incredibly terse bio, which, really, amounts to little more than the horoscope equivalent of a celebrity spouse entry, the only prudent thing to do is check it for references. In Devlin’s case, near enough nobody has.

(FAQs)
1. How old is Susan Devlin?
Not publicly confirmed. You’ll see wildly different guesses online — 1931, “the 1950s,” even 1985 — but none trace back to a credible source, and several are contradicted by the basic timeline of her own marriage. Treat any specific age you read elsewhere as unverified.
2. Who is Susan Devlin married to?
Canadian actor Bruce Greenwood, known for Thirteen Days, Star Trek (2009), and The Resident. They’ve been married since 1985 and reportedly met as teenagers around 1971.
3. Does Susan Devlin have children?
Most likely one — IMDb and Tribute.ca both indicate a single child, with Tribute.ca specifying a daughter. Other sites claim two children or none, but neither claim is sourced, so the “one daughter” version is the more credible read.
4. What is Susan Devlin’s career?
Not publicly documented. Several articles describe her as an actress, director, or producer, but that appears to come from confusing her with unrelated people who share her name — there’s a separate Susan Devlin tied to the 1960 film The Starlets, for instance. No verified acting or industry credits connect back to Bruce Greenwood’s wife specifically.
5. What is Susan Devlin’s net worth?
No credible, sourced figure exists. Numbers attached to her name online appear to be invented or borrowed from unrelated estimates of Greenwood’s own finances. If you need a real number, that’s a separate research question with its own sourcing, not one to fold into hers.
