Jorge Arantes’ Biography & Career

Arantes was born in 1967, in Portugal. He was raised by his mother whose name has been given as Marilia Rodrigues. He has a sibling, a younger brother named, Justino.

He has been a good television journalist and columnist since he completed his education and started a career for himself. Everything would have been alright in his life but for his addiction to drugs which eventually cost him almost everything he worked for.

He was a very popular person in the media at the peak of his career. In his country Portugal and other countries of Europe, he was a sensation who was always seen on television anchoring programs and contributing to several shows. However, his drug issues cost him his employment and put him in unfavorable situations.

He was known to be the former husband of the famous writer and producer of Harry Potter, J.K Rowling. Not to forget, he was the first person to go through a Harry Potter book, and also helped his wife out on the plot as well.

He lost his touch in life when his drug problem became a threat to his life, work, and family. He lost his job after his addiction put him on a path of self-destruction, and the result of it all was that his wife and their only child left him. Where he has been since that time, and his profession through those years is something that is still a mystery.

Personal Life & Family

The television journalist used to be married in the past. He was a straight man who was happily married to the beautiful J.K. Rowling until they separated when his life completely became a mess due to his addiction to substances.

He met Rowling at a café in Portugal where the author worked as an English lecturer. They exchanged contacts, became familiar with each other, and started a relationship that ultimately led to marriage and the birth of their only child, a daughter named Jessica Arantes.

After their marriage, Jorge started to change before his wife and his colleagues, and his life started to take a negative twist. Due to his addiction problems, he lost his job, and also his wife and child as Rowling left the marriage through separation and moved back to the United Kingdom with their young daughter.

He was accused of domestic violence influenced by drug abuse, so the only logical thing was a divorce between him and his wife. He also had the self-destructive nature of stealing items from the home which he exchanged for drugs.

Since their divorce, no one knows if he has remarried or even has another relationship or children. His ex-wife, J.K. Rowling is an English author and producer behind the bestselling Harry Potter fantasy book series. She was born to Anne Volant Rowling and Peter James Rowling in Gloucestershire, England.

Her first novel titled ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ was followed by 6 more installments, which were all made into feature films. It was the success of her works that propelled her into prominence and also got her the massive fortune she currently has a claim to.

Jorge would have been a part of this empire since he was there from the start and also helped his former wife go through her first story. But his drug problems got the best of it and he lost out on everything.

After their marriage, their first child was miscarried but they tried once more and had their first and only child in 1993. In 1994, they divorced and Rowling moved back to the United Kingdom where she married a Scottish doctor named Neil Murray in 2001.
