As per the BBC, Madsen divorced his wife of 28 years, DeAnna, in 2024, over the death of their son Hudson, according to People magazine. "My brother Michael has left the stage," Virginia wrote in a statement to Variety. "He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother – etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark."
