The fantastic thing about the divorce was after the ink was dry on the divorce papers, Julie announced she was lesbian and got into a relationship with Melissa Etheridge.

Lou was also rumored to be in a relationship with Ginger Lynn. Ginger claimed she was intimate with Billy Idol, Lou, and George Clooney over the years. But the rumors didn't yield any new blooming romance for Lou.

Then the actor got into a serious relationship with actress Jennifer Tilly with whom he appeared in the movie 'Shadow of the Wolf' in 1992, and was also engaged to her for a while. Still, the relationship did not go far, with the two ending the engagement and going their separate ways.
