The two were married from the year 2002 to 2017 and were parents to three daughters. As per Fox News, in their official statement, the Royal House of Norway said, "Ari was an important part of our family for many years, and we carry warm and good memories of him with us.” It was in the year 1999 that Ari published his first book ‘Sad as Hell,’ he then wrote several novels and plays.

In the month of December 2017, Ari Behn had accused Kevin Spacey of groping him under a table during 2007’s Nobel Peace Prize concert. As per BBC, he had narrated his alleged ordeal on radio station P4. “We had a great talk, he sat right beside me. After five minutes, he said, 'Hey, let's go out and have a cigarette.' Then he puts his hand under the table and grabs me by the balls," said Ari Behn. Spacey, however, denied all the allegations and never really responded. Reportedly, Behn never filed a lawsuit or criminal charges against Spacey.
