Where is Stephen Collins now? Networth, career after 7th Heaven explored

Stephen Collins, the discredited former star of the popular series 7th Heaven, is gaining increased media attention amid the premiere of Investigation Discovery’s docuseries, Hollywood Demons. The first episode of the docuseries, which aired on March 24, was centered around the alleged perpetration of instances of s*xual misconduct against underage children by Collins.

Collins’ acting career took a beating when an audio tape of the actor allegedly describing instances of inappropriate s*xual behavior with underage girls became public in 2014. The leaking of the tape was followed by a statement in which Collins admitted that it was him on the recording. The actor was forced to exit Hollywood in the wake of the public scandal.

Stephen Collins is now settled in his home state of Iowa, according to Fox News Digital.

As per a 2019 exclusive by Daily Mail, Collins was living in Fairfield with Jenny Nagel, a 7th Heaven “superfan” around 40 his junior. According to a certificate of marriage accessed by the news outlet, Collins and Nagel married in July 2019. The Daily Mail also noted that Collins spends his days visiting a transcendental meditation centre twice a day.

Stephen Collins' net worth

Stephen Collins’ net worth suffered in the wake of the scandal around the s*xual misconduct revelations. According to Celebrity Net Worth, while Collins was worth $14 million before the scandal broke out, the actor’s net worth plunged to $3 million after the knowledge of his alleged misconduct became public.

Matters associated with Collins’ wealth also came to light when the actor was finalizing his divorce with Faye Grant in 2014. At the time, he requested that the $13,000 spousal support be waived as he had “lost all earning power,” according to a report by People Magazine.

As per another report by the media outlet, Collins and his ex-wife owned two properties in California worth $2.85 million and $2.7 million, respectively, which they had listed. In divorce filings, Grant had also estimated that Collins’ monthly income was $44,000. This number was, however, from before the actor was ousted from his upcoming projects.

Stephen Collins’ career after 7th Heaven

After the long-running 7th Heaven ended in 2007, Stephen Collins, who played the character of Eric Camden, a protestant minister with 7 children, guest-starred in Law & Order SVU in 2008. He also played the role of ‘The Captain’ in Private Practice from 2009 to 2011 and was a part of No Ordinary Family, which aired for one season, according to ScreenRant.

As per the New York Post, Collins also had roles in series such as Devious Maids, Scandal, The Fosters and the cancelled Revolution. His last role was as Howard Stark in the animated series Avengers Assemble, per ScreenRant.

The recording of Collins’ admitting to mol*sting children impacted the actor’s career, who lost several roles. As per People Magazine, Collins was removed from his VoiceOver role in Ted 2, and the reruns of 7th Heaven were also pulled from television.

The end of Collins’ acting career followed the 2014 leak of a recording which featured the former actor describing instances of child mol*station. The recording was from a 2012 couple’s therapy session with his ex-wife, Grant, which was made without Collins’ knowledge, as per Fox News Digital.

In a statement shared by People Magazine in 2014, Collins addressed the recording, saying,

“Forty years ago, I did something terribly wrong that I deeply regret. I have been working to atone for it ever since…On the recording, I described events that took place 20, 32 and 40 years ago. ”

One of Collins’ alleged victims broke her silence about the abuse on Hollywood Demons, as per Fox News Digital. According to the Los Angeles Times, since the statute of limitations had passed, Collins was never prosecuted.
