Personal Life
At fifteen Furlong took up with his 29-year-old former tutor, Jacqueline Domac, who became his manager for several years.
Furlong married Rachael Bella on April 19, 2006. The couple's son, Ethan Page Furlong, was born on September 21, 2006. On July 8, 2009, Rachael Bella filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. In October 2010, Bella received a restraining order from a court, against Furlong. She claimed he threatened to commit suicide, repeatedly refused to undergo any drug tests, and that he told her he hit their son's testicles. He was also ordered by the court to undergo counselling. She told the court he regularly drove past her house in an intimidating manner, and threatened to hire people to beat her with metal chains and baseball bats. In January 2011 Furlong told a judge he is "completely broke", and cannot afford to pay child support. Furlong was ordered to pay Bella over $15,000 in backdated child support in October 2011.
