Mickey Rourke’s first wife Debra Feuer was spotted out and about in Los Angeles on Thursday, for the first time in decades.
The actress, 66, who is best known for starring in big eighties movies such as To Live and Die in L.A, Homeboy, and Miami Vice, was married to the Hollywood actor, 72, for eight years between 1981 and 1989.
It comes amid Mickey’s ongoing stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house, in which he has controversially already reduced JoJo Siwa to tears with homophobic slurs, fat-shamed Donna Preston and insulted EastEnders icon Patsy Palmer’s cooking skills.
But worlds away from the drama, Debra stepped out to run errands go shopping in LA, as she slipped into a sheer black long-sleeved top and flared leggings.
She opted for comfort by donning sandals and carried around a blue tote bag as well as her phone in hand for the outing.
Debra seemed to be in high spirits as she jumped in her car and later threw on a striped quarterzip top and a pair of glᴀsses.

Earlier in the day, she was seen wearing blue sports trainers and a white hat as she went on a jog in the sunshine.
Mickey has been married twice – having married actress Debra in 1981 before divorcing in 1989 and wedding model Carré Otis in 1992, who he then split from in 1998.
He met Debra on the set of TV movie Hardcase and later co-starred with her in 1988’s Homeboy – in which she played his love interest.
The marriage ended in 1989, after which he revealed that while filming erotic drama 9½ Weeks in 1986 he ‘was not particularly considerate to my wife’s needs.’ He starred alongside Kim Basinger in the steamy film.
Despite the split, the former couple have remained good friends, according to an interview Debra gave in 2009.
The actress later married cameraman Scott Fuller and they have a daughter called Jessica Ruby, now 27, and is reportedly currently a yoga teacher after stepping away from the limelight.
At the moment, Mickey is causing chaos in the Celebrity Big Brother house after he sparked furore with his homophobic comments towards JoJo Siwa.
On Wednesday, fans of the ITV show demanded ‘vile’ Mickey, be removed from the house after he branded lesbian dancer JoJo, 21, a ‘f*g’ before going on to insult other female housemates in a ‘misogynistic’ tirade.
Now in a move set to cause fresh upset to his housemates, Mickey has broken the rules by refusing to put forward his nominations for the first eviction.

Independent watchdog Ofcom has come under pressure to intervene with the ITV show after Mickey was issued a formal warning from Big Brother.
Viewers claimed show bosses should have gone a step further and removed him from the house – calling on Ofcom to immediately step in.
When Ofcom receives complaints it is ᴀssessed under the Broadcasting Code to see if it needs further investigation.
Meanwhile, JoJo’s partner Kath Ebbs branded Mickey a ‘pig’ and a ‘dangerous person’.
Kath, who identifies as non-binary and uses she/they pronouns, shared her outrage on Instagram following the episode and demanded Mickey is booted out of the show.
While she praised and thanked Chris for ‘backing’ her partner, she shared her outrage that he was the ‘only person’ in the house that was aired to pull Mickey up on his behaviour.
She said: ‘A lot of people want to know my thoughts on Mickey Rourke, or however the f*** you say his last name, on his comments towards my partner JoJo on Big Brother and quite frankly it is beyond disgusting and it’s literally taken me many hours to even process what the f*** I just watched.
‘Not only because that is the literal love of my life and I want to protect her at all costs and I feel so helpless that I cannot be there to not only comfort her but to also lose it at that f****** weasel of a man but secondly take the fact out that I have mᴀssive emotional stakes in the comments towards her.’
During Wednesday’s episode, which had a peak of 1.74 million viewers, Mickey left JoJo in tears after he insinuated he would be able to ‘make her straight’ during their time in the house.
Discussing her Sєxuality, Mickey asked the influencer: ‘Do you like girls or boys?’ to which she replied: ‘Me? Girls. My partner is non-binary.’

Doubling down on his claims he would be able to change her Sєxuality, Mickey then insists: ‘If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.’
JoJo then replied: ‘I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.’
Later in the garden, Mickey asked Chris Hughes if everyone had to vote one another out of the house, with the Wrestler star stating: ‘I’m going to vote the lesbian out real quick.’
JoJo overheard and hit back: ‘That’s homophobic, if that was your reasoning’, as Chris defended her by interjecting: ‘You can’t do that Mickey’.
Undeterred, Mickey continued: ‘I need a fag’ before gesturing to JoJo and adding: ‘I’m not talking to you.’
Chris once again hits back saying, ‘Mickey, you can’t say that’, to which he replied: ‘I know. I was talking about a cigarette.’
While JoJo was left visibly upset by the exchanged as Chris comforted her, Mickey was then called to the Diary Room and issued a warning.
Later in the episode, Mickey caused further offence when he ‘fat shamed’ actress Donna Preston and insult EastEnders icon Patsy Palmer’s cooking skills – with many noting how his offensive comments only seemed to be aimed at the women in the house.
Sitting in the bedroom Donna was using an LED mask which she said was to ‘sort out her neck wrinkles’.

Mickey then interjected to ask if it was working and she replied saying she ‘couldn’t see the results yet’.
This led Mickey to inappropriately reply: ‘Maybe you should just run around the block instead for 10 minutes.’
Donna then said: ‘Yeah I am getting a little turkey neck…’, to which Mickey added: ‘Comes with the territory… it’s like what they say ‘you are what you eat’.’
Patsy then interjected to kindly remind the room that Donna ‘eats really healthy now…’
She later laughed about the moment as she told Ella Rae Wise and Danny Beard what he’s said as Danny then joked: ‘I’ve seen a French Bulldog with a better f***ing body’.
The subject of food was brought up again when Mickey insulted Patsy’s cooking.
During a chat with his housemates, Mickey exclaimed: ‘Big Brother’s gotta work on the food a little… It’s just not that great’.
Jojo chimed in reasoning: ‘At least we’ve got Patsy. Once Patsy stops cooking we’re screwed’, to which the actor asked: ‘We gotta cook our own food?’

It came just two days after Mickey was slammed for his ‘creepy’ behaviour towards AJ Odudu during the launch of Celebrity Big Brother on Monday
The Dance Moms star then informed him that Patsy had been doing the cooking, as the camera cut to the actress looking fuming, while Angellica Bell chimed in: ‘Thank you Patsy, the food has been lovely’.
It came just days after Mickey was slammed for his ‘creepy’ behaviour towards AJ Odudu during the launch show on Monday.
Viewers were left horrified when within minutes of his arrival, the actor was seen leering at the ITV host, 37, who appeared visibly uncomfortable.
The Wrestler star received 89 Ofcom complaints following the awkward interaction.
AJ’s co-host Will Best was praised by fans for protecting her as he stepped in and pulled Mickey back from AJ after he grabbed her arm.
Keeping her professional composure, AJ told the actor to ‘stop looking at me’ and turned him and directed him to the door, with the actor heard saying: ‘No, I want to stay with you.’
Will then added: ‘Don’t take AJ with you!’ and was later seen holding her hand as they presented their next live link.
