[edit] Health issues
He had troubles with cocaine during 1993, entering a month-long rehab program in 1996, but leaving it only after a week. [5] He is also reported to have experienced bipolar disorder. [5] A turning point in his health issues came in late 1997, after having signed divorce papers charging him with spousal abuse and drug addiction.
Quoted in the January 30, 2006 edition of the Australian Woman's Day magazine:
The former action hero says he had bipolar disorder, but didn't know it until he became suicidal. He was diagnosed with rapid-cycling bipolar disorder and was placed on sodium valproate, which he calls "that simple salt".
Van Damme has been married four times, including two marriages with his current wife, bodybuilder and fitness competitor Gladys Portugues.
Cynthia Derderian (1985 - 1985) (divorced)
Gladys Portugues (1986 - 1992) (divorced) 2 children
Darcy LaPier (3 February 1994 - November 1997) (divorced) 1 child
Gladys Portugues (25 June 1999 - present)

I bought a hot dog off him just the other day off of yonge and queen street in Toronto. He's makes a killer german sausage. He's planning on making a comeback like Paul Newman marketing his own coleslaw from a recipe passed down to him from his great uncle francois.
He also told me he might make the occasional B (or C) movie just to make blockbuster happy.
