Skating with Celebrities Scandal

By: Shannon Gossage

Swanson, best known for starring in the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and skating partner Lloyd Eisler reportedly began an affair while filming the show and while Eisler was still married to his pregnant wife, Marcia. The show was taped in the fall, but didn’t air until January. According to an onset source, "Everyone knew there was something going on. It was obvious they were together." The two are currently still dating and according to their Skating competitor Bruce Jenner, "They seem to be very happy."

Reportedly, when Marcia visited the set of Skating with Celebrities she "felt a vibe that things weren’t normal." Nothing was confirmed until Swanson allegedly forwarded Marcia a "steamy" email from Eisler. When Marcia confronted him he "eventually admitted it." The couple was officially separated on November 30 and she had their second son, Seth, two weeks later. The couple has a 21-month old son Ethan. Marcia said of the affair, "I was shocked, upset, and betrayed. I should have trusted my instincts." Both Swanson and Eisler refuse to comment on whether or not there was an email or their relationship. They will only say that Eisler’s marriage was over before they began seeing each other.

It has just been revealed that shortly after Eisler and Marcia separated, he allegedly tried to win her back. A source close to Marcia said, "Lloyd made an attempt to reconcile with her after they separated, by calling her and telling her that he still loved her. He even offered to give her a Tiffany ring!" Reportedly, Marcia shot him down and has even changed her name back to her maiden name, also changing the children’s last names to hers.
