The Vancouver-born Dakha was cast in the 2005 film called Fantastic Four. She was a cast member of “Good Luck Chuck” (2007) and had also performed in “The Eye” (2008).
Both Malco and Dakha moved on from their past and are doing well in their respective lives. Now, the actor has found his new lover with whom he shared a son, Brave.
In 2021, Romany became the father of his first child, Brave, as he shared the news through his Instagram handle. According to Malco (then-52), he was first hesitant to share the news of his son’s birth.
“The Duff” fame actor Malco penned, “But then I figured there are some people who are genuinely interested in my take on the experience of becoming a biological father.” Brave is his first biological child. Meanwhile, he had already tasted fatherhood through his two stepsons.
