Best known for roles in <em>Desperate Housewives<\/em> and <em>Yellowstone<\/em>, Neal said Hollywood labeled him difficult and stopped hiring him, leading to financial struggles, alcohol problems, and the loss of his home and career.<\/p>\n<p>During their hardest times, late actor Luke Perry helped Neal and his family by giving them a place to stay. Neal later admitted he felt like he had failed his wife and five children. Everything changed when Ruv\u00e9 gave him an ultimatum: choose his family or alcohol. He chose his family and rebuilt his life.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Neal and Ruv\u00e9 work together as producers on projects like <em>Boon<\/em>, <em>Homestead<\/em>, and <em>The Last Rodeo<\/em>, where Ruv\u00e9 even played his on-screen wife to respect Neal\u2019s no-kissing rule. Fans praised him for staying loyal to his values and marriage despite the career consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Their son Morgan called his parents role models, saying they proved it\u2019s possible to stay true to your morals and still succeed in Hollywood. Meanwhile, their daughter Catherine has gained attention online through modeling and fun TikTok videos with Neal.<\/p>\n<p>After losing everything years ago, the McDonough family is now thriving together, with Neal calling Ruv\u00e9 \u201cthe most amazing woman\u201d who helped him survive his darkest chapter.!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"Image_wrapper__1NP9g\">\n<div class=\"Image_container__oHMMQ\">\n<div class=\"Image_ref__XcBnw\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/imgproxy.amomama.com\/FHxv_Yl-Nrmwe2OIXsZJvx3Y8F4lB_ay8jm27c07WuA\/rs:fill:375:0:1\/g:no\/aHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4uYW1vbWFtYS5jb20vMThiMTc0MjFiZjVkMzVkNjY1OGY4MGYxYTkwNDJhZmIxMTQ5OWExZjk4MzgwOGQzMWQwMDVlMjUzZTA1M2NjMy5qcGc_d2lkdGg9NDk2OSZoZWlnaHQ9MzMxNA.jpg 375w,https:\/\/imgproxy.amomama.com\/qlP60AFBJ_cAPPvj0zDHdFRaboZCTBO966-XYzj2-_M\/rs:fill:576:0:1\/g:no\/aHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4uYW1vbWFtYS5jb20vMThiMTc0MjFiZjVkMzVkNjY1OGY4MGYxYTkwNDJhZmIxMTQ5OWExZjk4MzgwOGQzMWQwMDVlMjUzZTA1M2NjMy5qcGc_d2lkdGg9NDk2OSZoZWlnaHQ9MzMxNA.jpg 576w,https:\/\/imgproxy.amomama.com\/GTfeGbIsyV5nuTl0EtZ9xZw_R4Wshfik7bzuC_SBC8o\/rs:fill:768:0:1\/g:no\/aHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4uYW1vbWFtYS5jb20vMThiMTc0MjFiZjVkMzVkNjY1OGY4MGYxYTkwNDJhZmIxMTQ5OWExZjk4MzgwOGQzMWQwMDVlMjUzZTA1M2NjMy5qcGc_d2lkdGg9NDk2OSZoZWlnaHQ9MzMxNA.jpg 768w,https:\/\/imgproxy.amomama.com\/s_tqUk1d2JnztpQUfEG567qhFuBtRnjX36XBGAuKcC4\/rs:fill:992:0:1\/g:no\/aHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4uYW1vbWFtYS5jb20vMThiMTc0MjFiZjVkMzVkNjY1OGY4MGYxYTkwNDJhZmIxMTQ5OWExZjk4MzgwOGQzMWQwMDVlMjUzZTA1M2NjMy5qcGc_d2lkdGg9NDk2OSZoZWlnaHQ9MzMxNA.jpg 992w,https:\/\/imgproxy.amomama.com\/5K1isv16K148ZW6UShUWM0EPVQ0e3LYs4D3LMowPHDA\/rs:fill:1200:0:1\/g:no\/aHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4uYW1vbWFtYS5jb20vMThiMTc0MjFiZjVkMzVkNjY1OGY4MGYxYTkwNDJhZmIxMTQ5OWExZjk4MzgwOGQzMWQwMDVlMjUzZTA1M2NjMy5qcGc_d2lkdGg9NDk2OSZoZWlnaHQ9MzMxNA.jpg 1200w\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 835px) 100vw, (max-width: 1279px) 830px, 830px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image_image__11E9V Image_post-image__qnTn0\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.amomama.com\/18b17421bf5d35d6658f80f1a9042afb11499a1f983808d31d005e253e053cc3.jpg\" alt=\"(L-R) Morgan, London, Jammer, Neal, Ruv\u00e9, Clover, and Catherine McDonough attend &quot;The Last Rodeo&quot;
