Who is Miriam Rothbart, Patrick Muldoon’s girlfriend? What is her profession?

Like Patrick Muldoon, his girlfriend, Miriam Rothbart, is also associated with the entertainment industry. According to Us Weekly, she is an entertainment lawyer who transitioned into producing both movies and music. She founded her own production house in 2018 and named it Rothbart Productions. She worked on short films such as Lilith (2013), Only Child (2021) and Hellhole (2021). Only Child’s credits page lists Miriam’s bio, which describes her as “an entrepreneur with many talents.” Notably, Miriam achieved it all on her own accord, before she started dating Patrick Muldoon. Her bio could be read as:

“She [Miriam] started her career in entertainment law before becoming a prominent music and record producer. She established Rothbart Productions in 2018 and is currently producing numerous film projects in Los Angeles and New York.”

According to the same bio, Miriam Rothbart is an art enthusiast affiliated with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

How long did Patrick Muldoon and Miriam Rothbart date?

Miriam Rothbart has largely remained out of the public spotlight, even as the girlfriend of an accomplished Hollywood star like Patrick Muldoon. The public first learned of Miriam’s existence when he opened up about her during his appearance on the October 2025 episode of iHeartRadio’s MisSPELLING podcast. It was the first time the actor spoke about his dating life since his split with Denise Richards. At that time, Patrick revealed that he had been secretly dating his girlfriend for two years since 2023. Thus, until his death, they had spent 2.6 years as a couple.

When Patrick revealed having a long-term lover, he didn’t immediately unveil her identity to the public, as she likely wants to avoid the excessive media attention that comes with being associated with a celebrity. His fans have not been able to find her social media accounts, even after her name was revealed as Miriam Rothbart. According to the late actor’s revelation, he started dating her after taking a hiatus from acting following his 2022 movie, Dakota. Notably, Miriam hasn’t issued any official statement regarding Patrick’s demise.

According to latest reports regarding his death, Miriam was with him during his final moments in their Beverly Hills home. Patrick Muldoon’s sister, Shana Muldoon-Zappa’s told TMZ that the actor suffered a fatal heart attack in the shower of his Beverly Hills home shortly after having morning coffee with his girlfriend, Miriam. When she saw him taking unusually longer to come back from bathroom, she went to check on him and found him unconscious on the floor. Despite the efforts of paramedics who arrived at the scene, he could not be revived.

We share our heartfelt condolences to Patrick Muldon’s family as they deal with the tough time.
