Leah Remini is ready for her second act.
After all, the King of Queens alum has parted ways with her husband Angelo Pagán after almost three decades together.
“After 28 years together and 21 years of marriage, we have decided to file for divorce,” Leah and Angelo said in a joint statement shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) Aug. 29. “This decision came after a lot of thought and care, and as hard as divorce is, we are approaching this with a positive outlook because we know it’s what’s best for us.”
Though the former couple—who shares 20-year-old daughter Sofia—are “sad” that their romance is coming to an end, they noted of their cordial breakup, “We are proud of how we have worked through this together.”
“We’ve got some figuring out to do as we continue to move forward into our new normal—together still in many ways, and apart in some new ones,” Leah and Angelo continued. “But here’s the thing: we’ve been best friends for so many years. We are still celebrating holidays together, watching our favorite tv shows together, and gathering as a family.”
They added, “We hope our journey can inspire others to see that relationships—whether they change or end—aren’t failures.”
