Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito Separating, Headed towards Divorce

By Nottage and Ward on November 28, 2012

Celebrity divorces always draw media attention, but even more so when it involves a couple that has been together as long as Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman have. According to The Huffington Post, “gray divorce” is on the rise and celebrities are no exception.

Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman, 67- and 64-years-old respectively, had been married for 30 years before they decided to go their separate ways. They officially announced their separation in October and while DeVito’s “wandering eye” has been claimed as the reason for the split, a representative for DeVito claims that that is false.

The couple had married in 1982 and have three children, all in their mid or late 20s. They acted together in the TV sitcom Taxi and played a married couple in the movie Matilda. Together, they also founded the production company, Jersey Films, which has films such as Pulp Fiction and Garden State under its belt.

Separation and divorce are difficult for any couple and can be especially difficult for couples that have been together for so long.
