After 28 years together and 21 years of marriage, we have decided to file for divorce,” the announcement read.
“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.” The statement continued, “We are proud of how we have worked through this together. Yes, we’re sad, and 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.
” “But here’s the thing: we’ve been best friends for so many years,” the post added. “We are still celebrating holidays together, watching our favorite tv shows together, and gathering as a family.” A post shared by Leah Remini (@leahremini) The King of Queens alum met Pagán in 1996, and the pair tied the knot in 2003.
They have a daughter, Sofia Bella, who turned 18 in June. Pagán also has three sons from a previous relationship. As for why the former couple have decided to separate, the statement noted, “To put it simply, we both changed, as people do, and we got used to playing roles that didn’t fit us anymore.
After a lot of effort and consideration, we’ve decided to take this step, which reflects who we are today.”.
