Leah Remini and her husband Angelo Pagan recently announced that they are getting a divorce after 21 years of marriage. The decision was made after a lot of thought and care, with the couple stating that they have both evolved and changed over the years and have decided to take this step. They acknowledged that while divorce is hard, they are approaching it with a positive outlook and are still best friends. They see their marriage as a success and are looking forward to creating new memories as exes.
The couple revealed that their decision to divorce came after realizing that they had changed and were playing roles that no longer fit them. Despite the sadness surrounding the end of their marriage, they emphasized that their bond is still strong, just in a different form. They are still planning to celebrate holidays together and remain close as a family. Leah and Angelo see their divorce as a way to embrace new beginnings while cherishing the memories they have created over the years.
Leah and Angelo shared their announcement on Instagram, along with side-by-side photos of themselves from when they first met and more recently. They wanted to be transparent with their fans, as they had previously shared their marriage publicly on their reality show. They hope that sharing their journey through divorce will inspire others to see that relationships, even when they change or end, are not failures. The couple is committed to sharing snippets of their lives as they navigate this new chapter in a public way.
Leah and Angelo met in 1996, before Leah found mainstream success on the sitcom King Of Queens. They got married in 2003 and have a daughter together, as well as three sons from Angelo’s previous relationship. The couple joined the controversial religion Scientology, which Leah later left and criticized publicly. Following her exit from the church, Leah went on to publish a bestselling memoir and appear in a documentary series about Scientology. She is currently suing Scientology’s leader for alleged harassment and defamation.
Leah’s decision to leave Scientology was supported by her husband and mother, which meant everything to her. She feared losing her family when she made the decision to leave the church. More recently, Leah has opened up about struggling with depression and anxiety as well as symptoms of perimenopause since leaving Scientology. Despite these challenges, Leah remains resilient and is navigating this new chapter in her life with optimism and strength, looking forward to creating new cherished memories both with her family and as an individual.
