Matt LeBlanc Gives His Marriage the Ax
The only Matt LeBlanc news I was expecting was that his show, Joey, was getting canceled. For now, Joey is safe... but Matt LeBlanc's marriage isn't.
Access Hollywood reports that Matt LeBlanc is going to file for divorce from his wife of three years, Melissa McKnight.
Here's the press release that Matt's mouthpiece released to AH:
"Melissa and Matt LeBlanc have decided to end their marriage of three years. The dissolution is amicable. They remain devoted parents and friends. For the sake of their family, they ask that their privacy be respected at this time."
The couple reportedly split on January 1 -- around the time Joey was taken off the air for a this-show-sucks-so-we-have-to-decide-what-to-do-with-it hiatus. They have a daughter, Marina, 2, and Melissa has two children from a previous marriage.
Although Matt and Missie have been together in 1997, last year rumors of problems surfaced when Matt made a bizarre confession about how he almost cheated on Melissa with a stripper. Since then, times have been rough for him professionally -- his show tanked and he's reportedly very frustrated about it.
I'm sure his old Friend Jen can give him some advice on getting through this difficult time.
