Leah Remini, known for her role in *King of Queens*, has announced her separation from her husband Angelo Pagán after nearly three decades together. The couple, who were married for 21 years and have a 20-year-old daughter named Sofia, shared the news of their divorce in a joint statement on social media.
They expressed that the decision to part ways was made after careful consideration and with a positive outlook, believing it to be the best choice for their future.
Despite the sadness of their breakup, Leah and Angelo emphasized the amicable nature of their separation. They mentioned that they are still close friends and will continue to share many aspects of their lives, including family gatherings and favorite activities.
The couple highlighted that their relationship, although evolving, remains strong in a different form, and they are proud of how they have handled the transition together.
Leah and Angelo also opened up about the reasons behind their split, explaining that they had changed as individuals over time and found themselves playing roles in the marriage that no longer suited them.
After much effort and thought, they decided that divorce was the right step to reflect who they are today. They view their marriage as a success, having created many beautiful memories, especially in raising their daughter, and they look forward to making new memories in a different way.
Leah and Angelo’s relationship began in 1996, and they married in 2003 in a Las Vegas ceremony. Angelo, who is also an actor, has three sons from a previous relationship. The couple’s announcement of their divorce comes amid a similar high-profile split, as Leah’s friend and former co-star Jennifer Lopez recently filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, citing irreconcilable differences.
The timing of these divorces, both involving long-term relationships and well-known celebrities, has drawn public attention. However, Leah and Angelo’s statement reflects a mature and reflective approach to their separation, hoping to inspire others by showing that a relationship’s end does not equate to failure, but rather an evolution of their bond.
