Actor Joshua Malina and his wife of nearly 28 years, Melissa Merwin, are getting a divorce. The 61-year-old Merwin filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. The couple has two adult children, Isabel and Avi. Merwin is not asking for child support but is requesting spousal support. The divorce is expected to be amicable and without court intervention.
Malina, known for his roles in shows like “The West Wing” and “Scandal,” rarely shared details of his personal life on social media, keeping his marriage out of the public eye. Despite being together for over three decades, the couple maintained a private life. Malina recently paid tribute to his wife on her birthday, but they have kept their relationship largely private.
The actor has had a successful career on television, with roles in shows such as “The West Wing,” “Scandal,” and “The Big Bang Theory.” He recently returned to Broadway in 2023. Malina has expressed his excitement about returning to the stage, describing it as a return to his roots as an actor.
The couple met in 1992 through Merwin’s sister and former brother-in-law, getting married in 1996 after dating for several years. Malina’s representative has not commented on the divorce filing. Despite the split, both parties seem to be handling the situation with maturity and respect.
