Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz shared on X and Instagram that he is divorcing his wife, Paige Muniz, after six years of marriage.
Muniz originally posted his statement accompanied by a video of him, his wife, and their 5-year-old son dancing to the song “Check Yes, Juliet,” with a caption that reads, “Who says you can’t stay best friends with your baby momma?” He later deleted the post and reuploaded it with a simple picture. In his statement, he wrote:
“After 10 beautiful years together, we’ve grown in ways that made us realize our relationship feels most natural and strong as a deep friendship and as co-parents. We share an incredible son who remains the center of our world, and we’re both happier, stronger parents because of the love and growth we’ve shared.”
He noted that they would continue to jointly build his racing company, which he has been involved in since largely leaving show business. He added that they will “co-parent our boy with the same teamwork and love we’ve always had,” before concluding:
“We’re closing one chapter with gratitude and opening the next with bright futures ahead, for us as individuals and especially for our son. Thank you for the love and support.”
After Michael Knowles called him out for the dancing video celebrating their divorce, Muniz wrote back and clarified:
While largely silent on his religious beliefs, late last year he posted a message wishing everyone a ‘Happy Sunday’ while declaring, ‘I am proud to say I live for Jesus Christ, who’s with me?’
His wife, model Paige Muniz, with whom he has a son with, has been vocal about her faith on Instagram, writing about which books of the bible she’s reading and studying (Leviticus.)
