SCANDALOUS SPLIT: Dermot Mulroney Files for Divorce from Prima Apollinaare After 14 Years of Marriage!
The actor who stole our hearts as Michael O'Neal in the iconic rom-com My Best Friend's Wedding is trading in his marital bliss for a divorce! Yes, you read that right – after 14 years of marriage to singer-songwriter Prima Apollinaare, Dermot Mulroney has filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences!
According to court documents obtained by thescholarlynote.com, the 61-year-old star is seeking spousal support and wants the court to block his estranged wife from receiving any financial assistance from him. Talk about a messy divorce! But wait, there's more – Mulroney and Apollinaare are still listed at the same Sherman Oaks address, sparking rumors of a cohabiting situation or perhaps just sharing a mailing address for now.
The power couple shares two minor children, 15-year-old Mabel Ray and 17-year-old Sally Mulroney. But what about custody and child support? That's still up in the air, folks! For now, we can only speculate about the drama unfolding behind closed doors.
This news comes as a shock to fans who witnessed the loving couple's adorable performance of Islands in the Stream on Fox's We Are Family just last February 2024. Who knew that beneath their wholesome exterior, marital woes were brewing?
When asked about getting the call to do the show, Mulroney gushed: "It was such an amazing phone call to get... They knew Prima's music and put together that we are this sort of secret couple even though we've been together for 20 years." Ah, but little did we know that their harmonious duet would soon become a distant memory.
In the same interview, Apollinaare shared her excitement about singing with her hubby: "We both like to do karaoke together and we both like music so much. It was actually, for me, it was really an amazing experience to be on television and singing." Who wouldn't love that kind of romance?
But before we get too caught up in their musical harmony, let's not forget Mulroney's illustrious career. He's best known for his iconic role as Michael O'Neal in My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), opposite Julia Roberts. Who can forget the scene where he gets stood up at the altar? Classic!
Before Apollinaare, Mulroney was married to actress Catherine Keener from 1990 to 2007. The two met on the set of Survival Quest in 1987 and had their son Clyde, now 26, in 1999.
