Leah Remini and husband Angelo Pagán to divorce after 21 years of marriage

Leah Remini and her husband, Angelo Pagán, have called it quits.

“Well, here we are. After 28 years together and 21 years of marriage, we have decided to file for divorce,” the “King of Queens” alum and the actor announced in a joint Instagram post Thursday.

“This decision came after a lot of thought and care, and as hard as divorce is, we are approaching this with a positive outlook because we know it’s what’s best for us.”

Remini, 54, and Pagán, 56, decided to pull the plug on their marriage after outgrowing their respective roles to each other.

“We both changed, as people do, and we got used to playing roles that didn’t fit us anymore,” they continued.

“We’ve been best friends for so many years,” they continued. “We are still celebrating holidays together, watching our favorite tv shows together, and gathering as a family.”

The pair added, “Our bond is still strong — it’s just evolved into something different.”
