Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman have been separated since 2017, but you wouldn’t know it from how they talk about each other. In a new interview with AARP, DeVito revealed that the former couple still talks daily, meets weekly for meals with their kids and grandkids, and has no plans to get divorced.“We’re always over at her house. We see the grandchildren together,”he said.
Perlman, best known for her role on Cheers, has said their relationship is“much better now”because the“tense stuff is gone.”The couple met in 1971, moved in together after just two weeks, and married in 1982. They had a brief separation in 2012 before their final split in 2017, but the bond never broke. They share three adult children together.
It’s a rare and refreshing look at what an amicable separation can look like. No drama, no court battles, just two people who genuinely love each other as family. What do you think? Could you stay this close with an ex?
