Frankie Muniz had fans worried this weekend. On Friday, the former Malcolm in the Middle star posted that the last six weeks had been a“nightmare”and that he’d hit“rock bottom,”adding that sometimes rock bottom is the thing that wakes you up. The internet responded exactly how you’d expect: with a lot of concern and a lot of supportive comments.
Then Saturday flipped the script. Muniz shared a photo from Scottsdale, Arizona, smiling with estranged wife Paige Price and their five-year-old son Mauz. Paige followed up with a cryptic post about perspective, comparing how a zebra views a lion versus how grass views a zebra, which fans are interpreting as a hint that the two are working things out. It all comes after a July divorce announcement Muniz deleted, which had mentioned a private separation and co-parenting plans.
Nothing has been officially confirmed about where the relationship stands, but the sequence has people talking about everything from child stars and mental health to how much of a marriage should play out online. One thing’s clear: Muniz being this open about struggling resonated with a lot of people who grew up watching him.
What do you think, are they back together or just figuring out co-parenting?
