Frankie Muniz has always been one of those celebrities we feel like we know. So when he started posting messages about the last six weeks being a“nightmare,”where everything felt“heavy, unclear, and like it was falling apart,”fans noticed fast. Now sources close to the situation tell Page Six those posts reflect two major pressures at once: a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season that hasn’t gone his way, and his ongoing divorce from wife Paige Price.
The timeline makes it clear why things feel so heavy. Muniz and Price announced their split on July 1 after a decade together, and the two share a five-year-old son named Mauz. At the same time, Muniz has been flying between Arizona and North Carolina to keep up with racing duties, squeezing in simulator work while also filming. Sources describe the whole schedule as exhausting, the kind of grind that chips away at everything else.
Muniz hasn’t gone fully dark, though. He also shared a more reflective thought, writing that“life is all about perspective,”comparing how the zebra and the lion look to the grass. His next race is the Craftsman Truck Series event at Kansas Speedway next Saturday. So what do you think: is this the low point before a big comeback, or does he need to step back and regroup?
