Decades after first falling in love, Hollywood icons Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman continue to showcase one of the most uniquely supportive dynamic relationships in the entertainment industry.
Nearly ten years after their final separation in 2017, DeVito opened up about how he and Perlman have successfully navigated life as close friends, co-parents, and proud grandparents without ever filing for divorce.
Reflecting on how their daily lives look today, the 81-year-old It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star shared that spending quality family time together remains a top priority:
“We’re always over at her house,” DeVito shared in a recent interview. “We see the grandchildren together, that kind of stuff. So that’s a good relationship.”
Decades of History: The iconic pair met back in 1971, tied the knot in 1982, and went on to collaborate on hit projects like Taxi and Matilda while raising their three adult children: Lucy, Grace, and Jake.
No Divorce Plans: Despite separating for good in 2017 after 30-plus years of marriage, both actors have repeatedly confirmed they have zero intention of officially divorcing, choosing instead to focus on their enduring bond.
Family-First Focus: With two young grandchildren now part of the family, the duo regularly gather for family meals, holidays, and regular visits to keep their long-standing traditions alive.
While navigate a celebrity split is often messy, DeVito and Perlman have proven that ending a romantic partnership doesn’t mean ending a family. By putting their children, grandchildren, and mutual respect first, the beloved comedy stars have established a rare co-parenting dynamic built to last.
