Leah Remini And Angelo Pagan Announce Divorce After 21 Years Of Marriage: ‘Our Bond Is Still Strong—It’s Just Evolved’
Leah Remini and Angelo Pagan are going their separate ways after more than two decades of marriage. The couple announced their decision to end their union after 21 years in a joint Instagram post on Thursday, August 29.
“Well, here we are. After 28 years together and 21 years of marriage, we have decided to file for divorce,” the lengthy Instagram statement began. “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.”
Later in their statement, the parting couple shared that they will keep celebrating holidays together, watching their favorite TV shows together, and gathering as a family. Being aware that this promise would bring the attention of their admirers to the reason for the divorce, Remini and Pagan shared that they both have simply changed a lot over the past few years, hence the decision to take the step that would better reflect who they are today.
“Our bond is still strong—it’s just evolved into something different,” they explained.
Noting that they feel it is worth celebrating a marriage that lasted this long, the duo expressed that they are now looking forward to being in each other’s lives and making more cherished memories together, but in a different way. As for the decision to share the news publicly, the soon-to-be former couple shared that they felt it would only be fair to share it with their fans because they shared the marriage “so publicly” on TV over the years.
Remini and Pagan expressed hope to inspire others to see that relationships, even when they change or end, aren’t failures. “We’ll keep sharing snippets of our lives as we navigate this chapter,” they concluded.
Remini and Pagan got married in Las Vegas in 2003 after the actress first met him in 1996 while he was performing at El Floridita, a Cuban club and restaurant in LA. “For me, it was love at first sight,” Remini recalled during a 2010 interview with Redbook magazine.
In 2019, she opened up about their first meeting during an appearance on RuPaul, recalling seeing Pagan across the room and making all the “wrong” decisions, including asking him what time he gets off work.
Over the years, Remini and Pagan worked together on various occasions, including on her hit sitcom The King of Queens, where he made several guest appearances.
The soon-to-be exes are parents to daughter, Sofia Bella, whom they welcomed on June 16, 2004. Pagan also has three sons from a previous relationship.

US “Ready To Turn The Page” On Donald Trump, Says Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris declared Thursday that Americans are ready to turn the page on Donald Trump and chart a new path for the country, in her first major interview since her dramatic entry into November’s presidential election.
Harris, 59, aimed to stake out a centrist position on CNN, insisting that she will be tough on illegal immigration and support controversial oil and gas fracking — but not abandon her longtime liberal values.
The first female and Black and South Asian vice president described Trump as “pushing an agenda and an environment that is about diminishing the character and the strength of who we are as Americans, really dividing our nation.”
“I think people are ready to turn the page on that,” she said. “People are ready for a new way forward.”
The Democrat also said that she would name a Republican to her cabinet if she wins November’s election, in her joint CNN sit-down with her running mate Tim Walz.
Trump meanwhile branded Harris the “greatest flip-flopper” as he addressed a rally in the swing state of Michigan, before mocking her appearance in the interview.
“She didn’t look like a leader to me,” the Republican said.
Harris rejected criticism that she has shifted positions on politically sensitive issues including fracking, which she once opposed but now supports, and illegal migration over the Mexican border, where she has taken a harder line.
“As president I will not ban fracking,” she said — clearly aiming to settle the controversy in fossil-fuel-rich Pennsylvania, one of the vital battleground states in what’s expected to be a tight election.
Addressing criticism that she had been too soft on immigration — a core part of Trump’s message — Harris said that as president she would sign tough legislation.
Harris is reaching for centrist voters worried by immigration and fuel costs. But in a nod to her left-leaning supporters, she insisted that she had not fundamentally shifted.
“My values have not changed,” Harris said.
On another hot-button topic on the US political landscape, Harris urged a ceasefire in Gaza, but told CNN that she would not change President Joe Biden’s policies for key US ally Israel, including deliveries of weaponry.
Honeymoon period?
Republicans had criticized Harris for not giving any interviews since Biden abruptly dropped out of the White House race nearly six weeks ago, following mounting concerns over his health and age at 81.
Harris has enjoyed a honeymoon period with surging polls and record fundraising, but has also faced scrutiny for keeping many of her policies vague as she pulls her campaign together.
Harris gave the interview while on a campaign bus tour of Georgia, one of the seven battleground states that are expected to decide the November 5 election.
A number of polls out Thursday showed Harris ahead of Trump, if only marginally, with several of them finding increased support for Harris in battleground states.
A Bloomberg/Morning Consult poll found Harris leading in six out of the seven swing states while a Fox poll also showed increasing support in the battlegrounds.
At a rally in Savannah at the end of the two-day swing in Georgia, which Democrats flipped from Trump in 2020, she admitted it was “going to be a tight race until the very end.”
Trump has himself been hitting the campaign trail hard in recent days, after a period where the 78-year-old former president appeared to struggle to find his footing against a new, younger, female candidate.
Speaking at an event in Potterville, Michigan on Thursday, Trump targeted Harris on her immigration policy shifts: “Now she’s saying, ‘Oh we want to build a strong border.”
“Where has she been for three and a half years?”
Harris and Trump are set to face off in their pivotal first debate on September 10 in Philadelphia.
