Leah Remini and Angelo Pagan Announce the End of Their 21-Year Marriage with Grace and Honesty
Leah Remini and Angelo Pagan have long been admired not only as accomplished entertainers but also as a couple who stood as a symbol of resilience, loyalty, and unwavering support for one another. Over the years, they have shared a deep partnership grounded in mutual respect and shared values—a bond that inspired many both within and beyond Hollywood.
However, after more than two decades of marriage, the couple has announced their decision to part ways. In a heartfelt joint statement shared on Instagram, Remini and Pagan revealed they are ending their 21-year marriage, a choice they made with thoughtful reflection and emotional maturity.
Their love story began in 1996 at El Floridita, a vibrant Cuban nightclub in Los Angeles, where their paths first crossed. Together, they built a life that included raising their beloved daughter, Sofia Bella, and supporting each other through the highs and lows of both personal and professional life.
While the decision to divorce was not made lightly, the couple emphasized that it was a step taken with mutual understanding. “People grow and change,” they explained. “And sometimes, the roles we once played in each other’s lives no longer align with who we’ve become.” Rather than remain in a dynamic that no longer served them, they chose a path that honors their personal growth and truth.
Despite the separation, Remini and Pagan maintain a close friendship. They continue to spend holidays together, enjoy shared traditions, and gather as a family. Their relationship has simply shifted into a new phase—one that reflects their deep care for one another, even outside the bounds of marriage.
They also expressed pride in the life they built and the memories they created, viewing their marriage not as a failure, but as a successful chapter filled with love, growth, and lasting joy. Their message is clear: even when relationships evolve or end, they can do so with dignity and respect.
Having lived part of their lives in the public eye, particularly through reality television, Remini and Pagan felt it was important to speak openly about their experience. By doing so, they hope to offer comfort and encouragement to others facing similar life transitions—reminding them that change, while difficult, can lead to new beginnings.
In closing, the couple assured their supporters that they will continue to share glimpses of their journey as they move forward separately, yet still connected in spirit. Their story serves as a powerful reminder that the way we navigate change—with honesty, compassion, and integrity—is what truly defines us.
