Leah Remini And Angelo Pagan: A Journey Of Love And Separation

Leah Remini and her husband Angelo Pagan have revealed that after almost three decades together, they’re divorcing—and they shared their reasons why. The former Scientologist wed Pagan in 2003, and in 2004, they welcomed their daughter, Sofia Bella Pagan. The couple has been together for 28 years and married for 21 of those years. Despite considering themselves "best friends," they have made the tough decision to end their marriage.

The announcement was shared through a joint statement on Remini's Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), which explained their decision. This heartfelt post has gained significant traction, with over 525,900 views at the time of writing, showcasing the interest and support from their followers.

In their statement, they expressed, “To put it simply, we both changed, as people do, and we got used to playing roles that didn’t fit us anymore. After a lot of effort and consideration, we’ve decided to take this step, which reflects who we are today. Our bond is still strong—it’s just evolved into something different.”

They emphasized that their marriage, which created many beautiful memories, especially in raising their daughter, is something to celebrate. “From our perspective, this marriage was a huge success. And now, we’re looking forward to creating even more cherished moments—just in a different way,” they added.

The couple reassured their fans that the decision to separate was not made lightly, but rather the result of extensive thought and care. They acknowledged the challenges that divorce can bring but reiterated that it is the best path forward for both of them.

“Yes, we’re sad, and we’ve got some figuring out to do as we continue to move forward into our new normal—together still in many ways, and apart in some new ones,” the statement continued. They highlighted their long-standing friendship, noting that they will still celebrate holidays together and gather as a family.

Remini and Pagan expressed their desire to be transparent with their followers due to their public relationship. Their reality show, Leah Remini: It's All Relative, aired on TLC in 2014 and provided viewers a glimpse into their lives, showcasing Remini's busy career and vibrant family life.

Since leaving Scientology, the couple has navigated their personal and public lives with care. They hope their journey will inspire others to see that relationships—whether they change or end—aren’t failures. “We’ll keep sharing snippets of our lives as we navigate this new chapter. Love, Leah & Angelo,” they concluded.

Their announcement has been met with an outpouring of support online, with many fans expressing their well-wishes. “Life partners regardless. Wish you both much happiness and fulfillment,” one follower commented. Another added, “Congratulations to both of you for wanting to be happy instead of spending the rest of your lives otherwise.”

Leah Remini and Angelo Pagan first met in 1996, and Pagan proposed on Christmas Eve in 2002. They tied the knot seven months later in July 2003, marking the beginning of a long journey that has now taken a new direction.

This chapter in their lives serves as a reminder that love can take many forms, and sometimes, the best way to honor that love is to embrace change.
