Joshua Malina and Melissa Merwin.The 58-year-old “West Wing” actor’s wife of nearly 28 years filed for divorce, according to court documents obtained by TMZ on Monday, August 5.Merwin, 61, cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split but did not list their date of separation.
She did not request child support from Malina as the pair share two adult children: daughter Isabel, 26, and son Avi, 22 — but she is demanding spousal support.Merwin worked in the costume department on productions like “Ellen,” “Fallen,” and “Point of No Return;” however, her last gig listed on IMDB was in 1998.
Malina’s divorce will likely be smooth sailing as TMZ noted his estranged wife would like to dissolve their nearly 30-year marriage “amicably” and “with minimal court intervention.”Since their kids are adults, child support and custody won’t be issues.
The Post has reached out to Malina’s rep for comment. Malina — known for playing Will Bailey on the NBC drama “The West Wing” — met his soon-to-be ex-wife through her sister, Jennifer Merwin, and former brother-in-law Timothy Busfield in 1992.The pair dated several years before tying the knot in December 1996.Despite being together for over three decades, the actor and his estranged wife kept their marriage and family life out of the public eye.
