Former Friends star Matt LeBlanc is filing for divorce later today from Melissa, his wife of three years. The National Enquirer has learned exclusively that the couple split up in January, soon after LeBlanc’s NBC sitcom Joey was cancelled.
Divorce papers are expected to be filed at Los Angeles Superior Court today.
The couple have a two-year-old daughter, Marina, who suffers from a rare brain disorder, and LeBlanc is stepfather to his wife’s two older children from an earlier marriage, Tyler, 13, and Jacquelyn, 10.
LeBlanc, 38, and former model Melissa “Missie” McKnight, 41, were married in a romantic beachfront ceremony in Hawaii on May 3, 2003.
Their daughter, born on February 8, 2004, has a neurological condition, called cortical dysplasia, which can cause seizures.
