Anthony LaPaglia will be returning to bachelor life once again.
The Without a Trace actor and his wife Alexandra Henkel are breaking up. The two have been husband and wife since 2018. Alexandra is the one pulling the plug on the marriage, going to court on Tuesday to file for the divorce.
She is 30 years younger than the Primetime Emmy Award winner.
Anthony LaPaglia and his wife Alexandra Henkel are getting a divorce
The third time was not the charm for Anthony LaPaglia’s married life.
Evidently, there were a lot of tensions building up between him and Alexandra before the latter eventually had enough. In documents obtained by TMZ, Alexandra cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce. The two officially separated on September 11.
If there is one silver lining to this break-up, it could be that they don’t have any children together. That means there won’t be an ugly custody battle or any child support payments that either must deal with.
On the other hand, Alexandra is reportedly seeking support of a different kind. She apparently wants spousal support from Anthony as part of the divorce and is seeking payments from the Australian-born actor on the front.
Some flashy bling is at the top of her wish list. Among the things she wants in the settlement are reportedly a Rolex watch, her engagement ring, and some jewellery. She would also like the court to divide the proceeds from the Los Angeles home they recently sold.
Anthony has one daughter from his second marriage to actress Gia Carides. Bridget was born in January 2003. Anthony and Gia were married for 17 years.
Since Without a Trace ended, Anthony has appeared in numerous feature films and made guest appearances on several TV shows. He’ll be starring in an upcoming science fiction musical theatre film entitled R.U.R. Anthony won a Golden Globe for Outstanding Guest appearance on Frasier. The star of that show Kelsey Grammer went through a divorce a few years ago with Camille Meyer of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fame.
