Matt LeBlanc's Marriage Canceled
As it turns out, Joey may be the least of Matt LeBlanc's worries.
LeBlanc filed for divorce Thursday in Los Angeles from his wife of nearly three years. Irreconcilable differences were cited. Per court papers, the couple separated Jan. 1. LeBlanc is seeking joint custody of his and his wife's two-year-old daughter, it said.
"The dissolution is amicable," an NBC spokesman said in a statement on behalf of LeBlanc and wife Melissa. "They remain devoted parents and friends."
The news comes just months after the couple's daughter was said to be undergoing tests for a neurological disorder, and just weeks after LeBlanc's disappointing Friends spinoff, Joey, was put on hiatus for the second time this season.
LeBlanc, 38, and the former Melissa McKnight, in her late 30s or early 40s, wed in May 2003 in Hawaii. The ceremony was attended by all of LeBlanc's female Friends costars: Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox Arquette and Lisa Kudrow.
In addition to her and LeBlanc's daughter, Marina, Melissa LeBlanc has two children from a previous marriage.
In January, People reported that Marina had been suffering seizures and having difficulty walking. The New York Daily News suggested the child was suffering from cortical dysplasia, defined by Medcyclopaedia.com as an abnormality of the brain's cerebral cortex.
Just two years ago, LeBlanc called himself "the luckiest guy in the world."
"I have two beautiful stepkids, as well as my new daughter, Marina," the actor told Calgary Sun at the time. "I'm so great that I keep waiting for the roof to fall in."
Thanks to Joey, LeBlanc didn't have to wait long.
After a top-rated, 10-year run on Friends, LeBlanc was handed the keys to his own sitcom in 2004. Joey moved his Friends alter ego, struggling actor Joey Tribbiani, from New York to Los Angeles. The comedy got off to a decent start with critics and audiences. It closed out its first season averaging 10.2 million viewers, about half of what Friends had delivered in its final season.
When Joey returned last fall, Joey Tribbiani became more successful; the show less so. NBC benched the comedy after the November sweeps. Earlier this month, the network moved it to Tuesday--briefly. After one dismal showing--a fifth-place finish behind a Spanish-language novella--Joey got yanked from the schedule again. While it hasn't been formally canceled, it isn't expected to be asked back for the fall, either.
In addition to his ratings struggles, LeBlanc found himself in a PR bind last summer when the National Enquirer, first out Thursday with word of his divorce, got the star to go on the record about a night out at a strip club.
