Frankie Muniz has taken to social media to announce the end of his marriage.
Frankie Muniz and his wife Paige have split after ten years together.
The 40-year-old actor - who has a five-year-old son called Mauz with Paige - has taken to social media to announce the end of his marriage.
Alongside a throwback photo of them together, Frankie wrote on X: "[alarm emoji] Life update! [alarm emoji] Following a period of separation that we kept private, Paige and I have decided to move forward with ending our marriage.
"After 10 beautiful years together, we’ve grown in ways that made us realize our relationship feels most natural and strong as a deep friendship and as co-parents. We share an incredible son who remains the center of our world, and we’re both happier, stronger parents because of the love and growth we’ve shared. (sic)"
Frankie acknowledged the role Paige has played in his career, explaining that she put her own plans "on hold" so he could follow his ambitions.
Frankie - who is best known for playing the titular character in Malcolm in the Middle, the hit TV sitcom - continued: "I’m endlessly grateful to Paige for everything she’s done for me and our family. She put her own dreams on hold so I could chase mine, and she was always my biggest supporter. That foundation of respect and friendship isn’t going anywhere. We’re excited to keep building Muniz Racing together and to co-parent our boy with the same teamwork and love we’ve always had.
"We’re closing one chapter with gratitude and opening the next with bright futures ahead, for us as individuals and especially for our son.
"Thank you for the love and support.
"We both choose to not entertain any questions on this matter. Please respect our families privacy during this time. (sic)"
Earlier this year, Frankie admitted that his career was having a detrimental impact on his personal life.
The actor described Paige as a "saint" and admitted that she was "sacrificing so much" so he could pursue his own dreams.
He told Us Weekly: "It is very hard, I won’t lie. Honestly, my wife is a saint. She’s sacrificing so much for me to live my dream."
