Joshua Malina's wife

Joshua Malina, the actor known for his role in 'The West Wing', is facing divorce after nearly 28 years of marriage to Melissa Merwin, who cited 'irreconcilable differences' in her court filing. The couple, married since December 1996, shares two adult children, Isabel, 26, and Avi, 22, and thus, no child support or custody arrangements are necessary. Melissa is seeking spousal support but aims for an amicable resolution with minimal court involvement. Their relationship, which began in 1992, has been largely private, with few public appearances or social media posts about each other. Malina, who has appeared in various prominent TV shows, has not publicly commented on the divorce. The couple's separation reflects a mutual desire for a straightforward and respectful parting.
