Who is Rhea Perlman’s Husband Danny DeVito?
Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito first met on January 17, 1971, when the former went to see a friend in a single performance of the play The Shrinking Bride.
They moved in together two weeks after meeting and tied the knot on January 28, 1982. They have three children together, namely Lucy Chet DeVito, Grace Fan DeVito, and Jacob Daniel DeVito.
Perlman, who is Jewish, and DeVito, who was raised Catholic, raised their children celebrating the major holidays of both religions but did not give their children any religious identity.
Perlman told the Los Angeles Times in 1998: “We do all the holidays to keep the traditions and the culture going, but I truly don’t have a great feeling about any particular organized religion, and I don’t think it’s right to impose one on my kids. I feel like I’m bringing them up to be good people, and that’s what it’s about.”
Perlman and DeVito separated in October 2012. However, in March 2013, it was reported that they had reconciled. The couple later separated again for a second time in March 2017 on amicable terms. Although the two no longer live together, Perlman said she has no intention of divorcing DeVito.
