On August 3, 1997, McCormack and Janet Leigh wed and became husband and wife. On November 22, she submitted her petition for divorce in the city of Los Angeles.
It is becoming more likely that Eric McCormack and Janet Leigh Holden McCormack will no longer be married. At the end of their 26-year marriage, she submitted a petition for divorce from the Will & Grace actor.
The divorce papers were submitted by Janet to the Los Angeles County Superior Court only one day before Thanksgiving, as stated in the court records that ET was able to get. “Irreconcilable differences” is the reason that Janet names in the court records as the basis for the breakup of the relationship. The wedding took place on August 3, 1997, between the divorcing couple. When it came to the date of the breakup, Janet had written “TBD.”
In addition to seeking that her lawyers bills be reimbursed, she is also requesting spousal assistance. In addition, she is seeking that Eric, who is the father of Finnigan, who is 21 years old, not get any financial assistance on her behalf. During the process of dividing the property among themselves, Janet is also requesting that it be divided in an equitable manner.
Eric and Janet have not made any public statements about their separation. A watching party for the Academy Awards was the last time the separated couple was seen together, as reported by the New York Post. The photos were taken in March.
Eric was working on the set of the television series Lonesome Dove when he first met Janet. The actor revealed this information in an Instagram post that was published in April 2020. He said that “no one on the show knew we’d been dating for months” when they were shot together at the season 1 wrap party in December 1994.
“She was the assistant director,” Eric said in comments to The Guardian in the year 2007. As someone who had just ended a relationship, I was not someone who could be trusted. I’d been dating actresses before, but Janet was special in her own way. Jeans were her uniform, and she drove a pick-up truck… At first, she wasn’t all that interested. She was well aware that acting is a very laborious profession; it would be like carrying your job home with you. I was successful in persuading her as well. In the first season, we were involved in a covert affair. That is to say, dating crew! In reality, it was a lot more difficult for her since she was not allowed to offer any of the performers special treatment under any circumstances.
In the same piece of writing, the actor discussed his experiences as a dad.
“I have mixed feelings about having children later in life. I think that individuals should spend their twenties living and having fun so that they do not have any regrets in the future,” he made the statement. Additionally, I believe that individuals who are in their thirties are typically better suited to be parents; but, a significant number of my acquaintances, including myself, are experiencing difficulties as dads become older. When I was 38 years old, my son was born. At the present, we are attempting to have a second kid, and by the time it arrives, I will be at least 43 years old. When asked about Charlie Chaplin’s ability to have children at the age of 70, Woody Allen said, “Yes, but he couldn’t pick them up!”
