After a lengthy separation process, 'Roseanne' alumna Sara Gilbert and singer-songwriter Linda Perry have officially ended their marriage, marking the final chapter of their relationship.
- Dec 25, 2024
AceShowbiz - Sara Gilbert, known for her role in "Roseanne," and Linda Perry, the former vocalist of 4 Non Blondes, have concluded their prolonged divorce journey, which has been a subject of much attention.
The couple, who started dating in 2011, tied the knot in 2014 and welcomed their son Rhodes in 2015. Unfortunately, their marriage hit turbulent waters, leading Gilbert to file for divorce in December 2019, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their split.
Gilbert, who also has two children from a previous relationship, sought joint legal and physical custody of Rhodes. The pair was declared legally separated, but it wasn't until December this year that their marriage has been officially dissolved.
The terms of their separation were agreed upon amicably. Both parties share legal and physical custody of Rhodes, ensuring his upbringing will be a shared responsibility. Specific details outline that day-to-day decisions about Rhodes's care would lie with the parent he is residing with at the time. Additionally, neither Gilbert nor Perry will pay child support, a decision made during their mediation in 2021.
Reflecting on the split, Perry conveyed a positive outlook, emphasizing that their journey has evolved rather than ended. She said, "It's life, man. Life is happening and you're witnessing it. You know, this is a moment in life and people will get to witness it and… I've had an incredible journey and I'm still on an incredible journey."
Gilbert's career has remained robust amidst her personal life changes. Recently, she received a significant pay raise along with co-stars John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, and Lecy Goranson ahead of "The Conners" fourth season. This show, a spinoff of the "Roseanne" reboot, has continued to find success, propelling Gilbert and her colleagues further into the spotlight.
Despite the end of their marriage, both Gilbert and Perry look forward to new chapters in their lives, focusing on their individual careers and shared responsibilities toward their son. As Perry aptly summarized, "Things that end doesn't mean they're over or they're bad. It's just you're evolving into a different place and that's kind of how I'm looking at it."
