Judge Greg Mathis has reconciled with his wife, Linda Mathis, after she filed for divorce in August. Linda cited “irreconcilable differences” for the split.
Linda listed the date of their separation as July 17, 2024. She applied for spousal support and she asked the court to waive her requirement to pay spousal support to Mathis.
Linda and the judge broke the happy news to TMZ. Judge Mathis said sometimes God has to break you down to lift you back up.
It helped that Judge Mathis had an ironclad prenup — and Linda would be left with nothing but the clothes on her back.
Linda earned income in a reality TV series titled “Mathis Family Matters” on E! Network. The series aired after Mathis retired from his daytime Emmy Award-winning reality court show “Judge Mathis.”
The Mathises are pictured in Nov. 2022 with sons Amir (right), Greg Jr. (2nd from left) and Greg Jr.’s life partner, Elliott Cooper (left).
In the TV series, Judge Mathis said his marriage to Linda and his family were his greatest achievements.
“The star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is certainly my highest professional achievement,” he said. “But I got to say, it was really my family that was the foundation of my success. After coming out of the streets in Detroit, Linda allowed me to work 15 hours a day, 5, 6 days a week, so it’s that support that allowed me the success that you see.”
“Our love and support runs deep,” Linda Mathis added. “That’s how the Mathis family rolls.”g he could to win her back. Looks like his priorities have officially shifted!
The couple met in college. They were married 39 years and shared four children, Jade, 39, Camara, 36, Greg Jr., 35, and Amir, 34.
In an interview, Mathis said he had a “wholesome family” who never fight.
“We are a whole family, a wholesome family,” he said. “We all have our flaws, but we don’t fight. Never have… If we have to fight, the answer is no [to returning].”
