In a surprising turn of events, Judge Greg Mathis finds himself grappling with heartbreak as his wife, Linda Yvette Mathis, has initiated divorce proceedings after nearly four decades of marriage.
The renowned TV judge recently opened up about his emotional turmoil, revealing that he is struggling to come to terms with the situation.
Speaking candidly at Los Angeles International Airport, Mathis described this period as one of the most challenging times in his life.
Mathis expressed regret over his past actions, admitting that he had taken Linda for granted over the years.
He acknowledged that she was not always his top priority, which contributed to the strain in their relationship.
Despite the impending divorce, he remains hopeful about rekindling their bond, stating, “I’m working to reclaim my wife.”
Mathis emphasized the importance of demonstrating his commitment to her, hoping that by doing so, he could convince her to reconsider the divorce.
The couple continues to live together, maintaining a semblance of friendship amidst the chaos.
Mathis revealed, “We are still in the same house.
Our friendship continues to exist.” He is determined to show Linda the reasons why they belong together, expressing a strong desire for her to halt the divorce process.
“I’m gonna get my wife back,” he boldly declared, showcasing his unwavering commitment to their marriage.
Amidst swirling rumors and speculation regarding infidelity, Mathis firmly denied any allegations of cheating.
He took the opportunity to dispel troubling gossip, stating, “I just wanted to get rid of all the rumors that it’s something to do with a baby or even me molesting a child.” Mathis emphasized that these claims are unfounded and irrelevant to their situation.
The couple shares four adult children, and their family dynamics were previously showcased on the reality show “Mathis Family Matters.”
Mathis acknowledged that while he understands why Linda might feel suspicious due to his frequent absences, he insists that neglect should not lead to such assumptions.
“There’s no doubt that neglect can lead to suspicion,” he explained, recognizing the impact of his busy lifestyle on their relationship.
Since moving his show to Los Angeles earlier this year, Mathis had intended to spend more time with his wife.
However, he confessed that despite his promises, he has continued to be away from home more than he would like.
“I’m still on the road, traveling in the same direction to a different city,” he lamented, highlighting the challenges of balancing work and family life.
Judge Mathis’ heartfelt revelations shed light on the complexities of long-term relationships, particularly in the face of career demands.
He acknowledges that his commitment to serving the community often pulls him away from home, leaving Linda feeling neglected.
“You go to work and serve the nation’s community at the same time,” he said, reflecting on the sacrifices made for his career.
As he navigates this difficult chapter, Mathis remains focused on rebuilding trust and connection with his wife.
He hopes that through his efforts, Linda will recognize the love and dedication he still holds for her.
