Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman are separating after 30 years of marriage.
The two married back in 1982 and have 3 children together.
DeVito (5'0") and Perlman (5'1") met in 1970 when Rhea went to see an off-Broadway play, The Shrinking Bride ... which featured Danny.
The two began dating soon after and lived together for 11 years before tying the knot.
A rep for the couple confirmed the split -- but has no further comment at this time.

WTF could have happened to break them up NOW?
I'm surprised Rhea didn't leave him decades ago. DeVito is a fucking mess and has been for most of his life. I don't know how Rhea tolerated him for this long.
i think happy long-term marriages and relationships exist, but they're the exception, not the rule. it seems so weird to me that our whole society is based around the fantasy that everyone is going to meet their "one true love" and stay with them forever. it's just not realistic, especially now that people are free to make their own life choices.
Anyway, I HOPE absolute truthfulness is the key, because that's the strategy my husband and I are using and we hope to make it like 60 years and be sitting together at the old folks' home one day.
