Dermot Mulroney Files for Divorce From Wife Prima Apollinaare, Asks for Spousal Support
Dermot Mulroney has filed for divorce from his wife, Prima Apollinaare, after nearly 15 years of marriage.
The 61-year-old actor submitted a dissolution of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences, to a Los Angeles County Superior Court on June 21, documents obtained by TODAY.com show. He did not include an exact date of separation and simply wrote TBD.
Mulroney and Apollinaare, a musician, tied the knot on December 9, 2010. They share two children together: 17-year-old Mabel Ray Mulroney and 15-year-old Sally June Mulroney.
In the documents, the 'Chicago Fire' star requested joint legal and physical custody of their daughters.
He is also asking the court to terminate spousal support for Apollinaare and grant him spousal support, instead. Their division of assets and property will be determined at a later date.
In addition to his daughters, Mulroney is a father to 26-year-old son Clyde Mulroney, whom he shares with ex-wife and actor Catherine Keener. The two actors were married from 1990 to 2007.
Mulroney and Apollinaare appeared together on the Fox game show 'We Are Family' in February 2024, according to Entertainment Weekly. Apollinaare participated in the Season 1 finale of the show, which highlighted the singing talents of celebrity relatives as contestants guessed their true identities.
In the episode, Apollinaare performed 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow' by The Shirelles before her husband secretly joined her for a duet of 'Islands in the Stream' by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. Apollinaare's identity was revealed later in the episode when Mulroney came out on stage and sang with her again.
Speaking about their time on the show, Mulroney told EW, 'It was such an amazing phone call to get that the show reached out to us. They knew Prima's music and put together that we are this sort of secret couple even though we've been together for 20 years. Kind of a stealth Hollywood couple. So it really works perfectly for this show.'
Apollinaare said they agreed to be on 'We Are Family' when they learned it featured contestants like nurses and first responders who could win money.
'We both like to do karaoke together and we both like music so much. It was actually, for me, it was really an amazing experience to be on television and singing. Of course with my husband, I play with him all the time in the house,' she shared.
Late last year, Mulroney booked a starring role on 'Chicago Fire,' which films in the Windy City, as Chief Dom Pascal. The show wrapped its 13th season in May.

The Simpsons' producer clarifies Marge's death
The Simpsons executive producer Matt Selman addressed fan concerns about Marge Simpson 's apparent Death in the show's 36th season finale. Selman clarified that Marge's Death is not considered canon, stating that the show has no consistent canon due to numerous contradictory flash-forwards. The episode, set 35 years in the future, depicted Homer at Marge's grave, but Marge later appeared in a pre-recorded message and then in heaven. Selman suggested that media outlets created misleading headlines about Marge's Death to generate traffic, despite knowing it was not a permanent plot point. The long-running animated series has been renewed for four more seasons, ensuring it will surpass 800 episodes.

The Simpsons makes clear if Marge Simpson survived show's 36th season finale
Fans of Marge Simpson can breathe easier Thursday. Amid rampant speculation that the matriarch of the iconic animated series was killed off amid the show's 36th season finale, a producer on the long-running animated series clarified she's alive and well. In response to murmurs that data points in the show's 790-episode canon indicated that Marge had died, executive producer Matt Selman told Variety that Springfield's most famous mom is alive and well. 'There is no canon - the Simpsons' doesn't even have canon!' Selman told the outlet. Selman said that the freeform nature of the long-running series, which began as skits on The Tracey Ullman Show in the late 1980s, can lend at times to misguided speculation. 'Obviously since The Simpsons future episodes are all speculative fantasies, they're all different every time,' Selman said. 'Marge will probably never be dead ever again. 'The only place Marge is dead is in one future episode that aired six weeks ago.' The outlet noted that over the show's expansive history, very few characters have had storyline deaths that were clearly intended as permanent; among them were Maude Flanders and Edna Krabappel. The character of Krabappel, Bart's teacher at school, was retired after the beloved voice actor who played the role, Marcia Wallace, died of cancer at the age of 70 in October of 2013. Marge's fate was questioned by fans following the airing of this past season's finale on May 18, titled Estranger Things. In the storyline of the episode, which was penned by Tim Long, siblings Bart and Lisa characters stopped watching The Itchy & Scratchy Show with one another. This led them to become distant and grow apart, and the rift between the two expanded with the (fictional passing of their mother) Marge. In a future sequence, Lisa was seen as the commissioner of the National Basketball Association, while Bart was the proprietor of a sketchy retirement community that his father Homer resided at. In the season 36 finale, Marge struck up a heavenly romance with Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, who is also thankfully alive and well They are still not speaking with one another at a time Lisa returns to Springfield to deliver a speech to the children at the elementary school she formerly attended. Lisa subsequently discovered a clip Marge recorded prior to her fictional death - telling her kids she wanted them to look after each other - which led to an emotional reconciliation between siblings. Marge observed all of the happenings from heaven, where she had struck up a romance with Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, who is also thankfully alive and well.
