Matt LeBlanc Divorce Bound
Actor Matt LeBlanc and his wife of three years, Melissa McKnight, have announced that they are getting a divorce.

LeBlanc’s rep Joe Libonati announced the split Thursday saying, "Melissa and Matt LeBlanc have decided to end their marriage of three years. The dissolution is amicable. They remain devoted parents and friends. For the sake of the family, they ask that their privacy be respected at this time." The couple has a two-year old daughter, Marine, and Melissa has two children from a previous marriage.
Actor Lou Diamond Phillips and his wife Kelly introduced LeBlanc, 38, and former model McKnight, 41, in 1997. The two reportedly hit it off and were married in 2003 after a five-year engagement. The wedding took place in Hawaii in front of 75 guests that included LeBlanc’s former co-stars Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, and Jennifer Aniston. They welcomed Marina in 2004 and at the time LeBlanc said, "I have two beautiful stepkids, as well as my new daughter, Marina. I’m so great that I keep waiting for the roof to fall in."
Some would say that the roof has fallen. With his broken marriage and the depressing ratings for his Friends spin-off Joey it seems that LeBlanc’s life is less than peachy right now. It has been reported that LeBlanc and McKnight officially split back in January shortly after he admitted to a night of debauchery at a British Columbia strip club. LeBlanc released a public apology to his wife and family for a "close encounter" with a "sexually aggressive" stripper. LeBlanc maintains he had too much to drink and was set up by the stripper, but did admit to the fact that he was a "fool" for letting himself be "led astray" by the stripper.
