John Mulaney Divorce

Following his stint in rehab, comedian John Mulaney and his artist partner of six years, Anna Marie Tendler, are divorcing.

Mulaney applied for a divorce from Tendler three months ago, according to sources. Mulaney checked himself into rehab for 60 days late last year after dealing with alcohol and substance addiction.

“John will not have any further comment as he continues to concentrate on his rehabilitation and getting back to work,” a spokeswoman for Mulaney told Page Six, adding, “John will not have any further comment as he continues to focus on his recovery and getting back to work.”

“I am heartbroken that John has agreed to end our marriage,” Tendler, an artist who performs in a variety of mediums and is a master’s nominee in NYU’s Costume Studies programme, said via her spokesperson.

“As he continues his healing, I wish him strength and success.”

Page Six exclusively revealed in December that the 38-year-old “Big Mouth” actor checked into a Pennsylvania detox centre for 60 days of recovery for drug and alcohol abuse. He left the facility in February and began outpatient treatment.

“John is currently in outpatient recovery treatment after completing 60 days in recovery. He’s doing well, but he’s not quite able to go back to work yet,” a source told Page Six at the time.

Mulaney then revealed his first series of tour dates since spending time in rehab earlier this month. From May 10 to 14, the comedian will do a five-day residency at Manhattan’s City Winery called “John Mulaney: From Scratch.”

And if every performance is sold out, viewers will also sign up for a “wait list.” A “vaccine or negative COVID test is required” to attend, according to the venue.

In 2018, John Mulaney and Anna Marie Tendler walked the red carpet.

In the past, the former “Saturday Night Live” blogger has been open about his struggles with drugs and alcohol. In his stand-up shows and interviews, he also addressed his sobriety and the problems that lead up to it.

Mulaney admitted in a 2019 interview that he started drinking at the age of 13. He admitted, “I drank for publicity.” “At 12, I was really outgoing, and then I wasn’t. I was at a loss for what to do. And I got drunk and became even more hilarious.”

In an Esquire cover story, he admitted that his alcohol caused him to begin using drugs. Though he never enjoyed smoking marijuana, he admits he “loved” cocaine and experimented with prescription drugs.

Mulaney and Tendler allegedly met in the late 2000s on a group trip to Martha’s Vineyard, which the comedian has often mentioned in his stand-up shows.
