Danny & Rhea Are Separated

Danny and the mother of his kids started dating in 1971 after meeting at an off-Broadway play called "The Shrinking Bride." Rhea once revealed that she made the first move on the actor, and the two started dating shortly after and even moved in together.

They later starred alongside each other in the classic television show "Taxi," wherein they played love interests and eventually got hitched in real life in January 1982.

However, after 30 years of marriage and over 40 years together, Danny and Rhea decided to split and announced it in October 2012. However, they reconciled in March 2013.

Still, the movie stars parted ways again several years later in March 2017. A year later, in a March 2018 interview, the actress commented on her relationship with Danny, saying:

"We've been together a very long time, so there's a lot of love and history. [...] So why [ruin] that with the yucky things that come with a divorce?"

Danny's estranged wife also shared the same sentiments in another interview that same year. She was asked how often they communicate, and she said, "A lot," adding they had even talked that same day of the interview.

Rhea admitted that her relationship with Danny was in a much better place than the last years of their marriage because all the tension between them had dissipated. The mother of three acknowledged that things were difficult amid their split, especially the transition with their offspring. But that everyone now got along.

The "Cheers" star said in an April 2022 interview that she cherishes the relationship she has with her children more than anything, adding that if it was broken, she would be "beside" herself.

Asked why she and the father of her kids are not divorced, Rhea said, "What for?" adding they live in separate homes but continue to see each other. The four-time Emmy Award winner explained that they are all still a unit and continue to do things together as well as separately and that "it’s probably worked out for the best."
