Leah Remini Discusses Her 21-Year Journey with Angelo Pagán

Leah Remini Reflects on Marriage

For 21 years, Leah Remini and Angelo Pagán have been an on-and-off-screen pair. Married since 2003, they’ve often shared the screen in several of her sitcoms and a TLC reality TV series. Remini and Pagán announced in a joint Instagram post on Aug. 29 that they were splitting up. “This decision came after a lot of thought and care, and as hard as divorce is, we are approaching this with a positive outlook because we know it’s what’s best for us,” the couple wrote alongside two then-and-now pictures of themselves together.

Key Moments in Their Relationship

As their relationship moves into a new phase, let’s look back at what we know about Remini’s soon-to-be ex. Angelo Pagán and Leah Remini shared the screen. They weren’t quite co-stars, but the husband-and-wife duo were often on set together. Like Remini, Pagán has been a performer for most of his life: The pair met when he was performing at the Cuban club/restaurant El Floridita in Los Angeles in 1996, something Remini told Redbook magazine in 2010 was “love at first sight.”

Once he and Remini connected, there always seemed to be a guest role for him on her shows. Over the years, he appeared sporadically on CBS’ The King of Queens.
