Judge Mathis' Wife Linda Files for Divorce After 39 Years of Marriage

As a seasoned observer of human relationships, I must say that it’s always heartbreaking to witness the dissolution of a union, especially when it involves people who have shared a significant part of their lives together and raised beautiful children. The stories of AJ McLean and Kimberly Schlapman, Austin McBroom and Catherine Paiz, Fabrice Morvan and Kim Keshwar, and Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard, are testaments to the complexities and unpredictability of love.


Judge Mathis is facing a new ruling.

As a loyal follower, I find myself compelled to share that on August 22nd, I, Linda Yvette Mathis, took the step to file for divorce from my husband, Gregory Ellis Mathis Sr, who is well-known as a TV judge. This information was confirmed by court documents acquired by TopMob News.

Linda, who married in June 1985 and had four children since then, announced their separation on July 17. She is now pursuing a divorce from her 61-year-old husband. The reasons for their breakup are stated as “irreconcilable differences” in the official paperwork.

Linda is asking Gregory to provide spousal maintenance, and she’s asking for him to waive his right to require it from her.

TopMob News has reached out to reps for comment but has not heard back.

As Greg, commonly known as Judge Mathis, I’ve been a familiar figure on my self-named TV courtroom for an impressive 24 years until the year 2023, handling over 13,000 cases. However, my gavel hasn’t been hung up just yet! Last autumn saw the rebirth of my show with the title Mathis Court With Judge Mathis, where I continue to bring justice to those in need.

Linda and Gregory first crossed paths at Eastern Michigan University, where they later dated for a period of four years. After becoming engaged, they eventually got married. They have daughters Jade (age 39) and Camara (age 36), as well as sons Greg Jr. (age 35) and Amir (age 34).

The entire family appeared together on the TopMob reality show Mathis Family Matters in 2022.
