Rhea Perlman Says She ‘Wishes’ She, Danny DeVito Were Still Together

In a recent interview with People, Rhea Perlman revealed she sometimes regrets her split from Danny DeVito.

Perlman and DeVito were married 30 years before they split in October 2012. They reconciled but broke up again in 2017.

They never filed for divorce and have now been married 40 years, and Perlman says they still have an amicable relationship.

“It’s probably worked out for the best,” Perlman told People. “Sometimes I wish we were still together because those were the glory days, but these are other kinds of glory days.”

“We’re still separated,” she said. “But we see each other often, and we’re still a family. We can do things together, we can do things separately. I’m really, really glad that Danny and I were able to navigate some rough days to be able to have this different kind of relationship. I think it’s pretty rare, but we agree on so many things that it makes sense.”

They have three children together – Lucy, 39, Grace, 37, and Jack, 34.

Perlman played Carla on ‘Cheers’ from 1982 to 1983. She credits the show for her career and says “it was the best job in the world.”

But kids have always been the most important thing in her life.

“‘Cheers’ might have been everything in the beginning of my career, but family is everything, everything. If my relationships with my children were strained, I would be beside myself,” she said.
