Frankie Muniz and wife Paige Price Muniz announce split after 10 years together

Frankie Muniz and wife Paige Price Muniz have announced their marriage is over after 10 years together. 

The former Malcolm in the Middle star turned professional race car driver, 40, shared the “life update” on Instagram to confirm their split alongside a wild video of them dancing with their son. 

The bizarre video, which included footage of the family as they danced around their lounge room was shared as a joint post on their Instagram accounts and on X.

At one point Frankie even picked up their son to use him as a guitar.

But fans were confused when the post was swiftly removed by the former child star and replaced with a family photo.

Following the deletion, Paige came to her ex’s defence in the comments of the new post.

“Frankie, I am so sorry that you felt the need to delete an old fun video of our family because people are so cruel to you,” she wrote.

“This world is so f---ed... divorce is bad, sure – it’s not like we’re excited about it... but we’re two adults who know how to be on the same team. I can’t believe people could scrutinise that.”

Paige also posted on her own Instagram Stories, seemingly referencing the incident with a quote over a black and white photo of the ocean: “The internet is a scary place. I wish you all a kinder sea,” she wrote.

Following the dance video, the Muniz’s shared a post making clear the split was amicable.

“🚨 Life update! 🚨 Following a period of separation that we kept private, Paige and I have decided to move forward with ending our marriage,” they captioned a joint post on Instagram. 

“After 10 beautiful years together, we’ve grown in ways that made us realise our relationship feels most natural and strong as a deep friendship and as co-parents. We share an incredible son who remains the centre of our world, and we’re both happier, stronger parents because of the love and growth we’ve shared.” 

Frankie said he was “endlessly grateful to Paige for everything she’s done for me and our family” and noted she put her dreams on hold so he could chase his. 

The former child star admitted she had always been his biggest supporter. 

“That foundation of respect and friendship isn’t going anywhere. We’re excited to keep building Muniz Racing together and to co-parent our boy with the same teamwork and love we’ve always had,” the post continued. 

“We’re closing one chapter with gratitude and opening the next with bright futures ahead, for us as individuals and especially for our son.

“Thank you for the love and support.” 

Frankie finished the post noting that neither of them will be speaking further on the split and he asked for “respect for our families privacy” during this time. 

The joint statement about the end of their marriage was shared alongside a snap of Frankie, Paige and their son Mauz trackside. 

Frankie and Paige first crossed paths in 2016, at the annual Frank Sinatra Celebrity Invitational, which is held in Indio California. 

They went on to get engaged in November 2018 and eloped in October 2019. 

The couple had another wedding in February 2020. 

They share one child together, Mauz, who was born in March 2021. 

Just a couple of months ago the couple made their most recent red carpet appearance together. 

Frankie and Paige posed happily together at the New York City premiere of Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, in April.
