Frankie Muniz didn’t wait for a public appearance to deliver the news. On Wednesday, July 1, the actor and race car driver posted a “life update” on X with a photo showing him alongside Paige Muniz and their 5-year-old son, Mauz.
In the message, Muniz said he and Paige are separating after six years of marriage, following “a period of separation that we kept private.” He wrote that they’ve decided “to move forward with ending our marriage,” while emphasizing that their son remains at the center of their world.
“After 10 beautiful years together. we’ve grown in ways that made us realize our relationship feels most natural and strong as a deep friendship and as co-parents. ” Frankie Muniz said in the statement. “We share an incredible son who remains the center of our world. and we’re both happier. stronger parents because of the love and growth we’ve shared.”.
He also offered gratitude toward Paige, writing that he is “endlessly grateful” for the memories they created together. Muniz said she “put her own dreams on hold so I could chase mine. ” and that she’s been “always my biggest supporter.” He added that the foundation of “respect and friendship isn’t going anywhere. ” and said they’re “excited to keep building Muniz Racing together and to co-parent our boy with the same teamwork and love we’ve always had.”.
Muniz ended his post by thanking fans for their support and asking for privacy as the family moves through the transition. “We’re closing one chapter with gratitude and opening the next with bright futures ahead. for us as individuals and especially for our son. ” he wrote. “Thank you for the love and support. We both choose to not entertain any questions on this matter. Please respect our families privacy during this time.”.
The couple’s timeline stretches back further than the marriage itself. Frankie Muniz and Paige started dating in 2016, got engaged in 2018, wed in 2019, and welcomed their son two years later.
Earlier this year, Muniz had spoken about the strain of balancing his work with family life. In an interview with Us Weekly, he said it was “very hard” to juggle his schedule, adding, “Honestly, my wife is a saint.” He described Paige as someone “sacrificing so much for me to live my dream.”
He also addressed what it means to be away from home—nearly 300 days a year—due to his racing and acting career. “It’s hard to uproot them and take them all over the place,” he said. “I want my son to have a routine and his school and his friends and go to church. I’m not going to lie, it’s been very, very, very tough.”.
Muniz acknowledged that his schedule often left Paige handling things like a “single mother,” and he said he knew he needed to do better. “I’m going to say this right now, I have to be better than I currently am,” he said. “I know that 100 percent [my family] deserves it.”
Now, with his July 1 announcement, Muniz is placing their future together in a new framework—friendship and co-parenting—while asking the public to respect the privacy of Paige, their son, and their family as they close this chapter.
