On June 21, 2025, Dermot Mulroney filed for divorce from his wife, Prima Apollinaare, in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple married in December 2010 after starting their relationship in 2008 and share two daughters, Mabel Ray, 17, and Sally June, 15. Mulroney is representing himself in the proceedings and has requested joint physical and legal custody of their daughters, along with spousal support. He also asked that attorneys' fees be split with Apollinaare and the termination of the court's ability to award her financial support. Prima Apollinaare, a 51-year-old musician originally from Italy, had her career alongside their relationship and has been actively releasing music since 2017. Both Mulroney and Apollinaare share a deep appreciation for music, collaborating on various projects. Their love for music may have been one of the elements that initially brought them together during their relationship, which began shortly after the birth of their first daughter. They welcomed their second daughter before officially tying the knot. Dermot Mulroney, 61, is an actor known for his roles in notable films and television series including “My Best Friend's Wedding,” and appeared in several successful franchises such as “Mission: Impossible.” He was previously married to actress Catherine Keener from 1990 until their divorce in 2007, and they share a son. Following his marriage to Apollinaare, Mulroney continued to expand his involvement in television, recently joining the cast of “Chicago Fire” in 2024. This filing has raised questions regarding custody arrangements and spousal support, a situation that often complicates divorce proceedings, particularly when children are involved. The ongoing entertainment and music careers of both Mulroney and Apollinaare add a layer of complexity to the divorce process. As they navigate these challenges, it remains to be seen how the custody and financial aspects will be resolved as they proceed through legal channels.
