We didn’t see this coming.
Former “The Mentalist” star Simon Baker and wife Rebecca Rigg have split after more than two decades of marriage, having quietly separated in April 2020, People magazine is reporting.
“We remain close friends and our three children will always be the most important focus of our lives,” Baker and Riggs said a new joint statement.
Baker, 51, and Rigg, 53 — who met in the early 1990s and co-starred in the Australian soap “E Street” — are parents to children Stella, 27, Claude, 22, and Harry, 19.
Previously speaking with the weekly about marriage, Baker said in 2018, “We’re a team. Most of the time, 99 percent of the time, we’re really great friends … And I think the most important thing in our relationship is that we’re both able to be ourselves. I think it’s probably the most important thing in most relationships, isn’t it?”
