Steve Guttenberg and wife Emily Guttenberg are calling it quits after six years of marriage.
The Three Men and a Baby actor, 66, filed for divorce from Emily on Friday, April 4, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly.
Steve cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split, but didn’t identify the date of their separation. Instead, he wrote “TBD” under the date section of the docs. The Paper Empire star and his estranged spouse had a prenuptial agreement in place which, according to the filing, will dictate how “the community property assets and debts of the community, if any, should be divided.”
Steve agreed in his filing, which was submitted at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, to pay Emily spousal support. He asked the court that both parties pay their respective attorneys’ fees and costs moving forward.

The ‘80s icon, 66, crashed a live KTLA 5 news report on Tuesday, January 7, to share an “important announcement” with viewers. “Here on Palisades Drive, if anybody has a car and they leave […]
Us Weekly reached out to Steve for comment.
The actor met Emily, a news anchor, on a blind date in 2014 set up by WCBS-TV correspondent Scott Rapoport. The pair announced their engagement in December 2016 after celebrating Christmas together. “Yes, yes, yes,” Emily wrote via Facebook at the time.
“I don’t want to give these things a jinx, but she makes me a better person, which I really like. I have to up my game around her,” Steve gushed about his bride-to-be during a 2017 interview with the Daily Beast. “She’s a very classy lady. She creates a wonderful home, her value system is terrific, and her character and integrity, and sense of humor … she’s a really nice lady.”
2025 kicked off with a slew of celebrity breakups. Two months after first sparking split rumors, Jessica Simpson announced that she and Eric Johnson had called it quits after 10 years of marriage. “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” she told Us Weekly in a January 13 […]
Us confirmed in January 2019 that the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Malibu, California. Their matchmaker Rapoport, 64, was on hand to celebrate, according to photos he shared on social media.
“Here Comes The Bride #SweetStunningEm,” Rapoport tweeted at the time, sharing a snap of Emily in a white gown.
Prior to his relationship with Emily, Steve was married to model Denise Bixler from 1988 to 1992.
Earlier this year, Steve made headlines for his heroic actions amid the Los Angeles wildfires. In January, the actor crashed a live KTLA 5 news report to tell viewers that “if anybody has a car and they leave their car, leave the keys in the car so we can move your car so these firetrucks can get up Palisades Drive.”
Many soap opera stars have had messy breakups that resemble the plot of their respective shows. General Hospital star Steve Burton and then-wife Sheree Burton announced their split in May 2022. The pair, who share three children, McKenna, Jack and Brooklyn, called it quits after 23 years of marriage for a reason no one saw […]
He issued the “important announcement” in hopes of helping the first responders better access to affected areas. (Fires broke out throughout greater Los Angeles in January, forcing more than 200,000 people to evacuate their homes, destroying more than 18,000 structures and killing at least 30 people.)
“There are people stuck up there, so we’re trying to clear Palisades Drive,” Steve explained, noting he lived in the area but was worried about his friends being unable to safely evacuate. “There are families up there. There are pets up there. There are people who really need help.”
He reminded locals, “Don’t worry about your personal property. Just get out. Get your loved ones and get out. I have friends up there that can’t get out right now and they’ve been given evacuation orders.”
