Angie Harmon & Jason Sehorn split after 3 kids & 13 years of marriage
Just my opinion: I think Angie Harmon’s marriage has been on the rocks ever since she signed on to Rizzoli & Isles. Angie made such a big deal, years ago, about moving her family to North Carolina and wanting to raise her three daughters away from the liberal heathens in California. Then when she got Rizzoli & Isles and had to spend, like, eight months out of the year in LA filming the TV show, she never bothered moving her family back to LA. So her husband Jason Sehorn raised their girls in North Carolina while Harmon worked. I’m not saying she didn’t have the right to work and all of that, but I always side-eyed both Angie and Jason for not simply moving back to LA full-time. Well, guess what happened? All that time apart has led to the logical conclusion: they’re over.
Angie Harmon and Jason Sehorn are amicably separating after 13 years of marriage, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
“For the sake of their children, they ask for respect and privacy as they navigate this time in their lives,” her rep says.
Harmon, who stars in the TNT drama Rizzoli & Isles, and the former NFL player got engaged on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 1998, after Sehorn surprised Harmon by walking out onto the set and getting down on one knee. They went on to have three daughters: Finley, 11, Avery, 9, and Emery, 5. In 2011, Harmon, 42, spoke about the difficulties of splitting her time between Los Angeles, where her show is filmed, and Charlotte, North Carolina, where the family is based.
“We don’t get out Friday nights early enough to catch a flight home,” she told Your Tango. “So I’m here [in L.A.]. We sometimes meet in Texas, a 2½-hour flight for both of us. I miss my kids, so it’s hard, but my children are so understanding.”
The former Law & Order star also admitted she and Sehorn, 43, strived to keep their marriage strong despite the distance.
“You have to be really considerate of each other, really kind to each other,” she said. “It’s a lot of work.”
I feel sorry for them because I always got the impression that Jason and Angie were a real love match – they really seemed to adore each other back in the day. So, it’s sad when a couple that used to make sense can no longer make it work. Still… I never really understood the reticence for having your whole family in one place. It’s not like they were poor, you know? Angie and Jason could have easily based themselves in LA full-time and spent part of the year in North Carolina when Angie wasn’t working.
