Hollywood’s latest celebrity divorce has been announced. Dermot Mulroney is officially calling it quits with his wife, Prima Apollinaare. The My Best Friend’s Wedding star filed to dissolve their 15-year marriage on June 21, citing irreconcilable differences with some interesting requests.
People reports court documents reveal Dermot Mulroney, 61, is seeking joint physical and legal custody of their two teenage daughters, Mabel Ray, 17, and Sally June, 15. Mulroney, who appears to be representing himself, interestingly asked the court to terminate Prima Apollinaare’s right to spousal support.
However, he is requesting support for himself. Mulroney also wants them to split their legal fees and declared that any earnings made during their marriage should be considered community property. The official date of separation is still listed as TBD.
Prima Apollinarre and Dermot Mulroney began dating in 2008 and welcomed their first daughter. They later tied the knot in December 2010 and had their second child not long after. The former couple was known to keep a low profile, rarely appearing together on red carpets.

However, their bond over music has always been front and center. While Mulroney is a professional cellist. Apollinaare, born Tharita Cutulle in Italy, has made a name for herself as a singer-songwriter. Throughout their marriage, the couple mostly stayed out of the spotlight. However, Apollinaare did support Mulroney at events like the SXSW Festival in 2022.
When it comes to their children, Dermot Mulroney revealed wanting to offer the arts as often as possible while raising their children. “I try to keep the arts in front of them, whether it’s music or even just museum trips. I don’t expect anything of them. It’s hard enough for everyone just to get their homework done at night.“
The former couple even collaborated professionally. Apollinaare was once listed as a producer on a film that Mulroney was set to direct in 2010. Despite their creative connection, the couple now seems headed for a split that may involve a custody and financial battle.
Dermot Mulroney and Prima Apollinaare’s once-private love story has officially unraveled after 15 years. With divorce papers filed, joint custody on the table, and spousal support requests already sparking tension, it’s clear this split won’t be a quiet fade-out.
