Amicable Celebrity Divorce
Frankie Muniz and Paige Price Announce Amicable Divorce, Prioritizing Co-Parenting and Shared Business
Key Points
Frankie Muniz is 40 and Paige Price Muniz is 33, highlighting a notable age difference within the couple as they navigate divorce.
Their relationship timeline includes meeting in 2016, engagement in November 2018, elopement in October 2019, and marriage in February 2020, illustrating years of building a life together before announcing the split.
Their son, Mauz Mosley Muniz, was born on March 22, 2021, making their family central to the divorce announcement.
The couple shared a joint video with their son dancing and a caption framing the split as transitioning to a deep friendship and co-parenting arrangement, including the line 'Who says you can't stay best friends with your baby momma?'
Frankie and Paige indicate they will continue to build Muniz Racing together and stay committed to collaborative parenting despite ending their marriage.
Frankie Muniz and Paige Price Muniz are divorcing after about a decade together, the couple announced July 1 in a joint social media post. Us Weekly and People both covered the split, which ends a relationship that began in February 2016 and a marriage that became official in 2020.
The announcement came with an unusual twist: a video of Frankie, Paige, and their 5-year-old son Mauz dancing together to the 2007 pop-punk song "Check Yes, Juliet." The caption read, "Who says you can't stay best friends with your baby momma?" The couple asked for privacy and said no further comment would follow.
A Decade Together Ends on Amicable Terms
Frankie, 40, and Paige, 33, met in February 2016 at a celebrity golf event in Indio, California. They got engaged in November 2018, eloped on a hike in October 2019, and held a formal wedding ceremony in Phoenix in February 2020. Their son Mauz was born on March 22, 2021, according to Extra TV.
In their joint statement, the couple said they had privately separated before going public. "Our relationship feels most natural and strong as a deep friendship and as co-parents," Frankie wrote. He also thanked Paige for "sacrificing so much" during his racing career, which keeps him on the road roughly 300 days a year, according to Geo News.
NASCAR Schedule Strained the Marriage Over Time
Muniz left acting to pursue professional racing. He now drives the No. 33 Ford F-150 for Team Reaume in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. The demanding travel schedule was a clear pressure point. As recently as April 2026, Muniz told reporters that Paige was "basically a single mother a lot of the time," according to Geo News.
The split was announced during an off-week between races, a timing that Athlon Sports noted was deliberate. The couple has pledged to keep Mauz rooted at home in Arizona, away from "uprooting him from school, friends and church," even as Frankie continues to travel for racing.
Muniz Racing Will Continue as a Joint Business
Despite ending their marriage, Frankie and Paige said they will "continue to build Muniz Racing together." Paige has been a constant presence at the track throughout his career. Their professional partnership is set to continue without interruption, according to Athlon Sports.
The divorce also lands during Muniz's high-profile return to Hollywood. The Hulu revival "Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair" premiered in April 2026. The amicable split appears unlikely to hurt the show's momentum, as the couple's tone has drawn praise rather than controversy, Extra TV reported.
Dancing Divorce Video Splits Public and Media Reaction
The cheerful video sparked debate online. RadarOnline called it "unhinged," pointing to the disconnect between the gravity of divorce and the jubilant tone of a family dance clip. The Mirror echoed that framing, calling the post "unusual" by celebrity standards.
But many fans pushed back with praise. Comments focused on the "mutual respect" on display and called the approach an "aspirational" model for co-parenting, according to RadarOnline. Crisis experts noted the dancing video and the line about staying "best friends" effectively shut down tabloid speculation about bitterness or infidelity before it could start.
