Dermot Mulroney Files for Divorce From Wife Prima Apollinaare, Asks for Spousal Support
The 61-year-old actor submitted a dissolution of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences, to a Los Angeles County Superior Court on June 21, documents obtained by TODAY.com show. He did not include an exact date of separation and simply wrote TBD.
Mulroney and Apollinaare, a musician, tied the knot on December 9, 2010. They share two children together: 17-year-old Mabel Ray Mulroney and 15-year-old Sally June Mulroney.
In the documents, the 'Chicago Fire' star requested joint legal and physical custody of their daughters.
He is also asking the court to terminate spousal support for Apollinaare and grant him spousal support, instead. Their division of assets and property will be determined at a later date.
In addition to his daughters, Mulroney is a father to 26-year-old son Clyde Mulroney, whom he shares with ex-wife and actor Catherine Keener. The two actors were married from 1990 to 2007.
Mulroney and Apollinaare appeared together on the Fox game show 'We Are Family' in February 2024, according to Entertainment Weekly. Apollinaare participated in the Season 1 finale of the show, which highlighted the singing talents of celebrity relatives as contestants guessed their true identities.
In the episode, Apollinaare performed 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow' by The Shirelles before her husband secretly joined her for a duet of 'Islands in the Stream' by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. Apollinaare's identity was revealed later in the episode when Mulroney came out on stage and sang with her again.
Speaking about their time on the show, Mulroney told EW, 'It was such an amazing phone call to get that the show reached out to us. They knew Prima's music and put together that we are this sort of secret couple even though we've been together for 20 years. Kind of a stealth Hollywood couple. So it really works perfectly for this show.'
Apollinaare said they agreed to be on 'We Are Family' when they learned it featured contestants like nurses and first responders who could win money.
'We both like to do karaoke together and we both like music so much. It was actually, for me, it was really an amazing experience to be on television and singing. Of course with my husband, I play with him all the time in the house,' she shared.
Late last year, Mulroney booked a starring role on 'Chicago Fire,' which films in the Windy City, as Chief Dom Pascal. The show wrapped its 13th season in May.

'ChatGPT handled my travel plans - one AI mistake meant I missed my flight'
A Spanish couple was on the verge of cancelling the trip of their dreams to South America over a silly mistake: trusting ChatGPT to give them the latest travel information. A couple almost missed their dreamy vacation to Puerto Rico after relying on ChatGPT for the latest travel information. Well, it seems that even ChatGPT can make mistakes and cost us a holiday worth thousands of pounds. That's what happened to Spanish influencer Mery Caldass and her partner, who were making their way to Puerto Rico but got stopped at the check-in desk for missing travel documentation. Mery and her boyfriend were heading to the Piña Colada island to attend one of Bad Bunny's exclusive residence shows in his home country before heading to Europe and Asia. The singer is performing a total of 30 shows for his 'No Me Quiero Ir De Aquí' residency, which runs from July 11 to August 24, 2025. However, tears of excitement quickly turned into a moment of desperation. Mery's story comes as British passport holders were urged to do one important thing before October 12. READ MORE: 'I tried Fox's new pistachio flavour biscuits - there's one thing you need to know' In the now-viral TikTok video, which has over 16k views, Mery is bawling her eyes out and walking around the airport, while her boyfriend tries to console her. Mery explained that she had asked if the couple needed a visa to travel to Puerto Rico, and ChatGPT said they didn't. Speaking in Spanish, she said: 'Look, I always do a lot of research, but I asked ChatGPT and they said no.' For more stories like this subscribe to our weekly newsletter, The Weekly Gulp, for a curated roundup of trending stories, poignant interviews, and viral lifestyle picks from The Mirror's Audience U35 team delivered straight to your inbox. Although Spanish passport holders don't require a visa to travel to Puerto Rico, they do need an Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA). However, the couple relied on the artificial intelligence's words without triple-checking it. To add some comedy into a moment of frustration, Mery accused ChatGPT of holding a grudge against her. 'I don't trust that one anymore, because sometimes I insult him. I call him a b*****d, you're useless, but inform me well… That's his revenge,' she laughed whilst explaining in between tears. In the end, Mery and her boyfriend were able to buy another flight to Puerto Rico and enjoy Bad Bunny's concert. Although it was a scare, it served as a lesson to the couple: don't let ChatGPT be in charge of your travel plans. What is an ESTA? An ESTA is a mandatory electronic authorisation for citizens of certain countries travelling to the United States. This allows visitors to enter the country for tourism or business purposes for up to 90 days without needed an actual visa. Since Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, those from Visa Waiter Program (VWP) countries wishing to visit the country will need an approved ESTA to enter. You can apply for it on the official U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) website here. And before you ask, yes, British passport holders do need one.

Two Doors Down star shares update on BBC show's return – and there's a major twist
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TWO Doors Down star Doon Mackichan has revealed the show is finally set for a stage special after years of rumours. The actress, who plays boozy neighbour Cathy in the hit BBC comedy, dropped the bombshell news as the cast wrapped filming for a Christmas special. 2 The cast recently filmed a Christmas special. Credit: Steve Welsh 2 Doon is excited at the prospect of a live show. Credit: BBC Speaking at a Smack the Pony reunion at the Edinburgh Fringe, the 63-year-old admitted the popular programme was unlikely to continue on TV, but that they'd soon be hitting the OVO Hydro in Glasgow. She said: 'We've just shot the Christmas special for Two Doors Down. "I don't think we're going to do any more, but it looks like we're going to do a live show next year at the Hydro, so that's very exciting.' The festive episode - written by Gregor Sharp - came after doubts over the show's future following the sudden death of co-writer Simon Carlyle aged 48 in 2023. He always wanted to see the antics of the residents of Latimer Crescent transferred to the stage and it now looks likely that they'll honour his dream. Doon previously said: 'I tend to think it would be better to do a live show as a goodbye. 'I don't think it's that easy to do a series. "Simon and Gregor used to sit together for about six months and write it. "It's an incredible amount of work and it takes the magic of those two together. 'It's been really hard for Gregor to do it and there has been such pressure on him.' Elaine C Smith reveals the most requested Two Doors Down quotes she gets from the show's fans Two Doors Down launched in 2013 and seven series have been broadcast on the BBC. Other cast members including Jonathan Watson, Alex Norton, Elaine C Smith, Arabella Weir, Kieran Hodgson, Joy McAvoy and Graeme 'Grado' Stevely will all be returning for the Christmas special. Rab C. Nesbitt star Smith, 67, who plays foul-mouthed Christine, first mentioned plans for a live version of the show two years ago when they were put on hold following Carlyle's passing. She said: 'That would be the perfect tribute to Simon.'

Booker Prize winner James Kelman says Scottish writers 'too timid' because they are 'made to feel bitter'

Scottish writers are 'too timid' because they are made to feel bitter and as if they cannot let go of the past, Booker Prize winning author James Kelman has warned. Glasgow-born Mr Kelman, who won the Booker in 1994 with How Late It Was, How Late, told an audience at the Edinburgh International Book Festival the 'depth' of Scottish language and culture had been 'destroyed by an imperial force'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Mr Kelman said his work is no longer published in the UK, which he said was indicative of the situation surrounding Scottish culture. He said at the event on Sunday that he believed Scottish writers were too timid because they were made to feel "bitter" or as if they could not forget history. In response to a question from an audience member about the future of Scots and Gaelic in literature following the passing of the Scottish Languages Bill last month, Mr Kelman said: 'I'm not sure how it's going to go. I'm no longer published here, so you can say that how things have been over the last ten years is reflected in the speaker today. I've not been published in England since 2012.' James Kelman was speaking at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Mr Kelman said his work was now published by a small, left-wing press in the US. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He said: 'There's a continual push to sanitise ordinary language as it's used by ordinary people. Nothing's changed in that sense. Sometimes I do feel as if some Scottish writers are being too timid. Sometimes it's because they're always made to feel as if they're bitter or 'why don't you forget about that?'. 'Or as though you're going to confuse the British bourgeoisie with being English or something. It's like 'no, we're past that really'. We had these issues in the mid 18th century, we can go beyond that.' Mr Kelman added: 'The issue with language is if you're not allowed to use a language in your culture, then it's dead. That's what's happened across the world just now. How many languages have been destroyed in, say, the African continent and parts of Asia? How many languages were just killed and destroyed and not allowed?' He referred to a previous anecdote about his Gaelic-speaking grandmother, whom he says he mocked as a child. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad James Kelman spoke openly about his Gaelic-speaking grandmother | Getty Images 'The glaring example is my grandmother and how as kids we all made a fool of it,' he said. 'When I was a kid, Gaelic speakers were ridiculed. That's not long ago. You can't explore your own language.' The Booker Prize winner gave the example of 'Glasgow slang', citing words such as 'polis' and 'huis', which come from Norse origins. He said he had started to spell the word 'huis' with 'uis' in his writing. 'My editor said 'you can't spell it that way, it's hoose'. He said 'that's Glasgow slang'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'You have to remember, the so-called Glasgow slang is actually different forms of Gaelic and it's also Norse. It's so glaringly Norse. Why the hell are we always being told that 'dour' is slang? That 'polis' is slang? All of the words we know are actually Norse.
