Judge Mathis’ Wife, Linda, Files for Divorce

Judge Greg Mathis is back on the market. His wife, Linda Reese Mathis, filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Linda Mathis listed the date of their separation as July 17, 2024. She applied for spousal support and she asked the court to waive her requirement to pay spousal support to Mathis.

It is unclear if the couple had a prenuptial agreement in place.

Linda earned income in a reality TV series titled “Mathis Family Matters” on E! Network. The series aired after Mathis retired from his daytime Emmy Award-winning reality court show “Judge Mathis.”

In the TV series, Mathis said his marriage to Linda and his family were his greatest achievements.

“The star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is certainly my highest professional achievement,” he said. “But I got to say, it was really my family that was the foundation of my success. After coming out of the streets in Detroit, Linda allowed me to work 15 hours a day, 5, 6 days a week, so it’s that support that allowed me the success that you see.”

“Our love and support runs deep,” Linda Mathis added. “That’s how the Mathis family rolls.”

The couple met in college. They were married 39 years and shared four children, Jade, 39, Camara, 36, Greg Jr., 35, and Amir, 34.

In an interview, Mathis said he had a “wholesome family” who never fight.

“We are a whole family, a wholesome family,” he said. “We all have our flaws, but we don’t fight. Never have… If we have to fight, the answer is no [to returning].”

Linda agreed, adding, “Black families are great families and no, they’re not filled with inner fighting… We want to have a strong influence on our community and show that.”

However, sources say the final straw for Linda came when Mathis made derogatory remarks about Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in an interview in July.

The former criminal court judge called Harris “corrupt” and said she slept her way to the top. Sources say the ex couple had different opinions about Harris and politics in general.
