- Actor pursuing separation from spouse.

Hey there! Let's chat about Steve Guttenberg, the awesome actor known for his roles in "Police Academy" and "Three Men and a Baby."

In a shocking turn of events, Steve (66) has decided to call it quits on his marriage with Emily Smith, his wife of six years. According to sources like People magazine, the divorce petition was submitted on April 4, 2025, at the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason.

Steve has agreed to fork over some spousal support to Emily, but the specifics, like the exact date of the separation, remain unclear for now. Interestingly, the couple had a prenuptial agreement in place, which covers the division of their property and responsibilities, ensuring both parties will foot their own legal fees.

A Whirlwind Romance and "The One"

Steve and Emily, a TV reporter 19 years his junior, tied the knot in Malibu, California, in 2019, after a romantic rendezvous on a blind date a few years back and an engagement on Christmas 2016. In 2017, Steve himself revealed that Emily was "the one" who had made him a better person, as reported by The Daily Beast. Before Emily, Steve was hitched to actress Denise Bixler from 1988 to 1992.

A Real-Life Superhero during LA's Wildfires

Ever the hero, Steve made headlines in January when he stood his ground during the devastating wildfires in and around Los Angeles. Despite the chaos, Steve chose not to evacuate but instead stayed in his Pacific Palisades neighborhood, assisting emergency services by helping move vehicles and clearing blockages.

He also teamed up with neighbors to collect and distribute essential supplies like food, heating devices, water, and more, helping those in need. Miraculously, Steve's own home was miraculously spared from the fire's wrath.
