Television personality Judge Greg Mathis recently shared personal insight on his marriage, detailing the cause for his divorce with his wife Linda Reese, who filed for divorce on Aug. 22, with their separation starting on July 27 citing irreconcilable differences, according TMZ.

Judge Mathis was approached at the airport by TMZ to discuss what led to the relationship ending.

“Maybe I can be a cautionary tale,” Judge Mathis said. “Don’t neglect your wife”

Reflecting on his time he spent filming in Los Angeles and hanging with his friends, Mathis admitted that he promised his wife to be committed to staying home but he never did. His career, he says prevented him from being with his wife .

Currently Mathis remains hopeful that he can reconcile with his wife, promising that he’s going to win her back. “We’re in the same house maintaining a friendship. I’m trying to get my wife back. I have to show that, though,” he said.

When questioned about the rumors of infidelity, Mathis addressed the speculations.

“Neglect can cause suspicion if you’re gone as much as I am,” he said which was the statement that launched tweets about what people believe to be the reason Mathis is going through a divorce.

“Judge Mathis left for three weeks and surprised he came back to divorce papers???Out frolicking with everyone but your wife??? Come on man,” one tweet stated on platform X.

Additional tweets came into the Judge’s defense, stating that this a difficult time for him and others supported him hoping that he does repair his marriage.

“Women will never understand what divorce does to a man. That’s why they can throw divorce parties, take his money and go on through life like nothing happened,” another tweet stated.
