Judge Greg Mathis’ persistence in winning his wife back is paying off.
As we previously reported, the star of TV’s court show “Mathis Court With Judge Mathis,” whose first name is Gregory, got served in mid-August when Linda Mathis filed for dissolution of their nearly 40-year marriage.
But recently, the TV judge has opened up about their relationship and says he’s confident they’ll be back on track soon.
Judge Mathis recently shared to TMZ that the two have been doing well in recent weeks and dropped a reassuring line: “We will be reconciled shortly.”
Mathis didn’t shy away from saying he hadn’t been making Linda a priority. In fact, the judge said one big change he’s made is staying home with her, cutting out all the things that used to take him away from their marriage.
“It’ll take a few more months for me to stay home,” he said. “I haven’t left home since the time I got in trouble with her. I put off all my speaking engagements around the country, so, I’m home.”
Greg and Linda, who were college sweethearts, got married in 1985, more than a decade before the premiere of “Judge Mathis,” which ran from September 1999 to May 2023. “Mathis Court With Judge Mathis” hit the air in earnest in September 2023.
Mathis, 61, is the longest-running Black male television host and second-longest-reigning arbitrator in courtroom TV history (behind Judith “Judge Judy” Sheindlin). In 2022, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The pair share four children Jade, 39, Camara, 36, Greg Jr., 35, and Amir, 34.
