Linda Mathis, the wife of television personality Judge Greg Mathis, has formally moved to dismiss her divorce filing, signaling a reconciliation after a highly publicized separation.
Court records show that Linda Mathis requested a dismissal without prejudice earlier this week, effectively ending the divorce proceedings that began in 2024.
The filing marks a significant turn in a relationship that spans nearly four decades. The couple married in 1985 and share four adult children.
A brief split after decades together
Linda Mathis initially filed for divorce in August 2024, citing irreconcilable differences. The filing came shortly after the couple separated in July of that year.
The move surprised many observers. The Mathises had long been viewed as a stable partnership, both publicly and within entertainment circles.
Despite the legal action, the separation proved short-lived. By November 2024, the couple had reconciled and began working toward repairing their marriage.
Their reunion later became public during a joint appearance on “The Tamron Hall Show.” There, Judge Mathis spoke candidly about the emotional toll of the split.
“I’d do anything to get my mother back,” he said. “So I did anything to get my wife back.”
Linda Mathis also described the process of rebuilding their relationship. “We learned each other again,” she said. “We enjoyed our time doing that each and every day.”
Reconciliation made official
Although the couple had already resumed their relationship, the dismissal formally closes the legal chapter of their separation.
Legal experts note that a dismissal “without prejudice” allows for future action if necessary. However, in this case, it is widely viewed as a sign of stability moving forward.
The Mathises’ marriage has endured significant public attention over the years. Judge Mathis rose to national prominence through his long-running courtroom television show, which aired for more than two decades.
In recent years, he has continued his television career while maintaining a visible family presence in media projects.
The couple’s reconciliation has drawn positive reactions from fans. Many had expressed hope for a reunion following news of the initial divorce filing.
With the dismissal now finalized, the Mathises appear to have fully recommitted to their marriage.
