Popular MAGA comedian and actor Rob Schneider is in the headlines this week, and it’s not good news for him.
TMZ reported Wednesday that Schneider’s wife of 15 years, Patricia, filed for divorce in Arizona last month. The outlet reported that the two, who have two daughters — Miranda, 13, and Madeline, 10 — were married in January of 2010 in Los Angeles and had been living in Arizona.
Patricia, who is a Mexican actress and producer, said that the marriage was irretrievably broken with no possibility of reconciliation, according to TMZ.
Schneider, 62, is best known for movies such as “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo,” in 1999 and his time on “Saturday Night Live” from 1990-through-1994. Most recently he has been active on social media supporting MAGA talking points.
TMZ said this is Schneider’s third divorce.
The divorce is not the first matter in Schneider’s private life to play out in public across the past couple of years. Country music singer Elle King, a daughter from a previous marriage, made some heartbreaking accusations in 2024.
While appearing on the “Dumb Blonde” podcast with Bunnie Xo, King said that she would “go for like four or five years without talking to my dad.”
“If I would ever spend a summer with my dad, it would be on a movie set,” she said. “I would just get lost in the shuffle.”
Schneider is an outspoken right-wing and anti LGBTQ figure on X, and King told Bunnie she disagrees with her father’s stances on those issues, according to Variety.
“You are talking out of your (expletive) and you’re talking (expletive) about drag and you know, anti-gay rights,” she said. “And it’s like, get (expletive).”
She also revealed more apparently scarring interactions with Schneider.
“I was like a really, really heavy child,” she said. “My dad sent me to fat camp… and then I got in trouble one year because I sprained my ankle and didn’t lose any weight.”
She said Schneider would make her wear sweaters to hide her tattoos as well.
“He’s just not nice,” she said. “You can want someone to change so much. You can’t control anyone else’s actions and you can’t control people’s feelings. All you can control is how you react and what you do with your feelings.”
