Judge Greg Mathis has successfully reconciled with his wife, Linda Mathis, after she filed for divorce this past summer. The couple’s renewed connection was evident in a recent interview with TMZ, where their affectionate gestures—including Mathis planting a kiss on Linda’s cheek—affirmed that their romantic reunion is “definitely in full swing.”

Reflecting on the journey that led to their reconciliation, Mathis shared, “I think what happens sometimes in life, God has to break you down and lift you up and put you on another mission.” The renowned TV judge, celebrated for his advocacy work with at-risk youth, revealed that he now feels inspired to take on a new purpose: “As a street kid, went to jail, came out. I was on a mission to help street kids. And I have. For 25 years. Now, I’m on a mission to help Black love.” Demonstrating his commitment, Mathis added humorously, “And that’s not for television. We kiss all the time, y’all.”

When asked if he was “out of the doghouse,” Mathis left the answer to Linda, saying, “That’s for her to say, but I think so. But I’m not going to be arrogant enough and cocky enough to speak for her.” Linda’s own words hinted at the strength of their renewed bond: “We’re standing here right now together,” she noted, as Mathis concluded, “It speaks for itself.” This marked a significant change from August, when Mathis openly expressed regret for not prioritizing Linda and vowed to do everything in his power to win her back.

Their reconciliation isn’t the only joyful occasion for the Mathis family. Their son, Greg Mathis Jr., 35, recently celebrated his wedding to longtime partner Elliott Cooper in a stunning ceremony in Cabo San Lucas on October 21. The event featured a heartfelt detail: both fathers—Judge Mathis and Sergeant Calvin Cooper—officiated the proceedings.

Greg Jr. and Elliott, who began their relationship in 2016, are now envisioning a bright future together. The newlyweds are considering expanding their family and hosting a grand celebration in Los Angeles. “We’re talking more about kids as far as the next big chapter,” Elliott shared, “and then just continuing to really grow together.”

Judge Mathis’ Marriage on the Rocks: Linda Mathis Moves Forward with Divorce

Last week, Judge Mathis made headlines when he vowed to reconcile with his wife, Linda Mathis, after she filed to end their 39-year marriage. Despite his intentions, it appears that Linda is resolute in her decision to move forward with the divorce.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Linda Mathis, 61, has taken the next step in the dissolution of their marriage by hiring a process server to personally serve her husband with divorce papers. The process server delivered the paperwork to their $5 million home in Beverly Hills at 10:30 a.m., ensuring that Judge Mathis, 64, received the documents just one day after Linda filed for divorce on August 22.

The couple, who have been married for nearly four decades, are parting ways due to “irreconcilable differences,” as cited in Linda’s petition. She listed the official date of their separation as July 17. While their marriage has produced four adult children—Amir, Jade, Greg Jr., and Camara—the issues of custody and child support are not factors in the divorce proceedings.

In her filing, Linda has requested spousal support from Judge Mathis and asked that he be cut off from any financial support. As the legal process unfolds, it remains to be seen how the couple, who have shared a long and public relationship, will navigate the end of their marriage.

Judge Mathis, known for his long-running television show where he dispenses justice with a blend of sternness and humor, now finds himself facing a personal challenge off-screen. Whether his vow to reconcile will lead to any change in the proceedings is uncertain, but for now, Linda Mathis seems determined to move forward.

Vivica ugh, So your not gonna ever leave me alone hun? and what the fvck is judge Mathis doing in this mix[.] I’m done, Im done with all of you n****s,” he wrote. “LOL.” As for what Mathis is actually doing in the mix, he is executive producing the film. It is expected to premiere on BET+ later this year. Fox has yet to respond to 50’s comments but did share her excitement to be working on the project, last month.
