They’ve got each other back! Leah Remini and her husband, Angelo Baganhave been by each other’s side through good times and bad.
The couple met in 1996 at a Cuban restaurant and nightclub. The King of queens star revealed that the first interaction with her future husband was “love at first sight” in a 2010 interview with Red book.
After seven years of dating, Remini and Pagan walked down the Las Vegas aisle at the Four Seasons Hotel in July 2003. Her husband on screen, Kevin Jamesattended the poolside wedding.
Almost a year after her marriage, the Kevin can wait alum welcomed her first child, daughter Sofia, with Pagan. Sofia was born in July 2004, just one day after Remini’s birthday. The Swordfish actor, for his part, is also the father of three sons – Alex, Nicholas and Angelo Jr. — which he shares from previous relationships.
When the Dancing with the stars alum met and fell in love with Pagan, she was an active member of the Church of Scientology. Ten years after their union, she and Pagan publicly left the church in 2013. Remini’s mother, Vicky Marshall, follow the. Since her family’s departure, the former talk show host has been candid about her decision to leave and her husband’s support for the choice.
“Free at last free at last, thank god almighty…,” the Last ship actor tweeted in October 2015, referring to his wife’s conversation with Dan Harris during her 20/20 special.
After the family left the church, they launched their own reality TV show called Leah Remini: It’s all relative. The Good looking actress created and produced the 2014 TLC series that followed the daily life of Remini and her family for two seasons.
After the cancellation of Remini’s reality series, the Old-fashioned actress wrote a memoir titled Troublemaker: Hollywood and Scientology Survive. After the release of the tell-all, Pagan took to social media to share how proud he was of his wife and her hard work.
“So proud of @leahremini!” he gushed via Twitter. “Brave, daring and beautiful. I’ve got your back baby!!”
In August 2022, the couple sent their daughter Sofia to college, but she returned home after failing. The following year, Sofia dropped out of school and moved for a second time, and her parents helped her settle in.
“You would think the second time would be easier, but Angelo and I are even more of a mess now,” Remini reflected after the whole ordeal in February 2023.
