John Mulaney is seeking a divorce from his wife of six years. Fans of the couple have flooded Twitter with sad musings like 'love is dead' while some are worried about who gets to keep the dog

John Mulaney and Anna Marie Tendler's marriage was reported to be on the rocks sometime in April 2021. Tendler had deactivated her Instagram account which set the rumor mills buzzing, but those predictions were fuelled further as she returned to the app but this time she dropped the 'SNL' alum's last name. These rumors proved to be true on Monday, May 10, afternoon as they announced their divorce and it's Mulaney who has filed the divorce petition. 

Mulaney's spokesperson confirmed the divorce and said, "John will not have any comment as he continues to focus on his recovery and getting back to work." Tendler on the other hand didn't issue a long comment but she laid out how she was feeling in the aftermath of her six-year-old marriage coming to an end.  “I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage. I wish him support and success as he continues his recovery," Tendler said through her spokesperson.
