LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bam Margera's estranged wife Nikki Boyd has requested a legal separation from the troubled celebrity after nine years of marriage. 'Jackass' actor Margera, 43, and Boyd, 38, were married in October 2013 and have a son named Phoenix, 5, together.

The couple separated in September 2021 and Boyd is said to have cited irreconcilable disagreements as the cause of the couple's marital breakup, as per TMZ. She has sought for both physical and legal custody of Phoenix, with Margera being allowed supervised visits as long as they take place in Los Angeles County and he covers the associated costs. Boyd is reportedly also asking for spousal support.

'You're dying, brother'

Margera has a history of substance abuse issues and was accused by his friend Steve-O of relapsing, as per Daily Mail. Steve-O said in a heartbreaking Instagram post that he was "bracing" for Margera to die. A conversation between the two on Instagram on July 2022 exposed the relationship's flaws, with Steve-O accusing Margera of slacking off and saying, "You're dying, brother, and it sucks that I can't do anything to save you."



 

In a since-deleted Instagram comment, Steve-O begged Margera to get clean for his young son. "Bam, last night you had your five year old son with you on stage at my show, and you were blessed with the chance to spend another day or two with him, then as soon as you left my show, you stayed up all night getting loaded enough to think it was a good idea to post more vile nonsense like this," Steve-O allegedly wrote in a comment to a post by Margera.

He continued, "I hope you understand how awful that is. You say you want to have a relationship with your son, but your actions guarantee the exact opposite will happen. I brought you on tour with me in hopes that I could get you to see what's possible for you if you choose recovery. I've tried everything I can, but I can't force you get honest and do the work of recovery." Crushingly, he concluded, "I wish you could know how much I've hated feeling braced for news of your death, but you're making it clear that I have no other choice. You're dying brother, and it sucks that I can't do anything to save you."



 

'I've been bracing myself for that f***in' awful news and I can't stand it'

According to footage obtained by TMZ, Steve-O shocked his audience last weekend at the Elsinore Theatre in Salem, Oregon, when he invited professional skateboarder Margera on stage to work on his material with him. Steve-O opened up to the audience and made a heartfelt speech to Bam, "It's become extremely uncomfortable to be braced for the news of your death, Bam. I've been bracing myself for that f***in' awful news and I can't stand it, man."

"So I wanted you to come on tour, stay close to me, see what's possible, help you put together an act of your own. You've got this arc," Steve-O continued. "All these funny bits and jokes and stories. It all doesn't mean sh** if it doesn't have a happy ending where you f***in' come out the other end happy and healthy and a good father and f***in' thriving in your career. And that is what I want for you brother," said Steve-O, concluding the powerful speech.
