Comedian John Mulaney and wife Anna Marie Tendler are divorcing after six years of marriage.

Mulaney, 38, entered a 60-day treatment programme for cocaine and alcohol abuse last year and has been an outpatient since February.

A spokesperson for Mulaney confirmed the divorce to Page Six, saying: “John will not have any further comment as he continues to focus on his recovery and getting back to work.”

Tendler said through a representative: “I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage. I wish him support and success as he continues his recovery.”
