Frankie Muniz has removed his initial announcement regarding his divorce. The former actor turned racecar driver, now 40, gained fame for his role in “Malcolm in the Middle” as a teenager. Muniz recently shared on social media that he and Paige Price are parting ways after six years of marriage.

After the first post showing the family dancing received mixed reactions, Muniz decided to delete it. Paige, who shares a five-year-old child with Frankie, defended him against negative comments, expressing disappointment in the way people reacted.

In response to the backlash, Paige wrote, “Frankie, I apologize for feeling the need to remove our family video due to harsh criticism. This world is tough! Divorce is never easy, but we are mature adults handling this together. It’s disheartening that people would judge us for that.”

Supporters also shared their thoughts, with one saying, “I’m grateful I saw the original post before it disappeared. It was lovely.” Another fan mentioned preferring the initial joyful announcement with the family dancing, while a third praised the family’s bond and expressed continuous support.

The original post featured Muniz and Paige, 33, dancing with their son to the song “Check Yes, Juliet” by We The Kings. The aerial view video captured their joyful dance from above. Muniz’s subsequent statement acknowledged the separation, stating their decision to end the marriage after a decade together.

He expressed gratitude towards Paige for her sacrifices and support, emphasizing their commitment to co-parenting and maintaining a strong friendship. Muniz highlighted their focus on their son’s well-being and requested privacy during this transition.
