Jace Downs/Crackle Ron Perlman Files for Divorce from Wife of 38 Years, 5 Months After He Was Seen Kissing Costar Though Ron and Opal have been separated since earlier this year, they didn’t make things official until Tuesday when the actor filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Court, citing irreconcilable differences. The documents state that Ron will pay spousal support to Opal if needed and that their assets and debts will be divided as separate property, with their shared property to be determined in trial. Ron married Opal on Valentine’s Day in 1981. The estranged couple has two children together: daughter Blake, 35, and son Brandon, 29. The last time the two were photographed together was in April 2018.
