Courtney Thorne-Smith Takes a Final Bow in Her Marriage: What’s Next?

Former Melrose Place star Courtney Thorne-Smith has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Roger Fishman, after 18 years of marriage—just a moment, let me pour a little out for their happy couple goals. Thorne-Smith, now 57, cited “irreconcilable differences” in court documents and revealed they had actually separated back in September 2021. Who knew that staying married for almost two decades could lead to separations, conversations about mutual ground, and joint custody of their now 17-year-old son? Sounds a bit like a plot twist we’d expect in a soap opera!

In her divorce petition, not only is Thorne-Smith seeking joint custody of their son, Jacob, but she’s also waived her right to spousal support. Is she trying to be the ultimate sharer here, or did she just read an article on modern marriage that hit the mark? Either way, she’s coming at this split with a surprisingly level head. Meanwhile, let’s not forget this is her second rodeo with marriage; she previously had a brief marriage to geneticist Andrew Conrad back in 2000. It seems like the more things change, the more they stay the same in Hollywood.

One can’t help but wonder if Thorne-Smith will take time to reflect on her relationship history on her podcast, “Still the Place,” where she and her Melrose Place co-stars dive deep into their on-screen and off-screen romances. Will her office chair be a therapy couch as she shares all the juicy details? Whatever happens next, we can only hope she finds a plotline with a bit more joy. How do we feel about love in the spotlight—do we think it ever stands a chance?
