Rhea Perlman removes wedding band after 30 years

Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman announced their divorce just 24 hours ago, but she is wasting no time in soldiering on as an independent woman.

Rhea Perlman was seen wandering around Los Angeles – minus her wedding ring.

The 64-year-old even managed a smile as she went about her day in simple attire, dressing comfortably in baggy black pants and a white distressed fabric T-shirt, with a token pair of shades.

The announcement that Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman were to split after 30 years of marriage shocked Hollywood this week.

But new reports suggest their union had been “on the rocks” for years – due to his chronic flirting.

A source told RadarOnline that 67-year-old Danny DeVito got a lot of female attention.

“Danny can be quite the flirt and because of his powerful status in Hollywood, he’s not ashamed to abuse his position and chat-up young, aspiring woman looking to make it in the industry,” said the source.

“Despite his reputation as a lovable, funny guy in movies and on TV, Danny’s actually quite the womanizer.

“And, like a lot of red-blooded males, if he sees an attractive girl in a coffee shop or walking down the street, he will give her the eye.

“After years of turning a blind eye to it, Rhea finally snapped. She had enough of his bad boy behavior and wanted an end to their marriage.

“The break-up has been on the cards for a long time, probably over 10 years, because they haven’t been happy for a long, long time.”

Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman announced their split on Monday. They have three children together, Lucy Chet, Grace Fan and Jacob Daniel.

The pair worked together on the classic Seventies sitcom Taxi and later appeared in the 1996 comedy film Matilda.
