In a candid revelation, Judge Greg Mathis has opened up about his determination to reconcile with his wife, Linda Reese Mathis, following her recent filing for divorce. The couple, who have been married for nearly four decades, are currently navigating one of the most challenging periods of their lives. Judge Mathis, known for his no-nonsense approach on his television courtroom show, expressed his deep emotional turmoil in an exclusive interview with TMZ. “I’m not good,” he admitted, describing these days as the worst of his life. Despite the separation, Mathis remains resolute in his mission to win back his wife. “I’m gonna get my wife back,” he declared with unwavering determination. The legal documents filed by Linda indicate that the couple officially separated on July 17, 2024. Mathis explained that his frequent absences due to work commitments played a significant role in their marital discord. “I was gone for three weeks. That’s what July 17th meant,” he said. Despite the separation, the couple continues to live under the same roof and maintain a friendship. Mathis hopes that this proximity will provide him with the opportunity to

demonstrate his commitment to change. “We’re still in the same house and we’re maintaining a friendship, and I’m trying to get my wife back,” he shared. "Hopefully, I can show her while we’re there together before she completes the process" Judge Mathis has been introspective about the factors that led to their separation. He acknowledged that his career often took precedence over his marriage, a mistake he now regrets. “Don’t neglect your wife,” he advised other men, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing one’s spouse. He also addressed rumors of infidelity, clarifying that neglect, rather than unfaithfulness, was the root cause of their issues. While Linda has remained publicly silent about the separation, Judge Mathis is hopeful for reconciliation. He credits Linda for steering him onto a positive life path and remains optimistic that their nearly 40-year marriage can be salvaged. “I’m changing in hopes that she will,” he said, expressing his desire to mend their relationship. As Judge Mathis continues to fight for his marriage, his story serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of relationships and the enduring power of love and commitment.
