Actor Tony Danza, 55, and his wife, Tracy, announced Thursday that they are separating after 20 years of marriage, the actor’s rep, Jill Fritzo, told E! News.
The Danzas have two teenage daughters, Emily and Katie. Danza also has a son, Marc, from his first marriage and became a grandfather last year when Marc and wife Julie welcomed a son, Nicholas.
Marc broke the pregnancy news to his father on Danza’s eponymous talk show, which was canceled in May after two years on the air. The National Enquirer reports that the stress over the show’s cancellation may have contributed to the breakup of Danza’s marriage.
A former professional boxer, Danza’s breakout role as an actor came in 1978 playing boxer and cabbie Tony Banta on Taxi. He later starred as “manny” Tony Micelli for eight years on Who’s the Boss? Later this year he will appear in the thriller Aftermath, also starring Anthony Michael Hall and the late Chris Penn.
