Tom Segura is finally letting fans in on his feelings about his bombshell divorce.
The comedian opened up about coming to terms with the end of his marriage to Christina Pazsitzky after being together for about two decades. This comes after she addressed the elephant in the room, highlighting their dedication to their kids despite the split.
Tom Segura met his estranged wife in the late 90s while they were building careers in the same niche. The pair became friends before love came into the picture. They tied the knot in 2008 and welcomed two sons before their eventual split.
Segura finally addressed the surprising news of his split from Pazsitzky on a recent episode of their joint “Your Mom’s House” podcast. During the Wednesday episode, titled “Your Dad’s House,” the comedian described the breakup as a “horrible experience.”
He told listeners that the “awful” split happened “many months” ago before it became public knowledge, and the whole situation has been an emotional “rollercoaster” for him. “Your emotions change many times a day,” Segura explained, adding, “You don’t feel the same all the time. It’s really tough on you.”
The news of their split after 18 years of marriage broke the internet last month; however, insiders noted that the former couple has remained “completely amicable” and would continue to co-host their successful comedy podcast.
Viewers noticed that the pair had been releasing individually hosted podcast episodes rather than featuring each other, as they had previously. Segura claims that his absence is not due to the split but rather because he has been out of town recently.
His estranged wife backed up the claim on a July 15 episode of the show, telling viewers that “Tom Segura is in L.A.” and later explained that the episodes were pre-recorded and not released in real time.
Segura, while speaking on the recent episode of the podcast, noted that he has been “bothered” by comments bashing his absence and raising claims that he made her “address this alone.”
He explained that they have been “recording episodes separately for a long time,” and since “her episode was first, she addressed it first.”
The Former Couple Still ‘Talk Every Day’
A relationship that lasted nearly two decades is not one to fizzle out so quickly. According to Segura, they still maintain a cordial relationship despite their breakup and are focusing on co-parenting their sons, Ellis and Julian.
When news of their split first made waves last month, a source told news outlets, “They had a special and productive relationship, creating one of the most successful comedy podcast networks in the industry and, more importantly, two kids.”
Segura stressed that they continue to support each other’s endeavors while trying to give their sons the best life they can. “We talk every day. Just so people know, I support Christina in everything she does. She supports me,” the 47-year-old author shared with his podcast listeners.
The entertainer further clarified that he does not wish to keep talking about the terrible experience; hence, he will not do any interviews, podcast episodes, or talk to the press about his divorce from Pazsitzky.
Inside Christina Pazsitzky’s Narrative On The ‘Very Sad’ Split
Pazsitzky addressed her breakup from her husband of almost 20 years last week on the divorce episode of their comedy podcast. She chatted with guest host Duncan Trussell, saying she wanted to voice their latest reality formally.
The businesswoman was brought to tears as she said, “Yes, Tom and I are divorcing, and it is extremely sad,” before revealing that the divorce came as a last resort. She shared that they had tried to make things work for several years for the sake of their kids and family to no avail.
Pazsitzky then reflected on their journey as a couple, recalling how they built their comedy careers, a successful comedy podcasting empire, and a family in the years they spent together. They saw the highs and lows yet remained at each other’s sides through tragic accidents, births, deaths, cancer, and COVID.
The mom of two also recalled how they started from nothing, navigating the wild ride of being poor together, and disclosed that they tied the knot with just $200 to their names. She assured listeners that it was not an “ugly divorce,” urging them not to take sides.
A Glimpse At Tom Segura And Christina Pazsitzky’s Love Story
The pair met as young comedians in the late 1990s and became friends. They started performing stand-up comedy at open nights together. Segura had taken a liking to Pazsitzky, who was in a long-term relationship at the time, so he remained in the friend zone until she broke up with her then-partner.
When he confirmed that her relationship had ended, the author made his move and asked her out on a date, which she declined. Pazsitzky later asked Segura out, and they became official. Their relationship faced phases of long-distance due to their respective careers, but their commitment and love for each other trumped all hiccups.
PEOPLE shared that the pair said their vows on November 8, 2008, and continued to work together chasing their goals. In 2016, they welcomed their first child, Ellis, and in 2018, they became a family of four after Julian was born.
Hoping Tom Segura heals from the hurt of his “horrible” yet “amicable” divorce.
