Following his time in rehab, Page Six revealed John asked for a divorce from his wife Anna Marie Tendler in February.

He officially filed for divorce in July.

Anna – who is an artist, photographer, and writer – commented via a spokesperson and said: “I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage.

“I wish him support and success as he continues his recovery.”

After rehab, John returned to the stage with a five-day residency at Manhattan‘s City Winery in May, with the shows selling out.

John’s battle

John recently opened up about his struggles with addiction while dropping Olivia‘s name and mentioning the baby.

He said: “I didn‘t want an intervention. At that moment in time, I wanted to continue using drugs.

“Sitting here tonight, I‘m so grateful to you and to everyone there for saving my life.

“You guys saved me from drugs and Olivia and this baby have helped save me from myself and this early journey out of recovery. I don‘t have a joke for that.”

The celebrity couple met long before they were romantically involved.

During a 2015 interview with HuffPost Live, Olivia revealed that they first met at a wedding, where she recalled being “so obsessed,” with spending time with him.

The Attack of the Show host said: “We were at a wedding together and I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, do you and your fiancee want to go have dinner or something and go hang out?‘

“At first it was cool, and then I kept going up to him at the wedding like, ‘So, you having fun?’ I was just so obsessed with hanging out with and talking with him.”

Following their awkward first encounter, she later revealed that she tried to stay in touch with him after the wedding by sending emails but “he never emailed back.”

Olivia then joked: “I might’ve got the wrong email – probably. That’s what I tell myself.”
