Quinton Aaron was blindsided by his wife’s relationship status.
After the Blind Side actor woke up from a four-day coma in January following a spinal stroke and pulmonary embolism, he said he learned that his then-wife Margarita DeLeon—with whom he had tied the knot in December 2024—was still legally married to a man she married in 1992.
However, Aaron, 42, said he “absolutely” believed DeLeon was divorced.
“We would’ve never spoken if I knew she was married,” he told Us Weekly in an interview published Aug. 19. “I’m not the type of person that messes with married women. She kept telling me she was divorced for 10-plus years.”
DeLeon told ABC News in April that she “wasn’t aware” that she was still legally married. Her estranged husband Eric Guzman also told the outlet he thought the divorce filing had successfully gone through years before. He said at the time that he had since filed for divorce.
Since learning the news of her marital status, Aaron said he “needed to completely remove” DeLeon from his life and hasn’t spoken to her in months.
