Before we reveal Chrissy Metz’s tough admission about her marriage, here’s some background info to digest: Martyn Eaden, who hails from the United Kingdom, met the This Is Us star on a dating app while he was still abroad. The two did the long-distance thing for a while before they traveled to Santa Barbara to tie the knot in 2008, only to later separate in January 2013, per Radar Online. The freelance copywriter then filed for divorce in November 2014, although Metz never responded to his filing. Seemingly frustrated, Eaden requested a judge grant his divorce uncontested, which was approved in December 2015.
The relationship was rocky from the jump, with Metz recognizing in her 2018 memoir how her husband didn’t get along with her “loud and outgoing” family, per the Daily Mail. And when the two approached weight loss differently — Metz went to Overeating Anonymous while Eaden started hiking with a female co-worker — things spiraled. “I was trying so hard to get ahold of my relationship with my body and break my habit of eating my emotions and of equating food with sharing love,” she wrote, according to the Daily Mail. “I didn’t know how to spend time with Marty without using.” She concluded, “We’re just not the right fit. But I love him, and I’m always checking in on him. I am still working on being a better ex-wife than I was a wife.”
All’s well that ends well.
