The Unfolding Disclosure
Actor Quinton Aaron, 42, learned that his wife, Margarita DeLeon, was still legally married to a man she wed in 1992. Aaron, who recovered from a four-day coma in January after a spinal stroke and pulmonary embolism, said he “absolutely” believed DeLeon was divorced.
Timeline of Key Events
- January – Aaron awakens from a coma and later discovers DeLeon’s existing marriage.
- April – DeLeon tells ABC News she “wasn’t aware” that she remained married.
- Later – Aaron’s interview with Us Weekly is published, in which he reiterates his belief that DeLeon had been divorced for more than a decade.
- Months later – Aaron reports that he has not spoken to DeLeon for several months and has “completely removed” her from his life.
Statements from Aaron, DeLeon, and Guzman
Aaron’s account frames the situation as a betrayal of his personal values: he claims he would not have pursued a relationship with a married woman. DeLeon’s response to ABC News characterizes the situation as an oversight, asserting she was unaware of the lingering legal marriage. Eric Guzman, the man DeLeon was still married to, told ABC News that he believed a divorce filing had been finalized years earlier and that he had subsequently filed for divorce himself.
Verbatim Quote
- “I’m not the type of person that messes with married women. She kept telling me she was divorced for 10-plus years.” — Margarita DeLeon
Current Situation
Aaron says he has “needed to completely remove” DeLeon from his life and remains out of contact. DeLeon and Guzman have not publicly indicated any further legal steps, and no court filings have been reported in the available sources. The matter remains a personal dispute centered on the undisclosed prior marriage.
