ICYMI: Dan Aykroyd splits from Donna Dixon after 39 years
The Hollywood stars married just months after meeting on the set of ‘Doctor Detroit’ in 1983 but have announced that they have split up because they are now on “separate life paths” but will remain legally married.in a joint statement released on Friday. “We remain legally married, co-parents, co-workers and business partners. This is our choice in loving friendship.”
Following their wedding, Aykroyd, 69, and Dixon, 64, went on to appear in a slew of movies in the mid-to-late 1980s and early 1990s together including ‘Twilight Zone: The Movie’, ‘Spies Like Us’, ‘The Couch Trip’ and ‘Exit to Eden’. The ‘Ghostbusters’ actor – who was once briefly engaged to the late ‘Star Wars’ actress Carrie Fisher while Dixon was once set to marry Paul Stanley of the rock band KISS – previously explained that the key to a successful marriage was about “finding the right person” and “knowing their soul.”
“You gotta find the right person – look them in the eye, have them look back, and know their soul,” he said. “She’s a Southern woman who is understanding and doesn’t mind dealing with the boys from time to time. I call her the White Goddess. And I’m the Green Demon.” The couple share daughters Belle, 28, Stella, 24, and 32-year-old singer Danielle – better known by her stage name of Vera Solo – together.
