The actor, 62, submitted a declaration for an uncontested dissolution on January 16, according to documents obtained by News Of Los Angeles. The filing confirms the pair reached a written settlement agreement through mediation and outside of court.
Settlement Details
While the specific terms remain confidential, Mulroney-who is representing himself-states the agreement covers:

- Spousal support
- Child support

Once a judge signs the paperwork, the divorce will be official.
Timeline of the Split

|---|---|
| 2008 | Begin dating |
| 2008 | Welcome first daughter, Mabel Ray |
| 2009 | Welcome second daughter, Sally June |
| December 2010 | Marry |

Mulroney cited irreconcilable differences in his June 2025 filing and listed the date of separation as “TBD.” He initially asked that each party pay their own attorneys’ fees and that they share joint physical and legal custody of their minor children.
Amicable Approach
A source told News Of Los Angeles at the time of the filing that “no one is asking for anything, and no one is denying anything. They are not arguing over the children nor money.”
The insider added: “They used mediators, not lawyers, as they are friends and this is amicable. They were advised to file this way.”
Shared History
Mulroney and Apollinaare began their relationship in 2008 and quickly started a family. Apollinaare, a singer-songwriter originally from Italy, bonded with Mulroney over music; he is a professional cellist whose credits include Planet of the Apes and the Mission: Impossible franchise.
Born Tharita Cutulle, Apollinaare changed her name in 2015 for reasons she has not publicly disclosed. She told the music label Lost in the Manor in 2023:
> “[I] got into music since I was born. My mom is a singer. My dad played trumpet and piano.”
The couple also collaborated professionally. In 2010, Apollinaare was listed as one of Mulroney’s producing partners on a biopic he was set to direct, per the Associated Press (via The Hollywood Reporter).
