Only 4 feet 10 inches (1.47 meters) tall, DeVito managed to outshine many of his professional counterparts. His multiple epiphyseal dysplasias (also known as Fairbank’s illness), a rare genetic condition that inhibits bone formation, is the cause of his small stature.
Rhea Perlman and DeVito first became acquainted on January 17, 1971, while DeVito was appearing in the only performance of the play The Shrinking Bride.
After two weeks of living together, they married on January 28, 1982. They have three kids: Jacob Daniel DeVito (born in March 1985), Lucy Chet DeVito (born on March 11, 1983), and Grace Fan DeVito.
Perlman and DeVito have appeared in various productions, including Taxi on television and Matilda (where they played Matilda’s parents).
After spending more than 40 years together and 30 years married, they divorced in October 2012 before getting back together in March 2013.
In March 2017, they had a second separation but remained friendly, and, according to Perlman, they had no plans to get a divorce.
According to Perlman’s interview with Andy Cohen in 2019, she and DeVito are now better friends than they were during their final years of a relationship.
