According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Judge Greg Mathis and his wife Linda Reese Mathis are officially back together, as Linda has dismissed her divorce filing.
Linda had originally filed for divorce a few years ago. However, on Monday, she submitted a request to dismiss the case without prejudice. The court clerk entered the dismissal the following day, officially closing the case.
The couple had separated in July 2024. Shortly after, Linda filed divorce documents, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for ending their 39-year marriage. At the time, the filing suggested a significant shift in their long-standing relationship. Despite the separation, the couple reconciled just a few months later. By November, they confirmed publicly that they had worked through their issues and decided to continue their marriage.
