How John Mulaney's Ex-Wife Is Coping After Their Split

According to Page Six, Anna Marie Tendler is focusing on work amidst her painful divorce from husband John Mulaney. After he discussed their relationship at length, both in his stand-up shows following the comedian's most recent rehab stint and in conversation with Seth Meyers, Tendler is putting her feelings into art, too. 

The upcoming exhibition "Rooms in the First House" seemingly showcases her fractured state of mind in the aftermath of the couple's messy breakup. The multidisciplinary artist is exhibiting photographs from the series at the Other Art Fair in Santa Monica, which is being held Sept. 23-26, 2021. Described on her official website as "a portrait project exploring the multitudinous versions of self confined within one body," Tendler herself is the sole focus of the images, amid varying backdrops. This is, according to the fair, "her largest artistic endeavor to date." 

Tendler reportedly works from her Connecticut home, where she created images such as "Dinner in March," which features the artist dressed all in white, sitting alone at a candlelit dinner, and gazing longingly at an empty chair across from her. Another shot sees Tendler perched on the edge of a bed staring sadly into the distance. Many of the featured photographs seem to communicate a haunting sense of malaise and isolation on Tendler's part, while, in others, she's smiling.

When her shock split from Mulaney, following six years of marriage, was announced back in May, Tendler admitted in a statement, "I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage."
