Inside Matt LeBlanc's Relationships With His Famous Exes

After a string of short-lived relationships, Matt LeBlanc seemed to have found "the one" with Melissa McKnight. As a model, she appeared in publications such as Elle, Cosmopolitan, and Vogue before shifting to acting. She made her film debut in "Triangles and Tribulations," and also appeared on television on "VH1: All Access." But it's her relationship with LeBlanc that garnered her the most attention. The two were introduced by Lou Diamond Phillips' then-wife, Kelly, and after just one year of dating, LeBlanc and McKnight were engaged (per Famous People).

The couple wed in Hawaii in 2003 and welcomed their daughter Marina the following year. LeBlanc and McKnight faced every parent's worst nightmare when Marina was diagnosed with a rare brain disorder called "cortical dysplasia" at eight months. Luckily, with treatment, she made a full recovery. However, the couple's marriage was already on the rocks, reportedly due to LeBlanc's womanizing ways. In fact, he abruptly moved out of the family home. "It was very sudden," Phillips told People at the time. "She was absolutely blindsided by what transpired."

LeBlanc and McKnight were able to put their differences aside for the sake of their children (they also co-parent McKnight's two children from her first marriage). "You just try and teach them right and wrong, keep an eye on them and be there with them. You can only do so much," LeBlanc told People.
