AceShowbiz - Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito are "still a family" despite their separation. The former couple - who have kids Lucy, 39, Grace, 37 and Jake, 34, together - separated in 2017 but never divorced and Rhea is "proud" that they have kept their family together, even though they are no longer a couple.
"I'm really, really glad that Danny and I were able to navigate rough days to be able to have this different kind of relationship. I think it's pretty rare but we agree on so many things that it makes sense. We're still a family," she said to America's Closer magazine.
Danny is currently working on new animated series "Little Demon" with his kids Lucy and Jake. Danny voices Satan, Lucy plays the part of 13-year-old Chrissy who discovers Satan is her long lost father, and Jake is executive producing.
Danny said, "I think you're gonna find that in the show Satan is really a good guy. The guy was deprived of his spawn - who is a girl - but of course I thought it was gonna be a boy. I don't blame them from trying to hide from me, because sometimes I can act like a real demon."
Jake said, "My dad never got mad. But when people mess with us, he gets angry."
