When Marcia Gay Harden and Thaddaeus Scheel announced their divorce in 2012, the couple hoped to keep things private. They said, “For the sake of the couple’s three children, Harden would like to request that the family’s privacy be respected at this time. No further comments will be made on this matter, and we thank you for your understanding.” Harden kept the details of the divorce hidden but did reveal in 2013 that there was one person who truly helped her get through the situation.
The “Mystic River” actor revealed that she leaned on her “God of Carnage” actor, James Gandolfini, during this difficult time, per The Hollywood Reporter. She explained to the outlet in 2013, “…my own marriage was breaking up — and James was an absolute rock for me, he even taught me how to help my kids get through it, since he’d been through it himself.”

Gandolfini had split from his first wife in 2002 and knew the difficulties that come with separating from someone you loved, per Strictly Weddings. Harden revealed that she knew she could always count on the actor for support and would constantly keep in touch with him up until he died in 2013. During a difficult time, like a divorce, you always want a friend to lean on, and luckily Harden had Gandolfini.
