Ozark’s Darlene, who in real life, is named Lisa Emery found love that sent her walking down the aisle for the first time, in Josh Pais. Her husband is in the same industry as her and has the same career path. He played and voiced the role of Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
It is possible that this former couple even met while working.
Josh Pais and Lisa Emery were married for a little over a decade and sealed their union with a son. However, they got separated and eventually divorced.
While it doesn’t seem like Lisa has moved on and gotten into another romantic commitment, her ex-husband did. Josh Pais remarried shortly after his divorce from the American stage, film, and television actress.
Josh Pais is an Actor and Acting Coach
Josh Pais, as already introduced, is also in the entertainment industry, just like his ex-wife. He is an actor famously known for acting and voicing the character Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Movie and animation). In addition to being an actor, Pais is also an acting coach and filmmaker.
Pais’ stint in the industry dates back to the late 1980s. His filmography includes Showtime’s Ray Donovan, Netflix’s Maniac, and Law & Order.
Josh Pias’ ex-wife was in the industry 3 years before him (since 1985) and has been in productions on TV, film, and even stage.
Joshua Atwill Pais was born to a professor, physicist, and biographer of Albert Einstein known as Abraham Pais. His mother, Lila Lee Atwill was a painter and poet. He was born on June 21, 1958, in New York City, New York.
Lisa Emery and her husband, Josh Pais Got Divorced after 13 Years of Marriage
Emery and her now ex-husband were married on August 27, 1990. Details about how they met and how long they dated before getting married are not readily available. However, seeing that they work in the same industry, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to believe that they met while at work or some industry function.
Lisa Emery and Pais’ marriage lasted for almost a decade and a half. Unfortunately, at the 13th-year mark, they called it quits and got divorced. The divorce happened in 2003.
Just like with details about their love life together, the reason for their divorce wasn’t revealed. However, the split did affect Lisa Emery in a way and she was drawing in on the pain of the split.
Despite the 6-year age difference between 72-year-old Lisa and her 66-year-old ex-husband, they were still able to share life for more than a decade.
The age difference wasn’t a deterring factor, at least not for a marriage that lasted for so long.
After the divorce, Lisa and her son lived in the East Village.
The Ozark Actress and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Actor had a Son Together
The Netflix actress and her husband of 13 years welcomed a son together in their 3rd year of marriage.
The boy is named Zane Pais and he was born on September 22, 1993. He was about 10 years old when the couple split.
When Zane was much younger, he made his first movie appearance in a role where he played Claude. He was 14 years old at the time and acted alongside his mother who acted the role of the ‘woman with dog’ in the movie Margot at the Wedding.
This was Zane’s first movie role and he was cast as one of the lead characters.
Subsequently, his movie credits grew and he got roles like Jon in the 2018 TV series Room 104, Nathan in 2020’s Minyan, and Robbie in the 2021 TV series, Modern Love.
In 2022, he played the role of Max Feinberg in the movie The Independent. In 2023, Zane Pais acted as the character ‘Ben’ in This Closeness.
The 31-year-old is closely following the paths of his parents and has gotten their encouragement and support over the years.
He is also the only known child both actors have, together and individually.

Josh Pais Remarried 3 Years after his Divorce from Lisa Emery
Zane Pais’ parents have moved on from their divorce, especially his father who remarried 3 years later.
Lisa Emery’s ex-husband, Josh, remarried an American entrepreneur known as Marie Forleo. Her history presents that of a hustler who began her journey to success by waiting tables, serving drinks at bars, cleaning toilets, and other menial jobs.
Josh’s partner is now an accomplished writer of advice books and according to Harper’s Bazaar, a ‘self-made Millionaire’.
Emery’s IMDB page states that she and Josh got divorced in 2003. Other reports also state that the movie producer got married 3 years later.
From an Instagram post dated February 22, the couple celebrated their 20th year of marriage on said date. This suggests that Forleo and Pais have been together since 2003 and are still together.
It hasn’t been revealed if they have any children together so in the meantime, Josh still has one known child – Zane.
Lisa Emery, on the other hand, did not remarry. She has remained unmarried since her divorce from her ex-husband.
The Law & Order actress may have been in other relationships after her divorce. If so, none of that was worthy enough to make news headlines.
