Actor Frankie Muniz describes recent months as a personal nightmare after divorce

Frankie Muniz posted on Instagram that the six weeks after announcing his divorce from Paige Price have felt like a nightmare he wants to wake up from. He said the period has been heavy and unclear, but also noted that it forced him to confront aspects of his life he wants to improve. "I want to become a better version of me. Not the polished version I show the world ... the actual one," Muniz wrote, adding that hitting rock bottom can prompt necessary change. He expressed hope that, in five years, he will look back on this low point with gratitude because it will have led to a higher point in his life. Muniz said he plans to treat the experience as a foundation for “uncomfortable, unglamorous, necessary work.”

Paige Price later shared an Instagram story with a cryptic comment about perspective, which some followers interpreted as a response to Muniz’s post. Muniz is best known for starring in the early-2000s sitcom "Malcolm in the Middle," which recently returned for a reunion series on a streaming platform. After the show ended in 2006, he shifted his focus to race-car driving.
