Quinton Aaron was blindsided by his wife’s relationship status.

After the Blind Side actor woke up from a four-day coma in January following a spinal stroke and pulmonary embolism, he said he learned that his then-wife Margarita DeLeon—with whom he had tied the knot in December 2024—was still legally married to a man she married in 1992.

However, Aaron, 42, said he “absolutely” believed DeLeon was divorced.

“We would’ve never spoken if I knew she was married,” he told Us Weekly in an interview published Aug. 19. “I’m not the type of person that messes with married women. She kept telling me she was divorced for 10-plus years.”

DeLeon told ABC News in April that she “wasn’t aware” that she was still legally married. Her estranged husband Eric Guzman also told the outlet he thought the divorce filing had successfully gone through years before. He said at the time that he had since filed for divorce.

Since learning the news of her marital status, Aaron said he “needed to completely remove” DeLeon from his life and hasn’t spoken to her in months.

“[Not] since the day we went to the hospital,” he said in his latest interview. “There were times I remember seeing her in the room, but I was in and out of consciousness, and I didn’t speak to her because I was intubated.”

And as Aaron sees it, “I don’t need to speak to her ever again.”

Plus, Aaron noted that his marriage is over in the eyes of the state.

“Thankfully, the marriage was voided,” he explained. “I didn’t need to annul it because we weren’t legally married. I dodged a bullet there.”

And now, Aaron is focused on moving forward.

“I really do wish her well,” he said. “I hope she gets the help she needs.”

E! News has not been able to reach DeLeon for comment.
