In a heartfelt statement to People, Elijah's wife shed light on the internal battles her estranged husband had been enduring. Despite their separation, Marieangela stood firmly by Elijah's side, highlighting that despite the 'inner struggles' he had faced over the years, 'his unwavering commitment to sobriety and loyalty to those he cherishes have remained constants in his life.'

She emphasized that Elijah, like countless others, 'continues to grapple with his inner demons,' yet does so 'from a position of strength, rather than defeat.' Marieangela heaped praise on Elijah, asserting that he remains 'grounded, focused, and profoundly dedicated to living with integrity and purpose.'

Despite their divorce, filed mere months ago citing irreconcilable differences after eleven years of marriage on December 1, 2013, Marieangela harbors 'steadfast support' and holds 'deep respect' for Elijah. Her words painted a picture of a bond that transcends marital status, underscoring the enduring admiration and concern she holds for her former partner.
