divorce in a Los Angeles court and sought joint legal and physical custody of their two sons.
Bialik and Stone's divorce was finalized in June 2013. The former couple agreed on property division, spousal support, child support, and the custody of their children, but the details of those agreements were not publicized.
After the divorce, Bialik opened up about the end of her marriage via her blog. Besides admitting how difficult it was for her to wear a wedding dress during filming, she also wrote about some of her experiences after the split.
For example, in 2018, she wrote that she attended Thanksgiving dinner at Stone's home. However, his girlfriend and her ex-husband, and their children also attended.
This made for a very large Thanksgiving Day feast that Stone and Bialik's sons would not forget. Bialik admitted she was nervous about attending the celebration, especially as she was single at the time.
However, things turned out great, and she expressed gratitude that her sons have two loving parents. In another blog post she made during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Bialik gushed over her and Stone's co-parenting relationship.
She revealed they were working together to keep their family safe and happy amid the pandemic. For Bialik, blogging about her divorce served as public therapy. Also, she used her experiences to help other women who went through the same thing.
However, the divorce also took an emotional and spiritual toll on Bialik. During an interview with ABC, Bialik revealed she cried when she wrote all of those posts about her divorce.
Besides struggling to deal with her divorce, Bialik has also struggled with her mental health in the past. In 2018, during the #MyYoungerSelf campaign, she revealed that she needed help figuring out her mental health problems and urged others to do so.
Bialik said she would have liked to tell her younger self that there were answers to her mental health issues. The actress added per Daily Mail:
"For me, some of those answers I had to wait years to find and I needed to get different help, which ended up being really the right kind of help."
She revealed that when she was younger, she believed that if something did not work once or a therapist or medication did not work, nothing would ever work.
Bialik said she wished she could have told her younger self that something would work but only needed more research, referrals, and figuring things out as though one's life depended on it.
Eventually, Bialik has overcome her mental health issues and continues to co-parent effectively with Stone. Also, she has fallen in love again.
In September, she revealed she is in a relationship. Reports then emerged that she is dating Jonathan Cohen, a poet, writer, and futurist who co-hosts the "Mayim Bialik's Breakdown" podcast with her.
Bialik's career is also going well. It was announced that she would host the primetime version of the popular TV game show "Jeopardy!" Also, she started co-hosting the syndicated version of the show alongside Ken Jennings.
No one knows if Bialik will ever walk down the aisle again, but whatever happens, it is great to see the actress is in a good place in her life and career.
