Stand by me no more.
“Stand By Me” and “The Goonies” child star-turned-rocker Corey Feldman and his wife, Courtney Anne, are separating, Pvnew has exclusively learned — as she deals with health issues, including “chronic fatigue.”
The duo previously appeared together on reality shows, and have toured together as part of his music act.
“It is with great sadness that Courtney and I have made the decision to separate after many wonderful years together,” Feldman tells Pvnew in a statement.
“We have been through so much together and still have much love and respect for each other. There is no one to blame. This is a case of life becoming really hard, Courtney dealing with health issues, and two people who have grown apart and now find themselves at a crossroads.”
The “Lost Boys” star continued, “Due to Courtney’s health concerns and the process of healing, we both feel it’s not in her best interest to continue on [their current tour] Love Retours 23 at this time. On behalf of myself and my band, we all love her and ask for your prayers in wishing her a speedy recovery. We don’t know what the future will hold, but we know that the love we have for each other is not going anywhere.”
Fans may recognize Courtney from Feldman’s much maligned, viral “Today” show performance in 2017 of his song “Go 4 It,” when he appeared with a group of scantily clad women wearing halos and wings, called “Corey’s Angels.”
Courtney Anne was his “Maingel,” (meaning his ‘main angel’), and she performed with Feldman on tour while also acting as a DJ.
The couple also appeared on “Celebrity Wife Swap” in 2015, and “Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars Family Edition” in 2019.
Courtney released a statement to Pvnew saying, “It is with a deep and heavy sadness that I am announcing my separation from Corey. We’ve shared some amazing times together both private and public, and I will always cherish these moments we’ve shared together. I love him dearly and I always will.”
She also says she has been suffering from health issues for two years, including hives following COVID-19, and chronic fatigue, telling us: “I’ve struggled for two years with health issues old and new; and this has taken a massive toll on me and my family. I always try to keep positive and a light heart regardless of what I am going through physically, but sadly it has now crossed a threshold where I can no longer continue on with the tour.”
She added: “It’s been a long journey of dealing with my own chronic fatigue syndrome which makes it difficult to keep up with the high energy of touring and traveling from place to place… However, I do wish ‘My Love, Husband, & Friend,’ and the bandmates a happy tour and the very best out there. I know they will be amazing as they put on a great show.”
Feldman will be going on tour in September.
Courtney also says that her hives have been in remission after treatment, saying, “I am eternally thankful to my [husband] who has been so supportive of my [healing] process, I couldn’t have done so without his love and support.
Feldman and Courtney met at Playboy’s Midsummer’s Night Dream Party. They were wed at Elton John’s Fizz champagne lounge at the Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas in 2016.
The actor had proposed the week earlier in Palm Springs, Calif. They had been together for four years, but quickly got engaged after concerns that Anne would be deported to Canada.
“She’s Canadian, and with Trump coming in, we didn’t want to risk being separated by new immigration laws,” Feldman previously told People.
Feldman was previously married to Vanessa Marcil and Susie Feldman.
