How many times has Steve Guttenberg been married? Personal life explored as 'Police Academy' star files for divorce

Steve Guttenberg, the iconic star of Police Academy, is parting ways with his wife, Emily Smith, after six years of marriage. This marks his second divorce, following his first marriage to Denise Bixler, which lasted from 1988 to 1992.

Notably, Steve approached the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles on April 4, stating that he and Smith are separating due to irreconcilable differences. However, further updates are awaited.

People magazine obtained the legal documents related to Steve Guttenberg’s divorce, where the Short Circuit star has reportedly requested that he and Emily should be allowed to cover the expenses for the case from their respective sides.

Apart from this, Guttenberg would also pay spousal support to Smith at the same time. Steve and Emily had already signed a prenuptial agreement in the past, and this would authorize the division of “property and obligations” for each side.

According to Smith’s LinkedIn profile, she is pursuing her career as a journalist. She is serving multiple positions at the CBS Corporation, including reporter, anchor, and segment producer. Apart from this, Emily has been active as a licensed realtor at the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties since 2019.

Emily was previously employed at the WABC TV, where she was a reporter and fill-in anchor for around three years. In addition, she had worked at UNPLUG Meditation. Smith completed her higher studies at St. Bonaventure University.
