22 Years Ago Today, This ‘Saved by the Bell' Star's Wife Filed to End Their 2-Week Marriage
It seemed like a match made in heaven when the stud from Saved by the Bell married the "Doritos Girl." But just two weeks after the couple's wedding, they ended their marriage. Of course, we're talking about Mario Lopez and Ali Landry, who tied the knot 22 years ago-and split shortly thereafter.
The romantic Mexico wedding was still fresh in the minds of many when news broke that Landry had filed for an annulment.
"He's cheated on her for several years, and she just found out last week," a source close to Landry told People magazine at the time. "They never had a honeymoon, and he was out at a club last week without his wife."
Lopez and Landry had been together for six years before exchanging vows at Las Alamandas resort outside Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. And while everything may have seemed perfect on the outside, Lopez and Landry's union was doomed from the start.
"Not even a week after, I found out that it was, like, a Tiger Woods situation," Landry told Lacey Leone McLaughlin on the Unfolding Leadership podcast in 2022. "It was, you know, cheating across the board, with some women for one year, some women for two years."
"It was devastating," she continued. "And I made a commitment that moving forward, I was gonna take the blinders off, number one. And I was gonna walk through, you know, my life in full awareness and really being aware of my choices, and those choices were gonna represent who I was as a person. And with everything. Not just with the person that I chose but also with my career. And that was the biggest shift in my life."
Everything worked out for Lopez and Landry-separately-however.
"I look back on that situation, which was horrible, and I thank God every single day, because it changed me as a woman. It changed the way… I walk through this world, 100 percent," Landry said. "I am so much better because that happened. I am forever grateful for that."
Landry went on to find love with film director Alejandro Gómez Monteverde, whom she married in 2006, and the couple has three kids together. As for Lopez, he married Courtney Mazza in 2012, and they also have three children.
