Tony Danza Divorce Finalized, 'Who's the Boss' Star Ends 24 -Year Marriage

Actor Tony Danza is living the single life once again, and a judge signed off on his divorce papers on Feb. 6, according to TMZ.

The 62-year-old actor first separated from his wife Tracy Robinson in 2006 but he did not file for divorce until 2011, after 24 years of marriage. He cited "irreconcilable differences" as the cause for the split.  

This was the actor's second marriage. Danza and Robinson had two daughters, Emily and Katherine. He also has two more children, Gina and Marc, from his first marriage to Rhonda Yeoman that lasted four years. The actor met and married Yeoman while in college.

Danza rose to fame as a television star, first on the hit series Taxi as Tony Banta, a struggling boxer who could never win a fight. The show lasted for five seasons, from 1978 through 1983. A year later he was the star of his own show Who's The Boss?, in which he played Tony Micelli, a retired major league baseball player with a daughter (Alyssa Milano) who moves to Connecticut to work as a live-in maid for a divorced ad exec (Judith Light). The hit TV show also starred Katherine Helmond and Danny Pintauro.

Prior to acting, the Brooklyn-native started out as a professional boxer. He first competed in the 1975 New York City Golden Gloves tournament, where he began fighting under the name "Dangerous" Tony Danza. As a middleweight contender, he had a 9-3 record. It wasn't until a random gym workout in 1978, when a producer discovered him for the role of Tony Banta on Taxi, that his acting career began.
