Eric McCormack and Janet Leigh Holden are continuing on the train of celebrity splitsville in 2023, after it was revealed that the two are headed for a divorce.
TMZ first reported on Wednesday that Janet had filed for divorce from the 60-year-old Will & Grace actor after more than 26 years of marriage. Neither party has broken their silence on the matter.
In the wake of the news, here's what we know about their family life with their son Finnigan Holden McCormack, and how he's following in his parents' footsteps…
He was named after a children's TV show
In the 2023 documentary Mr. Dressup: The Magic of Make Believe, the actor stated that he had indeed named his son with a nod to the beloved Canadian children's TV series.
Mr. Dressup, which aired on CBC from 1967-1996, was a beloved staple in several Canadian households, and Eric shared in an interview on the brioux.tv podcast as well that the show inspired him to pursue acting.

In fact, in an interview with iNews, Eric recalled wanting to move back to Canada with his wife and son when the prospect of Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election seemed more and more imminent.
"We're both dual citizens but on November 9th we seriously considered going back to Canada until this was over," he said.
"But then we were thinking 'We're two votes that need to be counted' and my son was born here. He identifies as Canadian but he's an American citizen and he needs to see that we're fighting for his country."
