Divorced with Tatiana

Joe and Tatiana’s marital relationship was going well till Joe found out that his wife Tatania was in an affair and dating plastic surgeon Brian Novack. After knowing that his wife was bored with him, Joe filed a divorce in Broward County Council along with asking the judge to make him primary residential parent of his children.

The reason why Tatiana aka Deborah May was bored and divorced with her ex-husband Joe was that Joe used to drink a lot and she got attracted to Brian as Brian was sensitive and more responsible than her then-husband Joe.

After marriage and having children Joe had stopped drinking and gave his best to his family but after being divorced from Tatiana he again started being an alcoholic. After an incident of saying some worst lines of his life to a lady reporter on December 20, 2003, Joe entered into an outpatient alcoholism treatment program to leave his habit.

A broken man behind a strong player

Joe went through hard and heartbreaking phases in his life which might have forced him to be addicted to alcohol. Joe, Tatiana’s ex-husband hadn’t married for so long before meeting Tatiana as he didn’t want to do the same thing his father John had done to his mother Rose. His Father left his mother for another woman.
