The celeb couple has had a very rocky and very public marriage.

Actress Kim Delaney’s husband, James Morgan, was arrested for public intoxication after an alleged altercation with his wife and a flight attendant. According to TMZ, Morgan, 56, was arrested immediately after touching down in Los Angeles after a flight from Denver with his wife, 64. Delta Air Lines confirmed his arrest and that there was no operational impact on the flight, though there was no confirmation of how the fight began. This is not the first time the couple’s disputes have been brought to the public eye: Morgan was arrested in February 2026 after police were called to the couple’s L.A. residence, and Delaney was arrested on felony assault charges in March 2025. The L.A. Times reported that the former NYPD Blue actress filed for divorce five months after her October 2022 wedding and later filed for a restraining order, though the couple is seemingly still together. In a post shared on October 11, 2024, the Emmy-Award winning actress called herself Morgan’s “wife for life” in honor of their second wedding anniversary.
