‘The Blind Side’ Actor Quinton Aaron Finally Addresses Fake Wife Scandal In New Interview

Quinton Aaron, the actor in the 2009 Oscar-nominated film “The Blind Side,” is speaking out for the very first time following his health scare in January. And he’s finally providing some much needed clarity regarding the scandal surrounding his “wife,” Margarita Aaron.

If you’ll remember, we previously told you that the actor was hospitalized after falling in his home in Atlanta while going up the stairs. Initially, family statements only mentioned that his legs suddenly gave out and that’s what caused his incident. However, less than five days later, Aaron’s family revealed that the actor suffered a spinal stroke and spoke out to his fans and followers to give them an update.

Then, in a twist that sounded like something straight off a Lifetime Original Movie, Aaron’s brother Jared shockingly sounded the alarm on his brother’s “wife,” Margarita and alleged that she’s not what she seems. Specifically, he claimed that she wasn’t married to his brother at all and is actually betrothed to another man altogether. He went on to share that he “genuinely feared for his brother’s life” and was mostly concerned that she was “misrepresenting herself as his legal wife to the medical staff at the hospital and is helping to make crucial and life-saving medical decisions.”

However, per Margarita, she claimed that she and Aaron were involved and were in fact “spiritually married.”

Now, sitting down for an all-new interview on “Good Morning America” on Monday, the actor confirmed what his brother had originally shared and detailed how was blindsided by Margarita’s deception initially.

“The entire time we were together, she had told me she had been divorced for 10 plus years. She even told the person when we were getting married, ‘oh yes, I have all the documents, I can email [them] over to you, the divorce decree,’” Aaron told the outlet.

He then said that not double checking to see for himself was his “biggest mistake.” For additional context, the two of them wed two years ago in Los Angeles during a small “ceremony” of sorts that included a ring and marriage license—all seemingly legit. But, it was during Aaron’s sick time that his lawyer uncovered a marriage certification between Margarita and a man named Eric Alex Guzman, whom she wed in 1992.

Aaron then admitted that while he did love her, a lot of their relationship was “blissful ignorance” and stuff he “didn’t want to know.”

What’s more is that Margarita also spoke to “Good Morning America” and confirmed that the info that Aaron’s family found out about her was indeed true, but said that she wasn’t aware that her divorce to Guzman wasn’t finalized, chalking it up to a mere mistake. Guzman also spoke with the outlet and corroborated her story and explained that he actually filed for divorce from Margarita in February. There’s been no word yet on how long or when this new filing is set to be finalized.
