Unraveling the Tale of Blake Tuomy-Wilhoit's Marriage

Marriage's Demise: The Divorce Filing

The Full House actor's wife, Hye Rim Choi, took a significant step by filing to end their marriage in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. As per the divorce petition obtained by PEOPLE, "irreconcilable differences" stand as the cause, marking the end of five years of marital life. This decision has left many wondering about the details and the journey that led to this point.

It's a poignant moment for Blake Tuomy-Wilhoit, who once charmed audiences as Nicky Katsopolis on Full House. His twin brother Alex was played by Blake's real-life twin, Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit. Now, with this divorce, a part of his life story takes a different turn.

The couple's separation is unique in that they have no children born during the relationship and no assets to divide. This aspect adds another layer of complexity to their story, as they navigate through the legal and emotional aspects of divorce.

Behind the Scenes: Tuomy-Wilhoit's Career Path

Beyond his memorable role as Nicky Katsopolis, which he reprised in a cameo on Fuller House in 2016, Tuomy-Wilhoit has largely been working behind the scenes. He has served as a foley mixer on several movies and TV series, leaving his mark in a different capacity.

Most recently, he was involved in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight in 2022, showcasing his diverse talents and continued dedication to the entertainment industry. His work behind the scenes has allowed him to contribute in unique ways and explore different aspects of the creative process.

Even before his marriage, in a 2019 interview less than two months before he tied the knot with Choi, Tuomy-Wilhoit revealed that he still received fan mail into his teenage years for his role on Full House. This shows the lasting impact of his work and the connection he had with his fans.

"I've even had people like send me fan mail when I was a teenager saying like, oh this show saved my life, I used to have this really crappy situation and this Full House family became my family and it made me want to live still … like maybe people really want to be alive and positive." His words highlight the profound influence his role had on others.

"I didn't know [it was] impacting people the way that it did and it feels very rewarding that even though it's like one of the more tertiary characters I'm still very proud of to be a part of that show." This sentiment reflects his gratitude and pride in his work on Full House.
