Still going strong: Anthony LaPaglia, 64, holds hands with his much younger second wife Alexandra Henkel, 33, at the screening of the Netflix series Florida Man in Los Angeles
They said it would never last.
But Anthony LaPaglia and his much younger wife Alexandra Henkel proved the haters wrong last Wednesday when they attended a screening of the Australian actor’s new Netflix show Florida Man in Los Angeles.
The Without a Trace star, 64, held hands with Henkel – who, at 33, is more than three decades his junior – as the pair posed for pictures on the red carpet.
LaPaglia, who plays the father of Floridian protagonist Sonny Valentine in the limited series, kept it casual in a black zip-up hoodie and matching blazer.
He completed his relaxed look with black pants and monochromatic sneakers.

Henkel looked stylish in a floral shirt dress and her shoulder-length blonde hair loosely styled.
LaPaglia also posed for photos alongside his castmates, including Australian model turned actress Abby Lee and Lex Scott Davis.
The Frasier star married Henkel in an intimate ceremony in Hawaii in July 2018, a year after the couple got engaged in April 2017.
When announcing the news on social media, the young bride wrote at the time: ‘28.4.2018. The day I married the love of my life.’

LaPaglia later posed alongside the cast of the Netflix series, about a disgraced cop who is forced to return to his home state of Florida on a dark mission, only to find himself drawn into a treasure hunt.
Clearly aware of the age difference in their relationship, Henkel called out trolling in another Instagram post.
They said it wouldn’t be long. I love you baby,” she captioned a photo of the couple.
Before meeting Alexandra, LaPaglia was married to My Big Fat Greek Wedding actress Gia Carides for 17 years.
They announced their split in March 2015 and divorced a year later.
The former couple shares 20-year-old daughter Bridget.

During an interview with the Announce sun in April 2016, LaPaglia said his divorce from Carides was nobody’s business.
“My attitude is if I don’t know someone – and it’s not a disrespect to anyone out there – I don’t care what their opinion is because they’re not me, they’re not in my life and they can have all the opinions they like — they don’t know what was going on,” he said.
“Outsiders are relatively unimportant to me, as long as those involved know what happened.”
