Judge Mathis Vows To Win Back His Wife After She Files For Divorce

Judge Greg Mathis is going through it … hot on the heels of his wife Linda rushing to court to pull the plug on their 39-year marriage.

The TV judge opened up to TMZ at LAX Friday … making it loud and clear that divorce isn’t what he wants — adding he’s doing everything he can to turn things around and win Linda back while they’re still under the same roof, hoping she’ll have a change of heart.

He admits not making Linda his top priority during his career led to their downfall … and gives some sound advice to other men on how to avoid the same fate — which you can check out in the vid.

As for those infidelity rumors, he’s also got a thing or two to say about that, too!

TMZ broke the news … Mathis’ wife, Linda, filed for divorce Thursday, Aug. 22, citing their separation date as July 17 and listing the go-to irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
