When Corey Feldman announced in August 2023 that his marriage was over, the statement he gave Page Six pointed to his wife’s health and to two people who had grown apart. Courtney Anne Mitchell’s own statement that week was warm about him and said much the same.
A year later she told a Los Angeles court she had been left with no home, no car and no income, and that it happened after she quit what she called their party lifestyle.
Neither statement was untrue. The difference is that one was written for publication and the other had to satisfy a judge, which required specifics. By the time the divorce was signed on 25 February 2026, the file held her medical debts, her employment history, his tax arrears and a text message from him that she submitted as evidence.

Who she was before Corey Feldman
Mitchell is Canadian and 37. Her family lives in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley and she goes back regularly. She modelled from a young age and has been widely reported to have worked for Playboy. Music came afterwards. She learned to DJ, then took up keyboards.
She met Feldman in 2012. He was 41, a long way from the films that made him famous as a teenager, The Goonies and Stand By Me among them, and was pushing a second career in music. They dated four years before he proposed. The wedding was at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on 22 November 2016, officiated by a producer and family friend. It was Feldman’s third marriage, after the actress Vanessa Marcil and the model Susie Sprague, with whom he has a son.
Life inside Corey’s Angels
She was performing with him before the wedding. Feldman had assembled an all-female backing band called Corey’s Angels, which he described to The Hollywood Reporter as a management and development company for women he had met at the Playboy Mansion. Onstage the group wore wings and lingerie. Mitchell played keyboards and worked as the DJ, and Feldman gave her a title of her own, Maingel, short for main angel. For years that was the only name most of his audience knew her by.
The couple did the reality circuit, appearing on Celebrity Wife Swap in 2015 and later on Marriage Boot Camp. In September 2016 the band played the Today show, a performance Rolling Stone called bizarre.
In October 2017, police in Mangham, Louisiana stopped the tour bus for speeding. Five people were booked that night, according to a statement from the town’s police chief, Perry Fleming, carried by the local station KNOE. Feldman was charged with speeding, driving on a suspended licence and marijuana possession. Mitchell, then 28, was charged with possession of a Schedule IV controlled substance. Everyone posted bond and was released the same day.
The band has drawn heavier scrutiny since. Former members accused Feldman of harassment, and in 2020 he stepped down from a sexual harassment committee at the actors’ union. Mitchell has never been among his accusers. Her public comments about him have stayed friendly throughout, including while her own filings were making a much harder case.
The two years before the split
Mitchell has written on Instagram that from January 2022 to June 2023 she had repeated flare-ups of chronic idiopathic urticaria, a hives condition with no identified cause. Steroids brought temporary relief and other treatments made things worse. She has said her doctors eventually ran out of options.
She came off Feldman’s 2023 tour because of it. In May 2025 she posted that she had reached two years sober, which would date the start of that to around the weeks the marriage was ending.
How the marriage ended
They separated on 22 June 2023 and said nothing publicly for seven weeks. The statements went out on 8 August.
That September, Feldman filed for legal separation rather than divorce, a step that would have limited how long Mitchell could claim spousal support. She did not accept it. In March 2024 she filed her own petition for full dissolution and asked the court for support and legal costs.
The spousal support fight
The money argument ran more than two years and was reported in stages by TMZ, In Touch, Us Weekly and PEOPLE, each working from filings in the case.
- August 2023: Feldman begins paying $2,000 a month informally.
- September 2024: Mitchell’s filing puts her medical debt near $20,000 and submits Feldman’s text messages as evidence. In one, he tells her a merchandise deposit has emptied the tour account and that money will come once the shows start paying. “Communication is key. I don’t want to be your enemy at all.”
- November 2024: A judge raises her support to $3,500 a month. She had been working as a barista and had recently been laid off.
- November 2025: She asks for roughly $7,200 a month plus arrears, citing his fee from Dancing with the Stars. Her filing describes part-time work at a coffee shop and at Goodwill, and says she had left California because she could no longer afford to live there. The two sides settle that month.
- February 2026: A judge signs the terms.
Feldman’s own numbers were not much better. He told the court in 2024 that he owed around $192,000 in unpaid taxes and $42,000 on credit cards, against monthly income of about $2,500. A separate tax debt from 2021 was still open when the case closed.
The final terms give Mitchell $100,000, paid at $10,000 within five days and $10,000 every two months after that. Both sides gave up any future claim to support. Feldman kept his two cars, a motorhome, five Tesla shares and his Michael Jackson memorabilia. He posted afterwards that it was “another day, another divorce story” and said he had nothing further to add.
Where she is now
Mitchell lives outside California and works as a health coach, certified through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Her Instagram, where she has around 17,000 followers, is mostly food and family. She posts juicing videos and photographs from trips home to British Columbia.
In March 2026, weeks after the divorce was signed, she wrote that her dog Chewy had died in Canada, cared for at the end by her father, Dave. She had wanted to be there and could not get to him.
She had put up another post two years before that, in January 2024, under a photograph of herself taken once the worst of the illness had passed.
“This is me today; my spark is back.”
