Joanna and Richard divorced in 1985, then Kerns married architect Marc Appleton on September 30, 1994. She filed for divorce in August 2019. In December 2016, Joanna’s “Growing Pains” husband, Alan Thicke, passed away, and Kerns released a statement about the loss, writing, “Alan was a true and loyal friend. As Maggie and Jason Seaver, we experienced more than a life-changing success together. When you pretend to love someone day after day, year after year, you see all their faults and foibles and learn to accept them as they are, separate from you, and there is a connection that happens that is hard to explain. I had that with Alan. Maybe that’s what marriage should be, the ability to love without judgement and the strength to remain separate.”
