‘Blind Side’ Actor Hasn’t Spoken to Ex-Wife Since Stroke, Learning She’s Already Married

Aaron says a spinal stroke left him paralyzed and intubated for nearly a month before he learned his marriage had been voided.

  • In January 2026, The Blind Side actor Quinton Aaron suffered a spinal stroke that revealed his marriage to Margarita DeLeon was invalid—she remained legally married to another man.
  • While Aaron was hospitalized in a four-day coma, an attorney uncovered records showing DeLeon was still married to Eric Guzman, whom she wed in 1992; DeLeon told ABC News she 'wasn't aware' she remained legally married.
  • Now 42, the 6-foot-8 actor is continuing recovery at a rehab facility after being paralyzed from the waist down. Aaron remains 'very optimistic' that he'll walk again, calling his survival 'a miracle.'
  • Since his hospitalization, Aaron has not seen DeLeon, telling Us Weekly, 'I don't need to speak to her ever again.' The marriage was voided without requiring an annulment.
  • Developing new projects, Aaron is writing a book and a podcast titled 'Podcast 2.0,' viewing his health crisis as a 'second chance to do it the right way.
