Perette — who spent 15 seasons playing Abby Sciuto on the popular procedural “NCIS” — first wed Shivers in 2000. Shivers (born Francis “Coyote” Shivers) is likely best known for his appearance in the film “Empire Records” and its song “Sugar High”. The pair wed in 2000 but separated four years later, with their divorce granted in 2006.
Per Shivers’ exes Bebe Buell (who happens to be the mother of Liv Tyler, Shivers’ “Empire Records” co-star) and Angela Garber, this is a pattern of behavior.

Shivers did eventually remarry, wedding Brazilian writer Mayra Dias Gomes in 2010 (via CheatSheet). The two split up in 2018. Despite two subsequent engagements, Perrette seemingly has decided she prefers being solo. In 2019, she wrote on Twitter, “I decided to be celibate and single for life. Best decision I ever made. Anyone else? I doubt it. No judgement. It is just healthy for me.”
Whether or not Perrette decides to find love again, hopefully she has at least found peace.
