Jackass Johnny Knoxville, real name Philip John Clapp, and Melanie Lynn Clapp have officially ended their 12-year marriage to each other.  The two share a daughter, Madison.

Even though the divorce is a done deal, there are still outstanding issues of community property, spousal and child support and child custody that must be worked out. The documents say until the outstanding issues are dealt with, Knoxville must cover the family with health and medical insurance.

The docs say in the event Johnny dies, he’ll hold Melanie harmless from any legal fallout — translated, he does a lot of stupid stunts and it’s risky. It’s probably standard language in these divorces but it means something special when you star in “Jackass.”

I bumped into Tennessee Johnny at a small diner in Los Angeles last year and he was busy working away on his laptop but a pretty nice guy altogether.   Knoxville grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Johnny turned 37 earlier this month.
