An illness took the Canadian DJ off the road in 2023, the year she and Feldman separated. Seven months after the divorce, she says her health is getting better every year, with the occasional setback.
Courtney Anne Mitchell, the singer and DJ who was with Corey Feldman for more than a decade, told her Instagram followers on 12 September that her health has improved every year but that she has hit a setback.
“I’ve been getting better every year, every now and then I have a setback,” wrote Mitchell, 37. “You can’t keep a good woman down.”
She did not say what the setback was, and the replies filled with prayers and get-well messages. Eleven days earlier she had posted a picture from the gym, saying she was “feeling so good”.
Mitchell has written about her health throughout the two and a half years it took to finalise the divorce, describing an illness she says began in late 2021.

Who is Courtney Anne Mitchell?
Mitchell began dating Feldman, now 55, in 2012. Vice, reporting from the former child star’s 2013 birthday party, described a Canadian DJ named Courtney as one of the founders of Corey’s Angels, the group of young women Feldman managed and performed with. He called it a management, development and production company.
In 2015 the couple appeared on ABC’s Celebrity Wife Swap, which billed her as Feldman’s “fruitarian girlfriend”. For the episode she swapped homes with Amanda, the fiancรฉe of the comedian Tommy Davidson.
In his band, Corey Feldman & the Angels, she DJed, sang and played keyboards. Feldman called her his “maingel”, short for main angel. She was on stage behind him in September 2016 for his widely mocked performance of “Go 4 It” on NBC’s Today show, and a month later he told The Hollywood Reporter she was his “No. 1 partner” in the business.
He proposed that November, on their fourth anniversary, at a resort in Palm Springs. He was too nervous to ask in person, he said, so he gave her a handwritten note with one box for yes and one for no. He told People they had both been “so anti-marriage”, but because she was Canadian they did not want to risk being separated by new immigration laws once Donald Trump took office.
They married less than two weeks later, on 22 November 2016, at Elton John’s Fizz lounge in Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. She was Feldman’s third wife, after the actress Vanessa Marcil and Susie Sprague, and she went by Courtney Feldman during the marriage.
Her health since 2021
Mitchell has written that her health began to decline in December 2021, when she caught what she called “a bug”. She believes it caused chronic idiopathic urticaria, a form of hives with no identified cause, which she says she had never had before.
Looking back in a January 2024 post, she described “flare after flare” between January 2022 and June 2023, with her doctors and specialists unable to find a solution. On 9 June 2023 she told followers she was hives-free.
Announcing the separation that August, she said she also had chronic fatigue syndrome, which made it hard to keep up with the high energy of touring, and that she could no longer continue on Feldman’s tour.
Around her 35th birthday the following January, she posted photos of herself with the caption “This is me today; my spark is back.” One day, she wrote, she might talk about what it had really taken to get there.
How the marriage ended
On 15 June 2023 Mitchell told followers she was excited about a shoot with her “beloved” husband for Interview magazine, due out days later. Feldman told Interview that month that he had “an amazing wife” and had been “with the same woman for 12 years”. Photographers pictured the couple together in Los Angeles on 21 June. Feldman later named the following day, 22 June, as the date they separated.
The split became public on 7 August, when both gave statements to Page Six. “There is no one to blame,” Feldman said, putting it down to her health and two people who had “grown apart”. Mitchell said: “I love him dearly and I always will.”
She spent that summer with her father in British Columbia. In a Father’s Day video posted in 2025, she recalled swimming in a lake so cold that she needed a wetsuit and goggles, and called the visit a few months when she “desperately needed peace”.
“He took care of me when I was very vulnerable.”
Mitchell, writing about her father in June 2025
Feldman filed for legal separation on 12 September 2023. He told NBC News he was already paying her spousal support voluntarily and was “leaving the door open for reconciliation”. Mitchell answered in February 2024 by filing for divorce, and she listed the separation date as “T.B.D.” where his petition had given 22 June.
Her account of the breakdown came in a filing reported that September. She said the marriage fell apart after she told Feldman in May 2023 that she would stop “partying” and would not tour. Feldman denied it, telling In Touch in November 2024 that he was “deeply hurt by the false accusations” and that they had stopped being compatible “for the same reasons many marriages fall apart”.
The fight over spousal support
| When | Spousal support |
|---|---|
| August 2023 | $2,000 a month, paid voluntarily by Feldman |
| November 2024 | $3,500 a month, ordered by the court as temporary support |
| November 2025 | $7,226 a month, requested by Mitchell |
| February 2026 | $100,000 in total, agreed in the final settlement |
Mitchell asked for the increase last November. According to court papers obtained by Us Weekly, she told the court she was working part time as a barista and at Goodwill, a US chain of charity shops, and pointed to reports that Dancing with the Stars contestants earn $125,000 to $300,000 a season. Feldman had just appeared on the show.
His publicist, Samantha Waranch, told the magazine the requests were “unexpected and excessive” and that Feldman had kept Mitchell on his health insurance since she left. She added that he hopes “everyone in his life chooses to build their own success rather than relying on his”.
On 20 November, nine days after the request, the judge in the case confirmed that the pair had reached a settlement. The Los Angeles Superior Court finalised the divorce on 25 February this year.
Feldman agreed to pay the $100,000 in stages: $10,000 within five days of signing, then $10,000 every two months. Both gave up any claim to further support. He kept three vehicles, five Tesla shares and his Michael Jackson memorabilia, and he remains responsible for a 2021 IRS debt. According to the Daily Mail, Mitchell kept the household furniture, and both signed non-disclosure and non-disparagement agreements.
In June, TMZ reported that Mitchell had gone back to court over a $16,109.50 bill from accountants hired during the divorce to look into Feldman’s finances. Her filing said he agreed in late 2024 to advance the money but paid only $5,000. She also asked for $3,150 in legal costs. No ruling has been reported.
Where Mitchell is now
Mitchell marked two years “clean and sober” on 30 May 2025, in a post thanking God and her support system. After the divorce she returned to California, posting “Back 2 Cali” two days after it was finalised.
Her elderly pug, Chewy, died in March in British Columbia, where her father had been looking after him. She wrote that Chewy was held and comforted at the end, “something I had longed to do but wasn’t able to”.
On 16 July she wrote that she had “officially closed this chapter of our lives”, adding: “Now we can both move forward with Dignity and grace.”
Four days after the post about her setback, she shared a photo of a vegetarian breakfast: eggs, Parmesan and avocado on bread.
