Laura Prepon and Ben Foster divorcing after more than 6 years of marriage, 2 kids
Laura Prepon and Ben Foster are divorcing after more than six years of marriage.
According to court documents obtained Tuesday by Page Six, Foster, 44, is the one who submitted the petition in Nashville, where he and Prepon, also 44, have lived with their two children for the past two years.
The actor cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and listed their date of separation as Sept. 9 — the same day he filed for divorce.
He also asked the court to “make an equitable division of the marital assets and debts of the parties based upon the terms of the parties’ Prenuptial Agreement,” which he and the actress signed when they got married in New York City in May 2018.
Foster noted that he anticipates he and Prepon “will enter into a Marital Dissolution Agreement and an Agreed Parenting Plan” regarding custody of their 7-year-old daughter, Ella, and 4-year-old son, whose name begins with the letter “A,” per the filing.
Reps for the pair did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Sources told TMZ, who was first to report the news, that Foster now lives in Los Angeles.
The duo, who met via Prepon’s “That ’70s Show” co-star Danny Masterson, went public with their romance in the summer of 2016.
That October, they made their red carpet debut as a couple, at which time they also revealed they were engaged.
News of the “Orange Is the New Black” star’s first pregnancy broke in January 2017; she accidentally disclosed that June that she and Foster were expecting a baby girl the following month.
In June 2018, Prepon announced that she and the “Hell or High Water” star had tied the knot.
The following October, the former Scientologist revealed she and Foster were expanding their family, and she gave birth to a baby boy in February 2020.
