Jaime King has finalised her divorce.
Jaime King is divorced
The Hart of Dixie star split from Austin Sosa earlier this year after they tied the knot in secret in April 2025 – months before they announced in July that year that they were engaged – and now a judge in Los Angeles has signed off on the dissolution of their marriage, restoring the former couple to the status of single persons.
According to documents obtained by the New York Post’s Page Six, the judgment showed Austin reserved his right to seek spousal support from his former wife, while the court terminated its ability to award spousal support to Jaime from her ex-husband.
Back in June, Austin sought to expedite the process, filing paperwork to ask the judge to end their marriage by default.
According to TMZ, the investment banker explained they didn’t have a settlement agreement in place but there were no assets or debts to complicate the process.
The 47-year-old actress – who has sons James, 13, and 11-year-old Leo with ex-husband Kyle Newman – confirmed her engagement to Austin last July after a whirlwind six-month romance and later insisted she was too busy focusing on her kids to plan a wedding, but it was later revealed the pair tied the knot in secret and Sosa filed for divorce to bring the union to an end.
After the divorce petition was filed, Jaime declared she had no idea her former partner was planning to end the marriage officially.
She told Us Weekly: “I was completely blindsided by the divorce filing, which came out of nowhere. “I was with Austin the night before it became public, and while like many marriages we had normal challenges, I genuinely believed we were working on our relationship …
“This is deeply personal and should remain private, and I hope people will stop making assumptions – particularly ones that unfairly and disproportionately scrutinise women simply for doing their jobs.”
Back in October 2025, Jaime had insisted she was too busy looking after her sons to concentrate on planning a wedding.
She told Us Weekly magazine: “My main focus is them [the kids]. So my main focus is not necessarily planning some extravaganza. My focus is chilling with them, enjoying my time with them.
“Enjoying their time with Austin and our other friends that love them so dearly. It would be too singular of a focus to make it just about a wedding.
“To me, every day is about being very present. And you know, focusing on the children first and foremost. The wedding, it’s honestly not the main thing in terms of a ceremony. It’s just a vow that’s extremely important, and [being] happy and enjoying our time together.”
