Former Bachelorette<\/em><\/a>\u00a0DeAnna Pappas<\/strong><\/a> had her child support reduced to zero after her ex-husband, Stephen Stagliano<\/strong><\/a>, told the court he\u2019s driving Uber and is struggling to find another job, Us Weekly<\/em> can exclusively report.<\/p>\n

On Monday, October 20, Pappas, 43, her lawyer and Stagliano, 41, appeared at the Superior Court of Los Angeles. The court heard from both parties before ruling that Stagliano will no longer have to pay child support, effective retroactively to May.<\/p>\n

Stagliano was previously required to pay Pappas $1,000 per month in child support and another $1,500 per month in spousal support, per a March 2024 divorce settlement.<\/p>\n

In court documents, Stagliano stated he was previously the CEO and founder of a gaming company named Story Games Inc. He said he was unemployed as of April 1 after the company failed to secure additional funding.<\/p>\n

On September 30, Stagliano told the court, \u201cI am actively looking for a job. I have applied to over 150 jobs in various industries with no success. I drive for Uber to generate income when I can. I have paid $1,500 in Alimony to [Pappas] every single month.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her filing, Stagliano said he earned $436 last month<\/a>. He said he had $10,089 in the bank but his monthly expenses totaled $7,437. He said he spends $4,300 on rent, $550 on groceries, $100 on eating out, $450 on utilities and various other bills. In addition, he listed over $36,000 in debt owed on a car and two credit cards.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tDeAnna Pappas can\u2019t wait to see what Taylor Frankie Paul\u2019s experience as the Bachelorette will be like. \u201cI\u2019m a little curious about how it\u2019s going to go with the merging of the two shows because The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is very different from The Bachelorette,\u201d DeAnna, 43, exclusively shared with Us Weekly as [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In an April 14 filing, Stagliano told the court, \u201cMy financial situation has changed drastically. I am looking for work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stagliano said when he agreed to pay Pappas $1,000 per month in support, he was working as a manager at Riot Games, earning $12,750 per month and $175,000 per year, with bonuses, before taxes. He said that after he left Riot Games to start his own company in 2023, his income dropped to around $150,000 per year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe business I attempted to start was a gaming entertainment studio. I invested significant time and personal resources into this venture. While I made some progress \u2014 including building a full-time team, building a prototype, attracting additional early investment interest and launching an audio book \u2014 the business did not generate sustainable income due to the gaming market conditions and lack of funding.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said he made $24,000 in total income in 2024. At the time, Stagliano explained, \u201cI have had two interviews so far and no offers. I am actively networking with industry peers and potential clients and updating my portfolio and resume and tailoring it to roles in gaming, education, sports and entertainment. I am exploring both full-time and contract work opportunities, including coaching soccer and jiu-jitsu just to earn any income i can.\u201d<\/p>\n
