While the two were reported to have finalized their divorce in December 2016 by TMZ, the outlet later reported in May 2018 that the two had never filed a formal custody arrangement for their son.
The two announced their split in October 2015 in a joint statement to PEOPLE at the time, saying, “It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce.”
“We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus of what is best for our son,” the said. “We wish each other nothing but happiness in life and we hope that you respect our and, most importantly, our children’s privacy as we go through this difficult period.”
