Jaime King and Austin Sosa Finalize Divorce After Secret 2025 Marriage
Jaime King and Austin Sosa have officially finalized their divorce, less than two years after secretly marrying in April 2025. A Los Angeles judge signed the dissolution on October 2, 2026, restoring both parties to single status. The couple, who have no children together, had previously disputed the timeline of their separation, with King claiming she was blindsided by Sosa's filing.
Key points
- A Los Angeles judge signed the divorce judgment on October 2, 2026, officially ending the marriage between Jaime King and Austin Sosa.
- The couple secretly married on April 23, 2025, but did not publicly announce the engagement until July 2025.
- Sosa filed for divorce in January 2026, citing 'irreconcilable differences' and listing November 11, 2025, as the separation date.
- King stated she was 'completely blindsided' by the filing, claiming she was with Sosa the night before it became public and believed they were working on their relationship.
- The court judgment terminated the ability to award spousal support to King from Sosa, while Sosa reserved his right to seek support from King.
- The couple has no children together; King shares sons James and Leo with her first husband, Kyle Newman.
Background
This divorce follows a contentious custody battle between King and her first husband, Kyle Newman, which concluded in March 2025 when Newman received sole physical custody after King failed to complete a court-ordered rehabilitation program. King and Newman had finalized their divorce in September 2023. The current divorce concludes a brief, secretive marriage that ended in legal proceedings initiated by Sosa in early 2026.
Why it matters
The finalized divorce resolves a high-profile celebrity relationship that was kept private until its dissolution. The legal outcome, including the specific terms regarding spousal support and the lack of shared assets, provides closure to a story that involved public speculation about King's new relationship with hotelier Vikram Chatwal, which she denied was connected to the marriage's end.
What to watch
Both King and Sosa are now legally single. Sosa retains the right to seek spousal support from King, though the court has barred the reverse. No further legal actions regarding assets or custody are expected, as the couple has no children together and reported no shared assets or debts.
