Laura Prepon and Ben Foster, who exchanged vows in June 2018, are reportedly ending their six-year marriage.
According to TMZ, Ben Foster filed for divorce from Laura Prepon on Tuesday, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their separation. Court documents reveal that the two have already been living apart, with Laura reportedly residing in Tennessee while Ben has moved back to Los Angeles.
Speculation about their split arose after the 44-year-old actress posted a Halloween photo on Instagram in which she was noticeably without her wedding ring. Fans were quick to question the absence of the ring, sparking rumors of a possible separation.
Laura Prepon and Ben Foster's relationship began in 2016, surprising many when they announced their engagement in October of that year after only a few months of dating. Their first child, a daughter named Ella, was born in August 2017, and the couple went on to tie the knot in a private ceremony in June 2018.
In 2020, the couple joyfully announced the birth of their second child, a son, with Laura sharing the news on social media. "Welcoming home our new bundle of love. Overwhelmed with gratitude," she captioned a photo of herself holding the newborn. Throughout their relationship, Laura and Ben kept much of their private life away from the public eye, focusing on family rather than fame.
News of their separation has come as a shock to fans who admired the couple’s seemingly close bond and quiet, family-focused lifestyle. Although no further details about the divorce proceedings have been made public, the couple's split marks the end of a well-regarded Hollywood relationship.
