What did Austin Sosa file in court?

In the June 22 filing, the investor stated that he and the White Chicks actress have no assets or debts to be disposed of by the court.

Why does Jaime King say she was blindsided?
In January, Sosa filed for divorce from the Hart of Dixie alum after she was seen getting cozy with hotelier Vikram Chatwal. King exclusively told Page Six that she was caught completely off guard by Sosa filing for divorce.
“I was completely blindsided by the divorce filing, which came out of nowhere,” the Sin City star told Page Six in January. “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,” she added.
King also denied that anything romantic was going on between her and Chatwal. “Any recent interactions being referenced publicly were strictly professional business meetings and have no connection to this private matter,” she told the outlet.
When did Jaime King and Austin Sosa marry?
Sosa and King kept their secret marriage under wraps. However, Page Six exclusively reported that the pair wed in April 2025. In the divorce filing, Sosa listed their date of separation as Nov. 11, 2025, and cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
The escalating court battle adds another high-profile split to Celebrity Breaking News, where breakups and legal filings continue to dominate headlines.
How does this connect to her divorce from Kyle Newman?
King shares sons James, 12, and Leo, 10, with her ex-husband, Kyle Newman, whom the actress was married to from 2007 to 2023. The exes had contentious divorce proceedings, with King accusing the filmmaker of abuse.
Newman denied her allegations and claimed the Pearl Harbor star was a chronic drug addict and alcoholic who would allegedly be strung out and drunk while the kids were in her care. Newman and King settled their split in September 2023.
The following month, the My Bloody Valentine 3D actress lost physical custody of the boys after failing to complete a drug and alcohol rehab program. Now, King faces a second bitter divorce as Sosa pushes to end their brief marriage on an accelerated timeline.
