Despite reports they split up on decent terms last spring, it looks Gabriel just wants to protect his legal rights. He filed a petition for joint physical and legal custody along with support.

As for why their five year relationship fizzled in the first place? Source told RadarOnline, "Gabriel felt it just wasn't working any more. When they were first together, the nine year age difference between them didn't phase him, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever dated and was totally in love."
