Amy later showed off the divorce papers during the February 6, 2024, episode.
“I signed the final documents and that’s the end of an era,” she said. “I’m ready for it to be over with.”
“Even though the divorce was shorter than expected, like, less than six months, it took a mental toll on my body and a physical toll on me that I’m seeking help for,” she added. “Michael and me are sharing custody. I get the boys 70 percent of the time, Michael gets ‘em 30.”
