The duo started dating in 2013 and married in 2018. It seems like the actress, 28, is moving forward, as she reportedly closed on a home in Florida.

At the time, he responded to the situation, claiming he didn't know the age of the fan when they connected virtually.

“When I became aware of their age, all conversation and communication stopped," he said in 2021. “I was not charged with anything physical. I was not charged with the disseminating of photographs or images or anything like that. This is strictly over text messages.”

“It’s not me telling you that the claims are false,” he continued, “but the state of Ohio has proven the claims to be false. If these claims were remotely true, my situation would be very different. I would not be here at home with my wife and my son.”

He added, “When I was presented with a plea deal because of the messages. I felt that it was the best way to get this over quickly and for everybody involved to be able to move on and for me to get back to doing what I love, and that’s making music for you.”
