Bachelor Nation's J.P. Rosenbaum & Ashley Hebert Planned Their Divorce Together, Filed Legal Docs On Same Day
Nine months after calling it quits on their relationship, Bachelor Nation’s J.P. Rosenbaum and Ashley Hebert have taken the next step and officially filed for divorce.
In court documents obtained by OK!, Rosenbaum submitted paperwork to dissolve their marriage on July 28 in Florida. Hebert responded the same day, indicating it was planned between the two on the exact date they would file.
The reality TV couple, who tied the knot in December 2012, announced they were heading towards splitsville late last year.
"It is with a heavy heart that I share with you that, after months of separation, J.P. and I have amicably decided to go our separate ways," the 36-year-old reality TV star captioned a photo of herself slow dancing with her estranged husband via Instagram in October 2020. "We created the most beautiful children and shared memories that will never be forgotten. Our differences have taken a toll on our relationship and after years of attempting to repair the damage, we’ve decided that it is in our family’s best interest to create new and separate lives for our children."
The former flames, who met on season 7 of The Bachelorette, share two children together: son Fordham, 6, and daughter Essex, 4. It is unclear on the custody agreement between the exes.
Rosenbaum, 44, noted that the split caused him “extreme sadness,” before revealing the duo had actually been separated for “quite a while.”
"Please please please know that there is no one to blame, that there’s no event that triggered this decision, that no one is the victim, and that we’ve done absolutely everything we possibly can to try to salvage this marriage,” he declared at the time. “I think we’ve both come to realize that we are just two very different people, with very different personalities and perspectives, who just don’t see eye to eye on a lot life fundamentals, those which are the building blocks for a happy and healthy marriage."
