The pair first met in 2005 and married the following year. They share two daughters, ages 17 and 14.
After TMZ first broke the news, BuzzFeed has obtained court documents that confirm Nicole filed for divorce from Keith earlier today. Their date of separation is also listed as today, Sept. 30.
“Irreconcilable differences” are given as the reason for divorce, with Nicole stating that she should be “named primary residential parent of the minor children.”
A marital dissolution agreement, signed by both Keith and Nicole, has also been filed. It confirms neither party will pay spousal support or alimony to the other. The document was notarized yesterday, Sept. 30.
Nicole and Keith have also signed a parenting plan, under which their children will live with Nicole as their primary residence. Keith will have the kids every other weekend and has “already prepaid all child support obligations owed.” It’s worth noting that Keith signed as early as late August, suggesting that the process has been ongoing for some weeks.
