According to Los Angeles court documents obtained by Us Weekly, the 39-year-old cited “dissolution with minor children” in reference to their two beautiful daughters, Mia, 8, and Penna, 6.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 star, 55, announced they’d separated on October 31, days after rumours began circulating he initiated the split and had already asked his wife to move out of their family’s home.
“It is with a heavy heart that I tell you Erin and I are splitting up. With our hectic work schedules we could not be busier, and over the last few years have grown apart. She is one of the most incredible women I have ever met and the best mom to our kids,” he told his 509, 000 followers on Instagram.
He continued: “It has come to my attention that things are being written and said to sensationalize a situation that is simply not sensational. Any quote attributed to me is completely false and solely meant by haters to undermine our intention to continue to get along, protect and raise our daughters, and be examples of successful co-parents. We ask that you respect our privacy at this difficult time as we focus on what is important to us, our girls.”
The lifestyle blogger— who tied the knot with the Hollywood star in May 2010— also shared a message which echoed a similar sentiment.
“After 9 1/2 years of marriage Ian asked for a divorce. After having asked multiple times I knew it was time to give up. Knowing that I am not the person to make him happy makes the situation feel more peaceful,” she wrote on Instagram. “The girls and I are doing great and finding gratitude and love in our new life together and rebuilding. Thank you to everyone who has been reaching out and I am sorry if I do not get a chance to respond right now. I appreciate your love and the sisterhood of women who surrounds me during this time.”
