As we look back on 2023, here are six celebrity couples who headed to the courthouse to file for divorce from their spouses.
On March 1, PEOPLE reported that Ralph Pittman filed to divorce ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Drew Sidora. The pair were married for almost nine years.
In the filing, Pittman reportedly listed their date of separation as February 23. Furthermore, his filing contributed to the couple’s split to irreconcilable divorces.
Then, the following day, reports surfaced of Sidora’s amended divorce complaint. RadarOnline reported that Sidora accused Pittman of being a “serial cheater and adulterer.”
Additionally, Sidora also accused Pittman of being physically aggressive toward her, per The Shade Room.
At the time, it was also revealed that Sidora beat Pittman to the courthouse. Additionally, it was noted that Sidora filed her petition just 61 minutes ahead of Pittman.
In August, Sidora opened up about her and Pittman’s split on the season finale of ‘RHOA.’
“It has been a lot of things that have been happening over the course of the marriage, and, honestly, things were just not getting better,” she explained.
In late March, The Shade Room obtained exclusive documents revealing that Eva Marcille filed for divorce from her husband, Michael Sterling. The former couple were married for five years and share two children.
Marcille’s filing was reportedly made on March 23 in the Super Court of Fulton County in Georgia.
At the time, documents revealed that Marcille found their marriage irretrievably broken with no hope for reconciliation.
Additionally, the actor and model requested legal and primary custody of her and Sterling’s children.
A few days later, Sterling shared a statement with The Jasmine Brand. He proclaimed that he would not give up on his marriage to Marcille.
“I am not going to lose my wife. I am going to fight for her with every fiber in my being. I love her, and I plan to show her how much I love her and that our love is strong enough to get to the other side,” Sterling told the outlet, per The Shade Room.
However, on August 25, RadarOnline reported that Sterling and Marcille finalized their divorce earlier that month. Additionally, the outlet noted that the terms of the ex-couple’s agreement had been privately settled.
