Liam Hemsworth has officially filed for divorce from Miley Cyrus — days after the stars announced their split, and the singer was caught kissing new flame Kaitlynn Carter.
According to Los Angeles court records obtained by RadarOnline.com, the Hunger Games actor filed a petition on Wednesday, August 21, citing "irreconcilable differences."
The 29-year-old listed the marriage date as December 23, 2018, but said the separation date was TBD.
He claimed the estranged couple signed a prenup before their Nashville ceremony.
"Pursuant to the parties' Premarital Agreement, all assets and obligations of each party are his/her separate property," the documents state.
The papers indicate that high-powered divorce lawyer Laura Wasser has signed on to represent him in the court proceedings.
