In her filing, Emily asked to be awarded, "All property, assets and/or debts acquired before marriage, after separation, or during my marriage by gift or inheritance.”

The court documents revealed Ben pulls in around $9k monthly while Emily makes around $7k monthly. The agreement stated, “We have already divided our property and agree that we are each keeping the property that is in our name or possession.”

Months before filing for divorce Emily posted a cryptic message on social media.
“Today, on our anniversary, I want to celebrate the evolution of our love. We moved through the dissolution process carefully and without frivolity or malintent, tracking this choice to follow our north stars as something important. This decision to follow our own paths was a strong and courageous choice and a source of mutual connection and strength,” she wrote.
She added, “It’s a reminder that we always have a choice in every moment – we choose to love one another – and all that remains is the light of understanding and grace. I will always love, respect, and support you and our children on this journey of a million miles. Here's to the next best chapter of our love.”
