Actress Jaime King has finalized her divorce from investor Austin Sosa, closing the book on a brief and tumultuous marriage. A Los Angeles judge ruled to dissolve the pair's marriage on October 2, nearly nine months after their split became public. Court documents show that Sosa forfeited his right to receive spousal support from King, though the court reserved the actress's right to seek spousal support from him.
The marriage was remarkably short. King and Sosa wed in secret before Christmas in 2025, and he filed for divorce in January. King said at the time that she was completely blindsided by the filing, which she said came out of nowhere. She said she had been with Sosa the night before it became public, and that while like many marriages they had normal challenges, she genuinely believed they were working on their relationship.
The split followed what had been a whirlwind courtship. For King, best known for her roles in Hart of Dixie and Sin City, the relationship represented a new chapter after an earlier and far more protracted divorce battle. She was previously married to director Kyle Newman, with whom she settled a contentious divorce in September 2023, three years after their split. The couple shares two children.
In a statement shared with Us Weekly, King struck a forward-looking tone. She said she was looking ahead with a lot of gratitude and hope, describing her children as her heart and her priority. The next chapter, she said, is about being present for them, continuing to grow, and embracing the creative and professional opportunities ahead.
The finalized divorce removes the last legal tie between King and Sosa, whose marriage lasted barely a year from wedding to dissolution. For a celebrity whose personal life has repeatedly played out in court filings and headlines, the resolution offers a measure of closure. King now turns her attention to her children and her career, with the drama of the past year, at least legally speaking, behind her.
The case moved unusually fast by Los Angeles standards, where contested divorces can drag on for years. That the marriage was dissolved in a single judicial ruling nine months after Sosa filed suggests there was little left to contest. Legal observers note that short marriages with few shared assets tend to resolve quickly, and the forfeiture of spousal support by Sosa removes the most common source of protracted litigation. For King, who endured a three-year battle with Newman, the contrast could hardly be sharper.
