It is officially over: the Jaime King divorce from investment banker Austin Sosa was finalized on Friday, Oct. 2, when a Los Angeles judge signed the dissolution judgment and restored both parties to single status, according to court documents obtained by Page Six. TMZ also reported the split is now official, closing the book on a marriage that lasted less than two years and was conducted almost entirely out of the public eye.
King, 47, the “Sin City” and “Hart of Dixie” actress, secretly wed Sosa, 34, in 2025 — and the union unraveled almost as quietly as it began. By January, Sosa had filed for divorce; by June, he was pushing to fast-track the proceedings; and by the first week of October, the marriage was legally over. For a relationship that began in secrecy, the ending proved to be one of the fastest celebrity splits of the year.
What the Jaime King Divorce Court Documents Say
The judgment, entered Friday in Los Angeles, formally dissolves the marriage and returns King and Sosa to single status, per the court documents Page Six obtained. The decree caps a divorce case that moved at remarkable speed — roughly nine months from filing to final judgment — and reflects just how little there was to untangle: Sosa told the court the couple had no shared assets and no shared debts.
The filing and the judgment together paint a picture of a marriage that barely had time to leave a paper trail. With no shared property, no shared debts, and no children together, there was little for the court to divide — and the case proceeded through an uncontested, or default, dissolution process that Sosa requested in June.
Key facts in the Jaime King divorce
- Judgment signed: Friday, Oct. 2, by a Los Angeles judge, restoring both parties to single status
- Wedding: secretly held in 2025 — Just Jared reports April 2025; Page Six describes it as before Christmas 2025 (the outlets disagree slightly on the timing)
- Divorce filed: January, citing irreconcilable differences, with Nov. 11, 2025, listed as the date of separation
- Assets and debts: none shared, per Sosa’s June filing seeking an expedited uncontested dissolution
- Children together: none
- Spousal support: Sosa’s right to seek it from King was reserved; the court’s ability to award it to King was terminated
The Secret 2025 Wedding — and a Date Discrepancy
One of the strangest footnotes in this split is that the outlets cannot quite agree on when the wedding even happened. Just Jared reports the couple married in April 2025, having first reported on the secret nuptials that same month. Page Six, however, has described the timing differently, characterizing the wedding as having taken place before Christmas 2025.
The discrepancy is small but worth flagging: the exact wedding date should be treated as a matter of differing reports between the two outlets, not settled fact. What is not in dispute is that the marriage was kept secret — the public learned of the union only after the fact, when the divorce filing made it impossible to keep hidden any longer.
“Completely Blindsided”: The January Filing
Sosa filed for divorce in January, citing irreconcilable differences and listing Nov. 11, 2025, as the couple’s date of separation. Five months later, in June, he moved to expedite the case through an uncontested, or default, dissolution, telling the court the couple had no shared assets or debts — a move that signaled he wanted the marriage ended quickly and cleanly.
King, however, said the filing came as a shock. She told Page Six at the time that she was “completely blindsided” by the divorce, which she said came “out of nowhere.” It was a rare moment of candor from an actress who had kept the entire relationship — wedding included — largely out of the spotlight.
King’s Statement to Us Weekly After the Judgment
After the judgment was signed, King offered a brief, forward-looking statement to Us Weekly: “I’m looking ahead with a lot of gratitude and hope… My children are my heart and my priority.” King is a mother, and her children — whom she does not share with Sosa, as the couple had no children together — remain her focus as she moves on from the marriage.
The statement marks her first substantive public comment since the split was finalized, and its tone stands in contrast to the shock she expressed when the divorce was first filed. Where January brought surprise, October brings resolution — at least on paper.
Jaime King Divorce: The Spousal Support Terms
The financial terms of the judgment are strikingly one-sided. The decree reserves Sosa’s right to seek spousal support from King in the future, while at the same time terminating the court’s ability to award spousal support to King. In plain terms: he left the door open to ask her for support later; she cannot ask him.
Combined with the couple’s sworn statement that they hold no shared assets and no shared debts, the judgment amounts to a clean — if lopsided — legal break. Nine months after the filing, and less than two years after the reported wedding, Jaime King and Austin Sosa are strangers in the eyes of the law.
Jaime King: From Sin City to Hart of Dixie
King, 47, is best known to audiences for her work in “Sin City” and the CW drama “Hart of Dixie.” The divorce from Sosa is the latest chapter in a personal life that has occasionally made as many headlines as her screen career — and her terse, gracious statement suggests she intends to keep the focus on her work and her children going forward.
