Jaime King and Austin Sosa, her second husband, are divorcing

Hollywood actress Jaime King is once again heading through a major change in her personal life as her second husband, Austin Sosa, has filed for divorce. The filing, which came on January 22, 2026, was confirmed by multiple entertainment outlets after court records were reviewed, revealing that Sosa — an investment banker — officially sought to end their marriage.

The news marked a surprising turnaround for fans, as King and Sosa had appeared to be happily engaged just seven months earlier. The couple first announced their engagement in July 2025, celebrating what seemed to be a fresh chapter in life for the 46-year-old actress, who had navigated the challenges of a highly publicised first divorce before. 

Details about the wedding itself remain scarce. Unlike many celebrity relationships that play out on the red carpet, King and Sosa kept much of their romance private — even reportedly tying the knot in a secret ceremony that was not widely known to the public. The exact date of their marriage has not yet been disclosed, but the divorce filing confirms their union will now soon be legally dissolved.

While the legal documents confirm the divorce filing, the reasons behind the split remain unclear. Neither King nor Sosa has publicly explained what led to this sudden decision, and King’s representatives have not issued an official statement at the time of reporting.

The timing has drawn attention because recent reports suggested King had been seen in public with another figure, hotel owner Vikram Chatwal, leading to speculation about the state of her marriage. However, King reportedly denied that these social outings were romantic, explaining that her interactions with Chatwal were strictly business.

King’s romantic history reflects a journey of highs and lows. She was previously married to filmmaker Kyle Newman, who she married in 2007. That marriage lasted many years but ultimately ended in a very public divorce that was finalised in September 2023. The proceedings included a contentious custody battle over their two sons, Leo and James, which has continued to be part of King’s personal narrative.

After her split from Newman, King found support and love in her relationship with Sosa. At the time of their engagement in 2025, she expressed joy and gratitude, especially noting the strong bond Sosa had with her children. She had even moved in with his family as she transitioned out of her Los Angeles home, signalling a deepening of their connection.

Now, as Sosa’s divorce filing goes public, fans and followers are left reflecting on how quickly things can shift in the spotlight. Celebrity relationships often face intense public scrutiny, and when a private union ends so soon after a hopeful beginning, many wonder what pressures or personal challenges might have contributed.

As this story continues to develop, people close to the couple and entertainment news outlets will likely share more details. For now, the focus remains on King and how she navigates this latest chapter — personally, professionally, and as a mother.
