Jaime King and Austin Sosa divorced after secret whirlwind marriage: split leaves them blindsided
The filings make clear the former couple did not have children together. Representatives for both King and Sosa did not immediately offer comments to the press.
How the legal process unfolded
Sosa first filed for divorce in January, citing irreconcilable differences and listing Nov. 11, 2025, as the couple’s separation date. In June he moved to speed the case, asking the court to treat the matter as a default or uncontested dissolution.
- Sosa indicated there were no joint assets or debts to divide.
- He described the case as uncontested to accelerate the judgment.
- The judge finalized the dissolution in a recent ruling.
Secret wedding, public engagement and a short marriage
Page Six previously revealed the pair married privately on April 23, 2025. King later announced an engagement in July, framing it as a joyful moment shared with her children.
The marriage lasted under two years before the split was formalized in court.
Media attention, denials and personal statements
After the divorce filing, reports connected King to hotelier Vikram Chatwal. King pushed back, saying recent encounters were professional and unrelated to her marriage.
She also told reporters she was surprised by the filing. King said she believed they were working on their relationship and that the move to end the marriage came as a shock.
What sources reported
- Outlets noted social outings between King and Chatwal in Los Angeles.
- King described those meetings as business in nature.
- The timing of media reports and the divorce filing drew public scrutiny.
Family history and custody matters
King is the mother of two sons, James, 12, and Leo, 11, from her marriage to filmmaker Kyle Newman. She and Newman ended their marriage in 2023 after years of legal conflict.
Their custody dispute continued after the divorce was finalized. In March 2025, Newman was awarded sole physical custody after King failed to complete a court-ordered rehab program. They retain joint legal custody, and King has supervised visitation.
