18-Year Union Ends: Courtney Thorne-Smith Files for Divorce
SCANDALOUS SEPARATION: Courtney Thorne-Smith Files for Divorce from Roger Fishman After Nearly 4 Years of Separation!
It's been a long and winding road for actress Courtney Thorne-Smith, who has finally filed for divorce from husband Roger Fishman after nearly four years of reported separation. The Melrose Place star, now 56, is citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split, according to court documents obtained by TheScholarlyNote.com.
But here's the juiciest part: Thorne-Smith submitted the paperwork without the help of a lawyer, indicating that she's been working hard to move on from her marriage. And it looks like she's got some serious closure - or at least, that's what we're hoping for! The court documents also reveal that their date of separation is listed as September 1, 2021, which means they've been living apart for quite some time.
So, what happened? Well, sources close to the couple claim that Fishman and Thorne-Smith have been having issues for years. But did you know that they got married in a super-secret ceremony back in 2007? Yep, it was so private that even their parents and closest friends weren't invited! Talk about keeping things under wraps!
This marks Thorne-Smith's second marriage - her first being to geneticist Andrew Conrad from 2000 to 2001. And let's not forget her famous romance with Melrose Place co-star Andrew Shue in the '90s. But it looks like she's ready to move on and start a new chapter.
As part of the divorce proceedings, Thorne-Smith is requesting joint legal and physical custody of their only child, Jacob Emerson Fishman - now 17 and getting close to adulthood. She's also asking the court to terminate any spousal support claims between her and Fishman.
In a bizarre twist, Thorne-Smith was previously engaged to doctor Robert Andrews in 2004 before calling off the wedding just weeks before the big day. And remember when she nearly married another doc just as her wedding photos hit newsstands on the cover of a bridal magazine? Yeah, that didn't end well either!
Despite all the drama and setbacks, Thorne-Smith seems determined to get it right this time around. After all, she and Fishman met at an airport - talk about a love connection! Her rep, Jim Boutman, confirmed their marriage in 2007, describing the ceremony as "a private celebration with one close friend and their dogs in attendance."
TheScholarlyNote.com has reached out to Thorne-Smith's reps for comment, but so far, we've received no response. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story!
