Celebrity Divorce

Donald Trump Jr. ain't licking his wounds after his wife filed for divorce ... he's rallying with the help of a 3-year-old Smurf.

Donnie Jr. posted a pic with his 3-year-old daughter, Chloe, Thursday night ... not long after Vanessa Trump filed for divorce in the Manhattan courts. Don Jr. captioned it, "No matter what is going on bedtime cuddling with the smurf puts a Yuge smile on my face." He ended the post with #bedtime #daddysgirl #cuddle.

As we reported ... sources connected to the family tell TMZ the divorce had been a long time coming. Among the issues ... Vanessa hates politics and we're told the last straw was when someone sent her fam an envelope containing white powder.

One source said Donald Jr. was "relieved."

Donald Trump Jr.'s wife is filing to divorce him after nearly 13 years of marriage.

Vanessa Trump filed docs Thursday in the Manhattan courts, and she's seeking an uncontested proceeding. That's a strong sign the couple has already hammered out details of their split, such as child custody and property.

Sources connected to the family tell TMZ the divorce has been a long time coming, and the relationship has been "bad for a while." Among the issues, Vanessa "hates politics and Don Jr. is gone all the time."

One source says contrary to being upset, Don Jr. is "relieved."

They have 5 children together -- between the ages of 3 and 10, and got married in 2005.

According to the NY Post, which first reported the split, Vanessa's been upset about some of his controversial tweets ... most of which defend President Trump and his policies.

Vanessa got a major scare just last month, when she received an envelope with white powder, and a hate letter for Don Jr. that read, in part, "You the family idiot. This is the reason why people hate you. You are getting what you deserve." The powder turned out to be corn starch, and the sender was eventually arrested.

Eric Dane might be having a major blonde moment in the wake of him and his wife filing for divorce -- that, or he's just really feeling himself ... we're not sure.

The "Grey's Anatomy" star was spotted rockin' a brand new 'do Tuesday in WeHo -- combed up and to the side ... and a bit more bleached than what we're used to seeing. He was also wearing a pair of cool sunglasses, with a very cool coat. Ladykiller, are we right?

We broke the story ... Eric's wife of 14 years, Rebecca Gayheart, filed for divorce last month, and Eric responded with a very similar filing. He agreed to her spousal support request, as well as her bid to gain joint legal and physical custody of their 2 kids.

Now that most of the dirty work appears to be settled ... time to get back to channeling McSteamy.

Julie Bowen's estranged husband wants her to pay up in their divorce case.

Scott Phillips filed legal docs and said he wants her to pay spousal support. That could be a hefty payout for Scott if he gets it -- Julie is reportedly making $500k per episode on "Modern Family" for seasons 9 and 10.

In the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Scott said he also wants joint physical and legal custody of their 3 kids. But the biggy here is spousal support.

The "Modern Family" star is raking in tons of dough off the show, and there's also endorsement deals, including from Neutrogena. Forbes estimated she made about $10 million in 2016, alone.

TMZ broke the story ... Julie called it quits with her husband of 13 years when she filed for divorce back in February. As we reported ... their relationship had been on the rocks for some time.

Mel B is a drug addict and alcoholic who has walked into doors and has been hospitalized for ODs, and she has covered up the bruises and other injuries from her addiction by claiming it was domestic violence ... so says her ex-husband, Stephen Belafonte.

Belafonte just filed legal docs in an effort to get visitation rights in connection with his stepdaughter, Angel, whose biological father is Eddie Murphy. Belafonte, who has been with Angel almost since her birth, claims Mel B is concocting lies about domestic violence to turn Angel against him.

He refers to a 2014 incident in London where Mel B claims he bashed her head into a door. Belafonte says, in fact, what happened was that Mel B ODd on drugs, was hospitalized and sustained bruises from the EKG machine and IV during her stay in the hospital, and falsely claimed it was the result of abuse.

He says she is so addicted to drugs and alcohol she walks into walls because she's drunk in the middle of the day. He says she is so wasted sometimes she will pull down her pants and try to urinate on the couch in front of the kids.

He also notes in his legal docs, obtained by TMZ, her claims that he forced her to have 3-ways is a lie. He says he has videos where Mel B initiates and records the trysts and looks into the camera and says, "That's hot!" and "I like it."

Mel claimed in docs Stephen showed the kids ISIS beheadings. He says this is a blatant lie and he hasn't even searched for such videos.

Courtney Stodden surprisingly wants no spousal support from her estranged hubby, Doug Hutchison.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Courtney cites irreconcilable differences for the reason they're splitting. She lists September 1, 2017 as the date of separation and she did NOT request spousal support.

We broke the story ... Courtney filed divorce docs Tuesday, but at the time it was unknown if she or Doug would ask for spousal support. They announced their split back in February 2017 but she begged for him back as recently as January, literally making a "public cry" for him back.

To read between the lines it seems there's a prenup, which is why she doesn't ask for spousal support.

The documents include earnings info ... she says both Courtney and Doug each makes $2,500 a month. We're guessing she made a mistake with Doug's income ... it would seem he makes more.

Courtney and Doug got married in 2011 ... when she was 16 and he was 51.

Courtney Stodden's made the move to officially end her marriage with actor Doug Hutchison after more than 6 years together ... TMZ has learned.

Courtney filed divorce docs Tuesday, but it's unknown at this time whether she or Doug will ask for spousal support. The couple announced a split in February 2017, but it was unclear if they were trying to reconcile ... until now.

The couple has no children together.

Jeremy Meeks will be a little lighter in the pockets ... because he's agreed to pay child support.

Jeremy struck a deal in his divorce case and will pay his estranged wife, Melissa, $1,000 a month, and that's retroactive to November 1, 2017 ... meaning he's gotta pony up 4 months worth of support.

Jeremy and Melissa also agreed to joint legal custody of 9-year-old Jeremy Jr., who will spend 30% of his time with his dad. Good news for Jeremy? He doesn't have to pay spousal support.

Melissa's attorney, Lisa Bloom, tells us, "We are pleased that we were able to get Melissa child support in an amount 25% above legal guidelines. And the parties have worked together to come up with a reasonable child custody and visitation schedule, as parents should."

TMZ broke the story ... the 2 sides were ordered to mediation, but everyone was a no-show because the sides were trying to hammer out a deal. Deal's done, but the judge still needs to sign off.

12:02 PM PT -- Jennifer lists "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for separation. She's requesting joint legal custody of their son and is asking for spousal support. There is not a date of separation listed.

According to the docs, there's already an existing custody arrangement in place.

Jim Belushi's wife has filed for divorce after almost 20 years of marriage.

Jennifer Sloan filed docs Monday in L.A. The couple has two kids together ... an 18-year-old daughter named Jamison and 15-year-old son Jared. Belushi married Jennifer in May of 1998.

Jim starred on "Saturday Night Live" from 1983-85. His biggest solo success came with the sitcom "According to Jim" which ran from 2001-2009.

Mary J. Blige is finally gonna put the drama behind her ... TMZ's learned she's reached a settlement in her bitter divorce case.

The Oscar-nominated singer/actress and her estranged husband, Martin Isaacs, were supposed to start their week-long divorce trial Monday morning in L.A., but we've learned the trial was called off because the two sides struck a deal on Friday.

Justin Theroux's keeping his jewelry to a minimum ... he's ditched the wedding ring.

Justin was seen strolling around NYC Thursday and it looks like he's putting his marriage to Jennifer Aniston behind him. It's the first time we've seen him out without the ring.

As we reported ... Justin and Jennifer announced the day after Valentine's Day they were separating after getting married in 2015. We got him out a few days before V-Day and he was hiding the hand that woulda showed us a wedding ring.

Ricky Schroder and wife Andrea are selling off the last vestige of their marriage ... a Malibu mansion.

The estranged couple is selling their oceanfront home -- you can actually see Catalina on a clear day. The listing price is $5,450,000.

The house, a California bungalow, ain't big at all -- 1,250 square feet, although it looks bigger. It's got 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It's really all about the ocean.

The home is in Andrea Schroder's name, but it appears to be fair game in their pending divorce. Andrea filed in 2016 and wants full custody of their 16-year-old daughter, Faith. They have 4 kids but the other 3 are adults.

The "NYPD Blue" and "Silver Spoons" star and Andrea presumably would split profits from the sale.

They were married for 24 years.

Lisa Marie Presley has to ante up $100,000 to her estranged husband ... a particularly difficult task since she says she's flat broke.

The judge in her divorce case ordered the payment to Michael Lockwood within 30 days. It's unclear how she'll pay the loot, because she claims she's $16 million in the hole.

Lockwood has claimed Lisa's lying about her assets, alleging she rakes in way more money than she spends.

Eric Dane has filed his response to Rebecca Gayheart's divorce, and it's a mirror image of his estranged wife's petition.

Dane is on board with Rebecca's custody and spousal support requests.

Gayheart asked in her divorce petition for spousal support, as well as joint legal and physical custody of the couple's 2 daughters, ages 6 and 7.

They both agree that the marriage is broken due to irreconcilable differences. In short, it appears there are no conflicts in ending the marriage.

The couple has been married for 14 years.

Both have filed legal docs on their own, without lawyers. Celebs often do this, having their business managers work out property settlements with only bare bones legal filings.

Ron White saying "I do" in front of 300 guests, bragging about having a great wife and relishing a blissful life together in Bev Hills is proof he DID get married ... so says a family friend.

Florence Megginson filed a declaration that seems to bolster the claim of the comedian's estranged wife, Margo Rey. She says she was married to Ron, and is therefore able to divorce him. As we first reported, Ron claims they never got a marriage license, and never presented themselves as a married couple.

Florence begs to differ in docs, obtained by TMZ. She says she's been Ron's stylist for years and was at the Fairmont Hotel in Dallas in 2013 to witness Ron and Margo exchange vows.

Florence says she received a wedding invitation 3 months before the ceremony and designed Ron's wedding shirt. Florence also says she saw them "enjoying a wonderful life together in their beautiful home in Beverly Hills," and attended several dinner parties there, and Ron referred to Margo as "my wife."

As we reported ... Margo wants Ron to cough up spousal support.

10:30 AM PT -- A rep for Justin tells TMZ ... "Resnicow’s bizarre comments might carry more weight had he ever actually met Jen or toured Justin’s apartment, neither of which has ever happened."

As for the alleged water damage ... the rep says Justin's deck and apartment had nothing to do with it.

Justin Theroux's neighbor -- who thinks Justin's the Devil -- says he has no beef with Jennifer Aniston and feels sorry for her that Justin made her live in a s**thole apartment she hated from the get-go.

Norman Resnicow tells TMZ ... Jen's always been nice to him and he feels sorry for her, because he believes Justin tried to force her to like his NYC pad and then bailed on her because she didn't.

Resnicow says ... "Everyone knows Jennifer hated the place," and suggests she get top lawyers to protect herself against Theroux, "who is acting crummy to her like he did to me." He adds he's rooting for Jen because she named her most beloved dog Norman.

Norman, who is in a legal blood war with Justin over apartment stuff, says Justin has a lot of nerve because, "Hey, I'm the guy he asked to help ease moving of his previous girlfriend out of the building."
