Actress and model Jaime King is headed for a surprise divorce after her husband, Austin Sosa, filed to end their marriage on Thursday, according to TMZ. The filing followed reports that the couple married in a secret ceremony, though their engagement had been reported last summer. It remains unclear when they officially wed. News outlets reported in July 2025 that King, 46, and Sosa, an investment banker, were engaged. At the time, King’s representative said, “Jaime is embracing a joyful new chapter with her engagement to Austin Sosa,” adding that her sons “remain her top priority.” The White Chicks star, shares two sons, James, 12, and Leo, 10, with her ex-husband, Kyle Newman. Leo is the godson of pop star Taylor Swift. King filed for divorce from Newman in May 2020, and the split was finalized in September 2023. In March 2025, Newman was granted sole physical custody of their children, after King failed to complete a drug and alcohol rehab program. The new divorce filing came weeks after reports that King was seen in Los Angeles getting cozy with hotelier Vikram Chatwal, 54.
