Jack Osbourne and his wife Lisa have been married for a little over five years. They have three daughters, the most recent was born last February. Just last week, Jack posted this Mother’s Day message to Lisa on his Instagram:
A week later, Lisa filed for divorce. I’m not going to lie, I’m not shocked any more than I saw the writing on the wall because I haven’t really followed Jack or his marriage. However, according to friends, this was a long time in coming, some say from the start.
Jack Osbourne’s wife, Lisa Stelly Osbourne, has filed for divorce after nearly six years of marriage.
Court documents obtained by ET show that Lisa filed for a dissolution of the couple’s marriage in Los Angeles on Friday, citing irreconcilable differences. In her filing, Lisa also asked the court for spousal support, and asked that attorney’s fees and court costs be paid by Jack. The pair tied the knot in Hawaii in October 2012, and are parents to three daughters, Pearl, 6, Andy, 2, and Minnie, 3 months.
A source tells ET that Jack and Lisa had problems at the start of their marriage and “we all kind of thought it would go this way,” referring to a breakup. But once they started having children, their relationship seemed to improve. “They seemed so happy,” the source adds.
Page Six wrote that sources said that Jack’s been staying with family because of their fights and cites the last nine months as particularly bad. This is all unfortunate because Jack seemed to really straighten himself out in the last decade. After he started a family, he became low-key and seemingly made their well-being his priority. Plus, he’s been focusing on his health since he was diagnosed with MS. However, breakups happen and if they’ve been arguing for as long as these articles say, than separating is probably best for all. According to Jack and Lisa’s statement, they are divorcing before it becomes bitter:
On the surface, this reads like a pretty standard deterioration of a marriage, other than it sounds like they were never conflict-free. The sensational part is that she left so soon after she had a baby. If I were to play armchair therapist, I would say that this decision had been made by at least one of them before Lisa got pregnant with their last child and that the pregnancy just delayed things. But how sad that they fought throughout her pregnancy. If their statement is true then good for them, friendly co-parents will be a much better environment for those girls than bickering married parents. I would be delighted if this became a no-drama divorce but as I said, I have no way of knowing if it will. The only thing I do know is that somehow, Sharon and Kelly will find a way to make this about them and their pain.
